No two Netflix adult animated shows are the same and that's how we like it. From comedy mainstays likeBig MouthandF Is for Family, to uncharted storytelling experiences likeThe Midnight Gospel- there's something for everyone. And we're excited to expand our slate and push the boundaries of what's possible in adult animation.

Like partnering with the leading voices in stop motion animation - Emma de Swaef and Marc Roels, Niki Lindroth von Bahr, and Paloma Baeza - to create a true work-of-art that is our upcoming anthology The House, and empowering new voices, like Shion Takeuchi, the creator and executive producer of Inside Job, and Kelly Galuska, the co-creator and executive producer of Human Resources, who are both first-time showrunners.

In addition to working with some of the best production studios in the world, we've also built our own state-of-the-art adult animation studio in Los Angeles. It's here where the greatest creative minds in adult animation come together to make industry-defining content, reflective of the diversity in cast, crew, tone and format we strive for in all of our series and films.

And today, we're proud to unveil new details about where we're headed. We're introducing our first-stop motion anthology, The House, at the same place where it first began - the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.

Stay tuned for more news throughout the morning on our first spin-off Human Resources, set in the world of the creatures from Big Mouth, as well as Inside Job, the first adult animation series created in-house at Netflix.
