Seth Rogen and Sarah Silverman Set To Star in HBO Max's Adult Animated Series SANTA INC.

 HBO Max has ordered an adult animated series titled Santa Inc. from Lionsgate and it will star the voices of Sarah Silverman and Seth Rogen. The show is being written and developed by showrunner Alexandra Rushfield (Shrill) and it will consist of 8-episodes.

Santa Inc. is the story of “Candy Smalls (Silverman), the highest-ranking female elf in the North Pole. When the successor to Santa Claus (Rogen) is poached by Amazon on Christmas Eve, Candy goes for her ultimate dream— to become the first woman Santa Claus in the history of Christmas.”

Sounds like it could be fun! Suzanna Makkos, executive vice president original comedy and animation said in a statement:

“I have long dreamed of a taking a beloved holiday tradition and adding a feminist agenda and some R rated comedy and when I read this script from Ali, with Seth and Sarah attached to voice, I knew that it was a perfect fit for us at Max.”

Lionsgate Head of Scripted Development Scott Herbst said:

“Sarah and Seth are the perfect comedy duo for this empowering and very funny animated series shepherded by the hysterical Alexandra Rushfield. We look forward to diving into the world of animation with our Point Grey partners, and to bring the holidays to HBO Max in a totally unexpected and fresh way.”

Rushfield, Silverman, Amy Zvi and Anomalisa’s Rosa Tran will also serve as executive producers on the series. I enjoy the comedy and style of Rogen and Silverman, so I’m on board. But does this sound like an animated show that you’d enjoy watching?
