Bad Friends finalised for the animated series

According to Deadline, comedians Andrew Santino and Bobby Lee—who together have over a million subscribers on their Bad Friends YouTube channel—will work together on the animated film that Hulu will produce. According to reports, Lee, Santino, Nick Kreiss, and Andres Salaff are developing the next animated series Bad Friends, which will be based on a script written by Kreiss and Santino. 20th-century Television Animation Studios was awarded the adult animation project.

Adult animated series such as Family Guy, Bob’s Burgers, Futurama, and Solar Opposites are available on Hulu. The main focus of Bad Friends will be the friendship between Andrew, who is a fiery lightning bug, and Lee, who is a bashful rolly polly, as they navigate the high school drama of their peculiarly teenage lives.
