EXCLUSIVE: Misfit janitors in a mysterious research facility are the subject of Doomsweepers<\/a>, an animated comedy-horror series out of Australia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Monkie Kid series director Sarah Harper has created the \u201chorror-action-comedy\u201d show with Sydney 2D animation studio Flying Bark<\/a> onboard as producer. Also attached are Lightfold<\/a>, Olan Rogers\u2019 comics and animation studio aimed at creators. <\/p>\n

A crowdfunder round held in collaboration with Lightfold has launched to raise further financing. A first-look trailer has dropped on YouTube to support the raise. You can see that above.<\/p>\n

Last week, Flying Bark and Lightfold dropped a teaser for the project, but no key details were dropped at the time. We\u2019ve now got word on the fun-looking antics it could provide.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the Doomsweepers synopsis: \u201cSet in a mysterious research facility, Doomsweepers follows a team of misfit janitors who go from cleaning the staff room one day, to saving the world the next, and in doing so they unravel the facility\u2019s best kept secret.\u201d <\/p>\n

Producers say the \u201ccandy-coloured art direction brings a unique, vibrant energy to the show that provides a visual point of difference from traditional dark, dystopian, apocalyptic content.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flying Bark is a 2D animation specialist based in Australia, with studio locations in Sydney, L.A. and Madrid. Recent productions include Netflix\u2019s\u00a0Stranger Things: Tales From \u201985, Paramount\u2019s\u00a0Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender and original series\u00a0Shaun Tan\u2019s Tales from Outer Suburbia.<\/p>\n

Lightfold, meanwhile, launched in 2023 to develop animated projects that have a direct connection to fans. Final Space\u00a0creator Rogers and producer Forrester Kane created the biz, with the former\u2019s crowdfunded animation pilot\u00a0Godspeed its debut project. It launched on YouTube three years ago and has received more than 2.2 million views.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harper \u2013 a writer, director and showrunner known for work on Lego\u2019s Monkie Kid franchise and Nickelodeon\u2019s Glitch Techs and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles \u2013 developed the \u201cdeeply personal project inspired by unsung heroes.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cThe idea for Doomsweepers was born in 2019, when Australia was battling catastrophic bushfires, only to be hit by a global pandemic soon after. In those moments of uncertainty, I found myself drawn to the stories of everyday people who stepped up when it mattered most.\u00a0
\u201cThe Doomsweepers aren\u2019t your typical heroes: they\u2019re janitors in a tech facility, overlooked and underestimated. But when chaos erupts, they rise to the occasion, proving that courage can come from the most unexpected places.\u201d<\/p>\n
