DRAWN TOGETHER Creative Team Developing a Sci-Fi Comedy TV Series and Comic Titled FAMILY TIME
The creative team behind the Drawn Together animated comedy, Matt Silverstein and Dave Jeser, are developing a new sci-fi comedy project titled Family Time as both a TV series and a comic book for IDW Entertainment. Silverstein and Jeser have also worked on developing shows such as Solar Opposites, Crank Yankers, and Accidental Love.
The comic is coming from writer James Asmus (Quantum and Woody, Survival Street, Gambit) and artist Edison Neo (Snake Claws, No-Brainer, Tights). It’s scheduled to be released in the summer of 2023.
Nachie Marsham, Publisher, IDW said in a statement: "At IDW, we are perfectly poised to develop properties that live in the same universe, across various platforms. We're thrilled that our first Entertainment and Publishing co-development project is with Matt and Dave; their comedic talent is off-the-charts. We know their vast background, combined with IDW's robust expertise, will produce great content, both in print and on-screen."
Paul Davidson, Executive Vice President IDW Entertainment added: "Working in tandem with our colleagues at every level within our Entertainment and Publishing divisions brings a wealth of opportunities for writers, producers, and other creatives to develop projects across various verticals simultaneously. It's an ideal landscape for a creator's vision to be realized."
Silverstein and Jeser said: "We couldn't be more excited to be working with the entire IDW team, who are exquisitely talented, collaborative, and as charming as we are. We appreciate being given the opportunity to fail and we truly look forward to doing just that."
Family Time falls within IDW’s recently announced slate of new original projects that include Dark Spaces: Wildfire, Trve Kvlt, Crashing, Earthdivers, Dead Seas, Golgotha Motor Mountain, Arca, The Sin Bin, and The Hunger and the Dusk.
