Apple TV+ Announces a New Webcomic‑Inspired Series: “Strange Planet”
Netflix‑style binge‑watching just got a whole lot wackier. Apple TV+ is set to debut an animated adaptation of the cult‑favorite webcomic “Strange Planet” in August. The show will turn the comic’s quirky take on everyday human rituals into a fully animated, colorful world.
What to Expect
- Creator’s Touch: A brain‑child of Dan Harmon (yes, that same guy from Rick & Morty) and Nathan W. Pyle, the comic’s heart‑warming absurdity is coming to life.
- Visual Style: Think simple shapes, bold colours, and a gentle animation vibe that keeps the humour front and centre.
- Storyline: Each episode will explore familiar human habits—like brushing teeth or making coffee—through the lens of an alien-esque world, turning the mundane into the hilariously ridiculous.
Why This Matters
“Strange Planet” isn’t just a niche project; it’s a top‑selling graphic novel that climbed to the very top of the New York Times bestseller list. The comic’s popularity shows audiences crave fresh, imaginative takes on reality, and Apple TV+ is snapping up that niche.
Get Ready to Beam Up
Mark your calendars for August. With a stylish aesthetic, relatable humour, and the creative heft of Dan Harmon behind it, “Strange Planet” promises to turn your usual sitcom watching into something that feels like you’re stepping into another universe—one that’s oddly, delightfully, and delightfully strange.
Apple TV+ is Loading a New Stardust Surprise
Apple has just dropped a fresh, star‑filled animated adventure that’s bound to make your eyes pop. “Strange Planet” is coming to Apple TV+ on August 9, with a brand‑new line of quirky characters voiced by a squad of talented comedians and actors:
- Tunde Adebample – bringing that clever left‑brain humor
- Lori Tan Chinh – making every line sparkle
- Demi Adejuyigbe – the voice of wit and wryness
- Danny Pudi – which includes some unexpected laughs
- Hannah Einbinder – sweet and sharp as ever
What to Expect
The show will air one episode a week from August 9 until September 27—so booking a binge‑watch Saturday into the night is a no‑problem. Apple’s been tight‑lipped about a trailer, so your YouTube channel might still be empty. But keep your eyes peeled; the teaser could surface in the next few days, giving you a sneak peek before the premiere.
All About Apple TV+
Apple TV+ runs at just $6.99 a month, and it’s a launchpad for a lot of cult favorites: the sci‑fi intrigue of “Severance”, the infectious optimism of “Ted Lasso”, and the chaotic, gaming‑centric world of “Mythic Quest”. So, you’re buying a ticket not only to Strange Planet, but to a whole universe of original content.
Why You Should Tune In
Get ready for a blend of humor, heart, and a dash of cosmic confusion that only Apple’s parody animations can deliver. Whether you’re a science‑fiction lover, a fan of stand‑up, or just looking for a fresh story that packs a punch, Strange Planet has you covered.
Coming Soon!
Mark your calendar: August 9ish, Apple TV+ is launching a show that will leave you talking about strange, but familiar, space stuff. Keep an eye on the Apple YouTube channel—maybe the trailer will land in your inbox next week. Until then, get your popcorn ready.
