LITTLE DEMON
I had the privilege of watching the pilot episode of LITTLE DEMON (trailer here) at Comic Con this year, and I can finally tell you about it because the animated series premiered on FXX this week! The series kicks off with 13-year-old Chrissy (voiced by Lucy DeVito) trying to fit into middle school life (so you should already feel bad for her). She gets caught up in a custody battle between her human mother, voiced by Aubrey Plaza, and her father, literally Satan and voiced by Danny DeVito. This turns out to be a story about puberty and coming into your own with all the external pressures in the way—whether that feels as grounded as your parents separating or as out-of-this-world as finding out that you're the Antichrist, Warning! This series is violent and raunchy…so not for co-viewing with your young kids…but I literally laughed out loud so many times during the pilot and it's truly one of a kind.) From the minds of Darcy Fowler (who is a part of the PS family—hi Darcy!), Seth Kirschner, and Kieran Valla, LITTLE DEMON is already proving to be a breakout adult animated show. After all, I think we can all agree-- growing up can be hell.
