FX has ordered an adult animated pilot called Little Demon which sees Danny and Lucy DeVito star along with Dan Harmon (Rick and Morty) and both Shadowmachine and Jersey Films producing.

Production on the pilot is slated to kick-off next week but Little Demon has been in pre-production for a few months now.

Created by Darcy Fowler, Seth Kirschner and Kieran Valla, in Little Demon, 13 years after being impregnated by the Devil (Danny DeVito), a reluctant mother (Plaza) and her Antichrist daughter (Lucy DeVito) attempt to live an ordinary life in Delaware, but are constantly thwarted by monstrous forces, including Satan, who yearns for custody of his daughter’s soul.

Our Take

The last few times FX has ordered an animated pilot to series, they’ve canceled midway through production with examples including Deadpool and Cassius & Clay. Even if this one goes through, it will be interesting to see if we’ll be able to actually watch it this time. Dan Harmon is an interesting “get” for this project. The plot of this series sounds almost exactly like Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil, doesn’t it?
