Stepaside - Adult Animated Comedy Series

Hey guys, I'm new around here and thought I'd share the show I've been working on for the better part of the last two years with the help of my production company 'No Grass Productions'.

It's called "Stepaside", and it focuses on a well-to-do middle-class family who are forced to leave their quaint suburban life in Highgate, London behind and relocate to a rough, working-class town in the north of England. The series blends the caustic, contemporary social commentary of ‘South Park’ with the British self-deprecation of ‘Black Books’ and ‘Little Britain’.

The show is a satirical skewer of modern British life. I have several scripts in the late stages of development, a planned and fleshed out cast, Series Bible, a devoted team, and a completed 30 minute pilot episode which I animated. Few have seen it thus far, as it's only recently been finished and is not yet publicly available, but feedback so far has been positive.

I made a short before the full episode which publically available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYU52yNyuXE&ab

Anyone interesting in learning more feel free to reach out. We've been pitching it like mad for the last month, to agencies all over London. I truly feel it has potential, and we've already got a finished pilot. Adult animation is booming at the moment (Rick & Morty, Bojack Horsman, ect.) with around 10 new adult animated shows debuting in the past year, and I made my whole first episode on a near-zero budget. Adult animation is also an area Britain has never made significant headway in, unlike America. It's an untapped genre, and I believe "Stepaside" could be the British alternative to 'South Park' or 'Family Guy'.
