“We’ve produced live action series, a TV length sitcom and unscripted content to huge success but have always been eager to do an animated series and have had Emo Dad on deck for awhile,” said Benny Fine. “As writers and producers, we’re always looking for ways to push our limits and experiment with different formats. We have had success with animated one offs and interactive experiences so we’re quite excited to bring our first narrative animated series Emo Dad to life!”
