A Graphic Designer Has to Find Himself in Trailer for FIRED ON MARS

Max recently dropped a trailer for the upcoming original animated series Fired on Mars. This comes from Nate Sherman and Nick Vokey and tells the story of a graphic designer named Jeff Cooper who gets fired from his job after being relocated to Mars. The animation style looks like a cleaner and more modern version of King of the Hill and isn’t one I’m a huge fan of, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be a good series. Jeff will be voiced by Luke Wilson and other stars of the series include Leslie David Baker, Cory Loykasek, Stephen Root, and Cedric Yarbrough.

Jeff Cooper (Luke Wilson) has it all: a fulfilling career as the graphic designer for space start-up Mars.ly, a relationship with his soon-to-be Red Planet-bound girlfriend, Hannah, and… well, maybe that’s it. But when his bosses unceremoniously eliminate his role, Jeff finds himself jobless and unable to return to Earth. Adrift in the sprawling office colony, Jeff is forced to reinvent himself as he attempts to find meaning in a dangerous, alien, yet all-too-familiar corporate landscape. An existential and irreverent animated comedy series, FIRED ON MARS explores the precarious relationship between work and self...light years away from Earth.

All eight episodes of Fired on Mars are now available to stream on Max. Guest Stars for the series include Pamela Adlon, Thomas Haden Church, Tim Heidecker, Frankie Quinones, Emily Watson, and Sean Wing. Are you excited for this new series?
