YouTube has announced its first original animated show, “Paranormal Action Squad,” for YouTube Red, its premium subscription service. The show will premier globally on November 16.
The eight-episode animated series follows the exploits of two hapless “paranormal enthusiasts,” Paul and Eddie, who investigate hauntings and other ghostly events with the help of their enthusiastic and idiotic neighbor Vanoss. “Paranormal Action Squad” features the voices of three YouTube gaming stars — Mr_Sark, Vanoss, and SeaNanners — who have a combined reach of about 25 million subscribers on the video platform. It's overseen by Michael Rowe, who’s written for “Futurama” and “Family Guy.”
In a promo video, Mr_Sark, one of the creators of “Paranormal Action Squad,” described the show&039;s humor as “off-color” and said that it will include “high-octane ass-kicking”. The cartoon, reminiscent of the shows commonly associated with Cartoon Network&039;s Adult Swim, is aimed at adults. YouTube&039;s marketing materials tout the show as “DIY heroes for WTF world.” Both YouTube Red and Cartoon Network did not respond to requests for comment.
