Hulu has confirmed an order for an animated series called Deano, marking Joe Brumm's first foray into creating a program aimed at adults through animation; however, he is coming off the success of his animated children's show Bluey. Deano will be based on an online series that is also called Childish Deano, which has gained a large audience online. The fact that it received a full series order from Hulu means they have solid expectations for this story and characters. The series will consist of 8 episodes, with each episode running approximately thirty minutes in length.Dean Thomas and David Ferrier, creators of the original web show, are different people, so they will create this production, with Dean Thomas also providing the voice for the lead character in the series. Joe Brumm will serve as executive producer on the project, and his reputation from his successful work on Bluey has generated a lot of excitement about how he will adapt his style to create content for an adult audience.Hooligan Animation will produce the series at its Brisbane, Australia, location. The production is also being assisted by the Australian Federal Government's Producer Offset and a Queensland State Grant. Several producers from Hooligan Animation, BBC Studios and 20th Television Animation will collaborate with the producers to create the final product for an international audience.What do the creators say about Deano?Dean Thomas and David Ferrier, who are the original creators of this character and world, said that they are excited to be able to reach out to such a diverse audience, and they still can't believe that it has actually happened, jokingly saying that they are just waiting for someone to say it's a prank. Their excitement towards this moment is a great example of how much this means to them, as they have gone from a small online series to what they have today.The series will be available to stream on Hulu and Hulu bundled with Disney+ for US customers. For customers outside the US, the show will be available to stream on Disney+. Viewers in the UK will also have the option to watch the series on BBC iPlayer and BBC One before it is available to watch on Disney+. Because of this, the new series will likely have a very broad audience from day one, as compared to most shows that originate from web series.BBC Studios will be the lead studio. Their team says they are excited about the project because they see it as bold, creative, and full of personality. They said that the series is smart and driven by strong characters. They also said the series has a sharp sense of humor that stays with you after you watch it. This enthusiasm from the studio hints that they believe the show has the potential to stand out in the adult animation space.What is the story of Deano about?Deano, the main character, is described as a tough but kind boy living in a rough neighborhood. Despite the troubles at home, he remains positive and treats everyone the same, such as friends, neighbors, and even local police. His high energy level makes him very noticeable, and his positive spirit allows him to move throughout the world with surprising confidence.A major part of the story is Deano's friendship with Kit. Kit lives in an upper-class neighborhood and doesn't always understand the difficult world that his friend lives in. However, Deano's ability to be fearless and have such a positive attitude toward life attracts Kit to him. Their friendship will develop throughout the series as the two boys demonstrate how someone from one background can assist someone from another to develop personally.The creators of this series are making the show for those who are looking for something different from most adult animation. They wish to emphasize feelings of hope, companionship, and sincerity rather than merely trying to make people laugh or shock them with anything bleak. For this reason, some will regard Deano as being much more original than most other adult animated series available on television today.It is also evident from the companies involved with the production (Hulu, Disney and BBC Studios) that they believe in the success of Deano as well as having a lot of faith in what the creators have created. Through the use of accomplished creators, a strong production team, and international support, Deano could turn out to be one of the most anticipated new animated series when it gets released.
