HBO Max Orders Adult Animated Series 10-YEAR OLD TOM

HBO Max picked up a new animated series titled 10-Year Old Tom from The Life and Times of Tim creator, Steve Dildarian, for HBO Max. The series is a new adult animated series that seems to follow a boy named Tom who becomes more and more corrupt just by living his life.

In the series, Tom grapples with being corrupted by the grownups around him each day just by leaving his house. Bad influences seem to lurk around every corner — litigious parents, drug dealing bus drivers, and band teachers who want to sleep with his mom. If he sets up a lemonade stand, he gets sued for gross negligence. If he plays baseball, he is encouraged to “dabble with roids.” And if he visits the school nurse, he is introduced to the world of insurance fraud. The grownups in Tom’s life all mean well, but somehow just can’t manage to lead by example.

Dildarian released the following statement:

I’m so excited to be making this show, and couldn’t ask for better partners than HBO Max, Nick Weidenfeld and Tomorrow Studios. I can’t wait to tell these stories through the eyes of Tom, an innocent kid trying to navigate a world that seems to get crazier by the day.

Dildarian is set to executive produce the series alongside animation veteran Nick Weidenfeld, Snowpiercer producer Tomorrow Studios, as well as Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements of Tomorrow Studios. There’s no release date yet, nor any casting, but Weidenfeld did say:

Not only is Steve insanely funny, he is one of the rare talents that can write, draw and do voices. He’s the triple threat that is the foundation of all great animated shows.
