'Rick & Morty' Co-Creator To Have a New Series at Quibi

Justin Roiland, who is best known for co-creating Rick & Morty and the makers responsible for Robot Chicken are coming together for an animated series at Quibi.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show called Gloop World is a clay-based stop-motion series that centers on two anthropomorphic blobs, roommates Bob Roundy and Funzy. The series will follow the absurd, strangely relatable adventures of the pair around the malleable, clay-mated suburbia and outskirts of the title location.

Roiland created the series and developed it with Robot Chicken executive producers John Harvatine IV and Eric Towner of Stoopid Buddy Studios. Harvatine will direct.

"Gloop World has been a dream of mine to make for almost seven years,” said Roiland. “A tactile clay animation show with a mysterious, weird and expansive world and really fun characters, fingerprints and all. I couldn’t have done this without the folks at Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, who understood exactly what I meant when I wanted the clay animation to have an imperfect approach, where you can see the animators in the work. I want the Gloop characters to feel like you can reach into your phone and grab them yourself. Can’t wait to share this weird silly show with the world."

Added Harvatine, "Ever since I first saw Gumby, I was fascinated with clay as a medium. Gloop World is funny, and it’s innovative, and Quibi is the perfect home for this show.”

Quibi will be launching on 6th April 2020.
