Disenchantment (2018– )
The story is set in a crumbling medieval kingdom: Dreamland and follows the princess and heavy drinker Bean, her aggressive dwarf friend Elfo and her personal demon Luci.
In their adventures, the trio encounters cannibals, fairies, harpies, miscreants, trolls, walruses and a multitude of human fools.
Inside Job (2021-)
Inside Job is a workplace comedy set in a world where many conspiracy theories are real. It is centered on an American shadow government organization Cognito, Inc., which attempts to control the world and keep the conspiracies secret.
The series follows a team led by a tech genius and her new partner as they work in the organization alongside reptilian shapeshifters, a human-dolphin hybrid, and a sapient mushroom from hollow Earth.
Solar Opposites (2020-)
Solar Opposites centers around Terry, Korvo, Jesse, and Yumyulack — a family of aliens who crash land on Earth and are forced to stay there, often disagreeing on whether or not this is a good thing.
The family comes from Planet Shlorp, an advanced totalitarian world that sent out one hundred ships to colonize new planets shortly before its destruction. The show features parallel storylines, the most prominent of which follows a society of humans shrunk by the replicant Yumyulack and imprisoned in a terrarium known as “the Wall”.
Starting in the third season, another storyline follows a group of intergalactic corrupt police officers, known as the SilverCops, that routinely arrest and brutalize Shlorpians fleeing from the destruction of their homeworld.
Close Enough (2020-2022)
A couple in their early thirties, Josh and Emily, and their young daughter, Candice, live in a Los Angeles duplex with their divorced friends, Alex and Bridgette. They get into what seems like normal domestic crises, which tend to escalate in surreal (often even science fiction-esque) ways.
Adventure Time (2010–2018)
Adventure Time follows the adventures of a boy named Finn the Human (voiced by Jeremy Shada), and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake the Dog (John DiMaggio), who has magical powers to change shape and size at will. Pendleton Ward, the series creator, describes Finn as a “fiery little kid with strong morals”. Jake, on the other hand, is based on Tripper Harrison, Bill Murray’s character in Meatballs.
This means while Jake is somewhat carefree, he will “sit [Finn] down and give him some decent advice if he really needs it”. Finn and Jake live in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo, which was ravaged by a cataclysmic event known as the “Mushroom War”, a nuclear war that destroyed civilization a thousand years before the series events.
Throughout the series, Finn and Jake interact with major characters, including Princess Bubblegum (Hynden Walch), the sovereign of the Candy Kingdom and a sentient piece of gum; the Ice King (Tom Kenny), a menacing but largely misunderstood ice wizard; Marceline the Vampire Queen (Olivia Olson), a thousand-year-old vampire and rock music enthusiast; Lumpy Space Princess (Pendleton Ward), a melodramatic and immature princess made out of “lumps”; BMO (Niki Yang), a sentient video game console-shaped robot that lives with Finn and Jake; and Flame Princess (Jessica DiCicco), a flame elemental and ruler of the Fire Kingdom.
Big Mouth (2017-)
Authors Nick Kroll (The League) and Andrew Goldberg (Family Guy) will tell us their adventures from puberty through this comedy animation.

Gravity Falls (2012–2016)
The adventures of twelve-year-old twins brother Dipper and sister Mabel, whose summer plans are ruined when their parents send them to Uncle Stan, who runs the Mystery Chuck museum. However, after a while, Dipper and Mabel begin to realize that something very strange is happening in the museum.
Futurama (1999-2023)
The action takes place in New York in the year 3000. The series begins with the celebration of the new year 2000, when Philip J. Fry, a pizza delivery boy, is accidentally frozen. He is unfrozen a thousand years later, and discovers New York, with many new laws and customs, which, although they seem strange to him, seem completely normal to the inhabitants of that time.
The series follows Fry’s “adventures” as he works as a deliveryman for interplanetary shipments. Although the environment is visibly different, the humans and sentient robots have been slightly altered. This is, in fact, what gives the series a satirical tone, because the message is that human society is still weak and slow to progress and develop.
The Midnight Gospel (2020)
The Midnight Gospel revolves around a spacecaster named Clancy Gilroy, who lives on the Chromatic Ribbon, a membranous, tape-like planet situated in the middle of a colorful void where simulation farmers use powerful bio-organic computers to simulate a variety of universes from which they harvest natural resources and new technology. Each episode revolves around Clancy’s travels through planets within the simulator, with the beings inhabiting these worlds as the guests he interviews for his spacecast.
These interviews are based on actual interviews, with real audio derived from Trussell’s podcast, The Duncan Trussell Family Hour. The episodes typically end with an apocalyptic event from which Clancy barely manages to escape.
Rick and Morty (2013-)
Go on a bizarre, tragic, funny and touching journey through dimensions with the genius Rick Sanchez and his eternally confused grandson Morty.

Infinity Train (2019–2021)

Archer (2009-)
