Wind Sun Sky Entertainment (WSS), known for boundary-pushing animated hits like Invincible (Prime Video) and Psi Cops (Adult Swim), is teaming up with Emmy-nominated writer Claire Friedman (Saturday Night Live, Desus & Mero, Nick Cannon Show) and writer/director Justin Tyler (The Opposition, Desus & Mero) to deliver a new adult animated comedy series: Starmageddon.
Starmageddon is described as a biting social commentary on the pitfalls of fame and celebrity culture. This 2D, episodic workplace comedy follows Marco and Jordana, two egocentric co-hosts of a daytime gossip show, as they make a Faustian bargain with the Devil to become the number one show on television. Their relentless ambition not only costs them their souls but also ensnares their unsuspecting production crew.
“In a media landscape where fame is more attainable than ever, yet fleeting, Starmageddon taps into the absurdity of our celebrity-obsessed culture,” says Catherine Winder, CEO of Wind Sun Sky Entertainment. “With Claire and Justin at the helm, we truly believe Starmageddon will be one helluva show.”
Tyler and Friedman commented, “Working on Starmageddon has been a dream. Claire and I had a blast creating these hilariously awful, yet relatable characters, who dive headfirst into the hellish culture of celebrity — pitchforks and all. In today’s media environment, where every move is scrutinized and every mistake amplified, Starmageddon feels timely. There is an endless amount of material.”
