Comedy Central is moving forward with Triptank, an animated half-hour series made up of “fast-paced, hard-hitting animated shorts.” The series, executive produced by Alex Buckley and Corey Campodonico (Robot Chicken), will debut with eight episodes next fall.
Announcing the new series, Kent Alterman, Head of Original Programming and Production, Comedy Central, stated: “When we did the pilot, they assured me it would be literally animated…and it was. We will do the same for the series.”
“Triptank is the ultimate playground for comedy writers and animators,” added Bulkley and Campodonico. “We’re thrilled to be working with the great team at Comedy Central.”
The Plot:
Triptank is an anthology of animated comedy shorts created by a varied list of creators, ranging from new voices to established comedic talent. Bulkley and Campodonico will utilize a broad range of formats including 2D, stop-motion and CGI to showcase some of the best and brightest in the comedy community. Creative talent in the pilot included Bob Odenkirk, Larry David, Zach Galafianakis, Kumail Nanjiani, Brett Gelman and Kyle Kinane.
