FXX Picks Up Animated Horror-Comedy “Little Demon” Starring Danny DeVito and Aubrey Plaza
After ordering a pilot last year, Deadline reports today that FXX has picked up animated horror-comedy “Little Demon,” with Danny DeVito and Aubrey Plaza attached to star.
The series was 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.”
“Little Demon” comes from Jersey Films 2nd Avenue, ShadowMachine and FX Productions.
Executive producers include Aubrey Plaza and Dan Harmon (“Rick & Morty”).
Production on Season 4 of Netflix’s “The Witcher” is now underway, with Liam Hemsworth taking over the role of Geralt of Rivia from Henry Cavill. Additionally, Netflix has announced today that “The Witcher” has been renewed for a fifth and FINAL season.
Netflix announces, “[Season 4] will be followed by a final season that’s being shot back-to-back with the fourth, and will complete the adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s books.”
“It is with huge pride that we begin shooting our penultimate season of The Witcher with a stellar cast, including some exciting new additions, led by Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia,” said creator/showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich. “We’re thrilled to be able to bring Andrzej Sapkowski’s books to an epic and satisfying conclusion. It wouldn’t be our show if we didn’t push our family of characters to their absolute limit — stay tuned to see how the story ends.”
The fourth and fifth seasons will cover Sapkowski’s three remaining books: Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow, and Lady of the Lake. As mentioned, Liam Hemsworth is taking over the role of Geralt from Henry Cavill, who played the character in the first three seasons.
“As a Witcher fan, I’m over the moon about the opportunity to play Geralt of Rivia,” said Hemsworth. “Henry Cavill has been an incredible Geralt, and I’m honored that he’s handing me the reins and allowing me to take up the White Wolf’s blades for the next chapter of his adventure. Henry, I’ve been a fan of yours for years and was inspired by what you brought to this beloved character. I may have some big boots to fill, but I’m truly excited to be stepping into The Witcher world.”
Sharlto Copley, James Purefoy, and Danny Woodburn will also star in Season 4, alongside Laurence Fishburne, Anya Chalotra, Freya Allan and Joey Batey.
“After the shocking, Continent-altering events that close out Season 3, the new season follows Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri, who are separated and traversing the war-ravaged Continent and its many demons. If they can embrace and lead the groups of misfits they find themselves in, they have a chance of surviving the baptism of fire — and finding one another again.”
