It’s our pleasure to bring you the exclusive announcement of a new comedy series that pairs perfectly well with your favorite drink of choice. Today,DrinkTV, in conjunction with Shout! Studios andDr. God, is announcing a new show airing exclusively on the streaming platform.Hell Denis an animated series that mixes original animation and re-dubbed cartoons in a deliciously warped and hilarious brew of social satire, musical parody, and good ol’ fashioned absurdist humor.Hell Denis a new take on old cartoons with commentary by an odd group of world-obliterating drinking buddies, one 12 year old kid, and fun guest voices. Take a shot ofRobot Chicken, add a splash ofBeavis and Butthead, and finish it off with a healthy pour ofMystery Science Theater 3000, and you’ve gotHell Den.
The six episode-series takes place after an Uber-Apocalypse wipes out civilization where one kid miraculously survives: 12 year-old Andrew. His house still has electricity, a working television, a VCR, and his deceased parents' fully stocked bar, which draws a few curious apocalypse-creators to his door. There’s Kenneth, the moody Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse; BET-C, a sympathetic but volatile mutant cyborg; Fleek, a sleazy alcoholic alien; and Giantic, a ponderous giant. Together, they break into the liquor cabinet and join Andrew to watch twisted cartoons… because destroying the world is hard work.
From DrinkTV:
“Hell Den is a project that we’ve all been dying to make for years. As animation fans, we’ve always wanted to use our improv skills to reimagine classic cartoons. It’s something we would do in our homes or at comedy festivals late at night just to make each other laugh. Now we get to make other people laugh at our late night psychosis on DrinkTV…which makes us very happy.”
Shout! Studios’Jordan Fieldsadds:
“WithHell DenDr. God has earned its place in the NSFW comedy constellation, and we’re grateful that DrinkTV not only appreciated their unhinged humor but invited it.
When making a sketch comedy series with your best friends, you expect to have fun. What you don’t expect is to have a group of experienced creative DrinkTV executives who can handle their liquor like 1940s Hollywood movie tycoons.”
“Not much goes together better than a few drinks and a few laughs with friends. We’re big fans of Dr. God’s uniquely twisted brand of comedy, and we’re excited to premiere Hell Den on DrinkTV,” saysChris Burke, Co-Founder, DrinkTV. “As soon as we watched the concept trailer we were excited to commission a series. As fans, we really wanted to see where they’d go with it, and they did not disappoint! As the go-to streaming destination for drinks-themed content, we just didn’t think DrinkTV’s programming lineup would be complete without a post-apocalyptic dystopian animated series featuring aliens and robots enjoying martinis and watching old cartoons. Thankfully, Dr. God and Shout! Studios have helped us check that box with style.”

Executive producers includeSean Cowhig,Neil Garguilo,Brian James O’Connell,David Park,Justin Ware,Richard Foos,Garson Foos,Bob Emmer, andJordan Fields.
