The new series, Filthy Animals, will be an animated sci-fi comedy starring and executive produced by Jones through her Le Train Train production banner, with artists Nikolai and Simon Haas, Carey O’Donnell and Johnny Smith having created the project and Stoopid Buddy Studios set to produce.
Filthy Animals will focus on Sunny Day (Jones), a lonely, too-smart-for-her-own-good suburban 12-year-old who befriends Cruz who is described as a “selfish, renegade, messy, suave adoptive cat.” In addition to Jones and McCormack, the series will be executive produced by the Haas brothers, Smith and Stoopid Buddy’s Seth Green, John Harvatine IV, Matthew Senreich, Eric Towner and Chris Waters.
The series marks the third new project between Stoopid Buddy and the new streaming service, with the animation studio developing the clay-animation series Gloop World from Rick and Morty co-creator and star Justin Roiland and the stop-motino action series Micro Mayhem.
