MAD MAX Meets CHEERS in Trailer for Roku's Post-Apocalyptic Animated Comedy Series DOOMLANDS
Roku has released a wild, insane, and bloody trailer for its upcoming animated comedy series Doomlands, which is set in the post-apocalyptic ruins of Australia.
The series focuses on “Danny Doom and aspiring bartender Lhandi as they sling beers across a hellish wasteland in their mobile subterranean pub: The Oasis. Facing ruthless desert gangs, memory-stealing creeps, and even mean bathroom graffiti, all this crew's got to do to survive is not kill each other.”
The series was created by Josh O'Keefe who said in a statement, "Doomlands is a post-apocalyptic animated comedy soaked in dust, beer and blood. It's an homage to Ozploitation and Sci-Fi cinema, and after many years in development, I'm so stoked for it to debut on The Roku Channel.”
The series was developed and produced by Josh Bowen, who said, "Doomlands is Mad Max meets Cheers in the Mos Eisley Cantina, which is a major part of what originally attracted us to the concept. This project was produced almost entirely throughout the pandemic. In fact, Josh literally produced this show from my mom's basement with the help of her home cooked meals. The final product is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of our team, and we're so excited that it's now a Roku Original."
Doomlands is written by O'Keefe, Roger Bainbridge, Brandon Hackett, Kayla Lorette, and Mark Little. Lee Porter and O'Keefe serve as co-showrunners for the series.
Doomlands stars Mark Little as Danny Doom and Kayla Lorette as Lhandi. It’s set to premiere on January 28th on The Roku Channel.
