DOOMLANDS Is An Upcoming Adult Animated Series about a Mobile Subterranean Pub in a Hellish Wasteland
Quibi has ordered a new adult-themed animated comedy series titled Doomlands. The show comes from Josh O’Keefe, Josh Bowen (Gary and His Demons), and Look Mom! Productions, a Blue Ant Studios company that specializes in original animated programming for teens and adults.
The series follows “the infamous Danny Doom and aspiring bartender Lhandi sling beers across a hellish wasteland in their mobile subterranean pub: The Oasis. In order to survive, all the crew needs to do is not kill each other.”
O’Keefe created the series and will direct it. It’s explained that the series pays homage to O’Keefe’s Australian upbringing and love for “Ozploitation” film. O’Keefe began the project through a successful Kickstarter campaign, which is where it was picked up. Bowen, Creative Director of Look Mom! Productions, said in a statement:
“When I was first introduced to Josh O’Keefe’s concept for Doomlands, I immediately loved the idea of a motley crew of characters roaming around a wasteland in a subterranean vehicle that doubles as a bar. The only thing I was disappointed in is the fact that there isn’t a bar that exists like this in real life,” said Bowen, Doomlands EP and Creative Director of Look Mom! Productions. “We couldn’t have found better partners in Quibi and can’t wait for The Oasis to roll onto screens across Canada and the U.S.”
This sounds like it could be a fun series that I’d enjoy watching! I just wish it was coming to another streaming service or network other than Quibi. I don’t know how many of you have subscribed, but I’m not really sold on it. I just don’t like watching shows or movies that I’m interested in on my phone.
