Comedy Central Developing Two New Original Animated Series Via Digital For Linear

Comedy Central today announced a digital series order for Bobby Moynihan’s Loafy and a new season order for Blark and Son, from Stoopid Buddy Stoodios. The #1 brand in comedy ordered eight new short-form, digital episodes of each series, along with a linear pilot script for both Loafy and Blark and Son. The new digital episodes will rollout across all Comedy Central digital and social platforms in 2020.

Loafy is an animated comedy about a weed-dealing manatee who runs a drug empire from his water tank at the Center (much worse than Central) Park Zoo. Bobby Moynihan (Saturday Night Live, Crank Yankers, Drunk History) voices the main character and he also serves as creator, writer and executive producer of the series. Loafy is executive produced by Luke Kelly-Clyne’s Big Breakfast, a recent acquisition of Propagate Content. Bobby is no stranger to original series on Comedy Central as he most recently guest-starred as Dr. Penis on an episode of Crank Yankers. 

Created by Ben Bayouth, and developed with head writer Adam Aseraf, Blark and Son is a short-form comedy about an overly manly, single dad (Blark) who incessantly tries to hang out with his overly nerdy, internet-addicted son (named Son). Blark and Son continuously juggle the revolving door of oddball friends and neighbors who cycle through their zany and at times heartwarming lives. Blark & Son is produced by Stoopid Buddy Stoodios. Aseraf, Bayouth, Seth Green, John Harvatine IV, Matthew Senreich, Eric Towner and Chris Waters serve as Executive Producers.

Blark and Son has been around for a bit, and along with Loafy, Comedy Central is developing these series to have strong social followings that could then be adapted for linear television viewing.
