Netflix Cancels Mike Judge's Animated Comedy BAD CRIMES In The Middle of Production
I’ve got some bummer news to share with you today regarding a new adult animated comedy being developed for Netflix titled Bad Crimes… It’s been canceled.
The project was being developed by Greg Daniels (The Simpsons) and Mike Judge (King of the Hill), but it was canceled in the middle of production. Luckily it’s now being shopped around to other networks and streaming services.
Nicole Byer and Lauren Lapkus were set to voice the lead roles. The series is described as a dark comedy procedural following “Kara (Byer) and Jennie (Lapkus), two FBI agents who travel across the country to solve grisly crimes while juggling their friendship, career ambitions, and as many men as possible.”
The series was created by Nicole Silverberg (Full Frontal with Samanta Bee) and it seemed like it would be a fun series! There’s no reason given as to why Netflix canceled the series, but the cancellation comes after Netflix’s head of adult animation, Mike Moon, stepped down.
Lots of Netflix animation projects have been getting scrapped recently! Hopefully, Bad Crimes ends up finding a new home.
