[Trailer] From the Mind of Jordan Peele Comes YouTube’s Sci-fi/Comedy Anthology “Weird City”
It’s not exactly a horror project but we figured you guys would probably be interested in checking out the trailer for YouTube Premium’s “Weird City,“ a six-episode sci-fi/comedy anthology series from the minds of Jordan Peele and Charlie Sanders (“Key and Peele”).
The satirical anthology, co-written by Peele and Sanders, is set in the not-too-distant future metropolis of Weird, where the middle class has completely vanished dividing Weird City into two sections: Above the Line (The Haves), and Below the Line (The Have Nots).
Presiding over the denizens of the city is the strange and mysterious Dr. Negari, who weaves all of our stories together. Each episode is a topic that pertains to present day life in America and the world: social media addiction, online dating, fitness obsession, etc. “Weird City” captures the unease of modern urban living, in a bizarre and peculiar lens.
Adam Bernstein (Fargo, Scrubs, 30 Rock) directed the first two episodes. Jose Molina (Marvel’s Agent Carter, Sleepy Hollow) serves as showrunner and executive producer.
Jordan Peele also executive produces the series, which debuts February 13.
The Ghostbusters franchise returns to the world of animation with brand new Netflix series “Ghostbusters: Night Shift,” and the official logo has been revealed this weekend.
Expect “Ghostbusters: Night Shift” to clock in on Netflix in 2027!
Netflix previews, “Ghostbusters: Night Shift, a series from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation based on the beloved Ghostbusters franchise, will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2027.
“The new series marks the next chapter in the franchise’s ghoul-catching legacy, bringing supernatural comedy and paranormal action back to animation.”
The upcoming animated series from Netflix will be executive produced by Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan, Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, Amie Karp, and Dan Aykroyd.
Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, director of the original Ghostbusters features, and Kenan co-wrote the franchise’s most recent installments, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire.
“This isn’t the first time the Ghostbusters universe has gone animated,” Netflix reminds in their press release today. “The 1980s and ’90s saw The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters take over the small screen. For now, you can rest assured: If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, a Ghostbuster will be on the job — even if it’s after hours.”
