A powerhouse team behind “Rick and Morty” is joining forces for a brand new Netflix series titled “The Undervale.
This exciting project assembles a crew with a proven track record of success. Matt Roller, a former “Rick and Morty” writer and current co-executive producer of Fox’s “Krapopolis,” serves as the creator and showrunner for “The Undervale.” He’s joined by an impressive roster of executive producers, including “Rick and Morty” co-creator Dan Harmon, “Rick and Morty” executive producer Steve Levy, and “Spider-Man: No Way Home” writer Chris McKenna. Erica Hayes, another “Rick and Morty” alum, will oversee the project as supervising director.
Billy Wee, Director of Adult Animation at Netflix, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration. He praised the team’s creative vision and collaborative spirit, highlighting his anticipation for the global audience to enjoy the upcoming series.
The Undervale” presents a unique blend of humor and horror. The story revolves around a single mother juggling parenthood and the peculiar task of running a haunted hotel. Adding to the chaos is her estranged (and deceased) brother, who happens to be a resident ghost with some rather unconventional ideas. The show promises to explore the dynamics between the living, the dead, and the underappreciated staff of the Undervale Hotel, all wrapped in a comedic package.
Both Matt Roller and Billy Wee expressed their excitement about bringing “The Undervale” to life. Roller emphasized his delight in working with Netflix and the talented team assembled for the project.
This isn’t the first time these creative minds have come together. Roller and Harmon have collaborated on projects like “Community” alongside Chris McKenna. Roller’s diverse resume also includes “Archer,” Netflix’s “Agent Elvis,” and live-action comedies like “Speechless,” “The Goldbergs,” and “Mr. Mayor.”
With a team boasting such an impressive pedigree, “The Undervale” is poised to be a must-watch for fans of adult animation and dark humor. While a release date hasn’t been announced yet, the future of “The Undervale” certainly looks bright.
