Adult Swim announces 3 new shows
Adult Swim recently announced three new series — SUPERJAIL, FAT GUY STUCK IN INTERNET and LUCY, THE DAUGHTER OF THE DEVIL.
LUCY, THE DAUGHTER OF THE DEVIL: Lucy is living in San Francisco and dating a great new guy, who might just be the Second Coming. The only problem is that her dad always meddles in her life. And, since he’s Satan, he is using her relationship as an excuse to hasten the apocalypse. This series, created by Loren Bouchard, is set to debut this summer.
FAT GUY STUCK IN INTERNET: When hotshot programmer Ken Gemberling is accidentally sucked into the Internet, he finds himself on a quest of epic proportions. With the evil bounty hunter, Chains, hot on his heels, Gemberling must struggle to unravel the mysteries of this strange, new land and, indeed, his own destiny. Is he the new messiah or just another fat guy stuck in Internet? Created by John Gemberling and Curtis Gwinn, this live-action comedy, originally a cult hit on the Internet, premieres this fall.
SUPERJAIL: Superjail is the most violent prison complex in the universe. The staff and inmates cower under the watchful eye of the mysterious Warden, who presides over them like a sadistic Willy Wonka. The psychedelic landscape of Superjail features dangerous criminals, fantastic creatures, bizarre contraptions and frequent riots. Created by Christy Karacas, Stephen Warbrick and Ben Gruber, SUPERJAIL is set to debut in 2008.
