Subject: [NEWS]Netflix orders "Dad's House', a new Australian adult animation series


Yawn! Sounds like an Australian version of the idiotic "Family Guy" /
"King of the Hill" type garbage. From the image, it certainly has the
usual awful art style.



Netflix Orders Australian Animated Series 'Dad's House'
From Michael Cusack, Dario Russo, David Ashby
-------------------------------------------------------
Netflix has ordered an adult animated series titled "Dad's House,"
Variety has learned.

The show hails from showrunners and executive producers Michael
Cusack ("Smiling Friends," "YOLO"), Dario Russo ("Danger 5,"
"Italian Spiderman," "The Fox"), and David Ashby ("Danger 5,"
"Italian Spiderman"). All three are also part of the voice cast of
the series along with Felicity Ward ("The Office," "Wakefield,"
"The Inbetweeners 2").

The logline for the show states, "In small-town suburban Australia,
thirteen year old child of divorce, Sean, spends every second
weekend with his laidback, but well meaning dad, Ian. Cramming
quality dad-time into a single weekend is already a tall order -
but Ian has a remarkable gift for making it so much harder than it
needs to be."

Princess Pictures and Bento Box Entertainment will produce the
show. Cusack is repped by UTA and JSSK. Russo is repped by UTA.
Ashby is repped by UTA.

Cusack is the creator of the Australian series "YOLO" and the
co-creator of "Smiling Friends." Both shows have aired on Adult
Swim in the United States, with "YOLO" having aired three seasons
and "Smiling Friends" airing three seasons and three short films.

Netflix's current adult animation slate includes the upcoming
series "Mating Season," which hails from the team behind fellow
Netflix series "Big Mouth." Netflix also currently has shows like
"DANG!," "Alley Cats," and "Haunted Hotel." Last year, Netflix
launched the series "Long Story Short" from "BoJack Horseman"
creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg, which was renewed for a second
season ahead of the series premiere.
