Today, Apple TV+ announced the new 10-episode adult animated series Strange Planet will make its global debut on Wednesday, August 9. New episodes will debut weekly on Wednesdays through the season finale on September 27.
Based on the New York Times #1 bestselling graphic novel and social media phenomenon of the same name created by Nathan W. Pyle, Strange Planet is described as a hilarious and perceptive look at a distant world not unlike our own. Set in a whimsical world of cotton candy pinks and purples, relatable blue beings explore the absurdity of everyday human traditions.
This world is populated by beings voiced by Gotham Award nominee Tunde Adebimpe (Rachel Getting Married), Emmy Award nominee Demi Adejuyigbe (The Amber Ruffin Show), Lori Tan Chinn (Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens), Critics Choice Award nominee Danny Pudi (Community) and Emmy Award nominee Hannah Einbinder (Hacks).
Strange Planet is co-created and executive produced by Emmy Award winner Dan Harmon (Rick and Morty, Community) and Pyle. Academy Award winner Alex Bulkley (Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio), Emmy Award winner Corey Campodonico for ShadowMachine (BoJack Horseman, Tuca & Bertie), Lauren Pomerantz (Saturday Night Live, The Ellen DeGeneres Show), Emmy Award winner Amalia Levari (Over the Garden Wall, Harvey Beaks), Steve Levy (Rick and Morty, Community) and Taylor Alexy Pyle serve as executive producers.
Strange Planet is produced by Apple Studios and ShadowMachine.
