The Midnight Gospel, the adult animated series born out of a collaboration between Pendelton Ward and Duncan Trussell, is an absolute visual feast on top of probably being one of the more trippier things you might have seen in awhile. As such, it might be the perfect calming thing to watch (as opposed to watching another doc/movie/TV series about viruses and pandemics).

Just see for yourself in the just released full trailer here, then see if you’re not just momentarily put at ease from being transported as far away as can be from reality right now. Then, look for the whole series to drop on Netflix, later this month on Mon. Apr., 20th.

Combining the otherworldliness of both Pendelton Ward, creator of Adventure Time, and comedian Duncan Trussell can only amount to something super trippy, wildly colorful, and mischievously subversive. To be those things at Netflix (considering their animation line-up already including BoJack Horseman, Tuca & Bertie, and LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS) is quite a feat.

Thus, The Midnight Gospel has been born or, rather, is set to be born on April 20th when all episodes stream on Netflix.

Get a taste of how they’re going to expand and tickle your mind with this teaser (we don’t even want to giveaway too much in order to let you let the idea of The Midnight Gospel wash over you sans any hints)

Netflix Might Have Just Come Up With Their Trippiest Animated Series Yet with “The Midnight Gospel” from Pendelton Ward and Duncan Trussell

A series description of, “…a spacecaster with a malfunctioning multiverse simulator who leaves the comfort of his home to interview beings living in dying worlds,” is certainly as “out there” as Netflix has ever gone; maybe even more so.

The minds of Pendelton Ward, the creator of Adventure Time, and the everpresent-ly trippy Duncan Trussell created what they’re calling The Midnight Gospel and we’re already on board from just the logline. If anything, we’d love to see what beautiful imagery is dreamed up from a premise that has touches of Welcome to Night Vale and Rick and Morty in it.

Look for The Midnight Gospel to arrive in 2020 on Netflix.

Adventure Time Coming to a Close After Season 9

As far as animation that was initially created for kids that also really connects with adults, Adventure Time really gave Pixar a run for its money.

Pendelton Ward’s much beloved animated series will have gone 9 seasons on Cartoon Network as well as have a Simpsons couch gag to their name by the time their run ends.

Before you get too sad, Adventure Time is set to run through 2018.

Season 28 of The Simpsons is only a few days away (Sunday, September 25th at 8PM on Fox) and to start off the season big, they’ve made their very first couch gag in the style of another highly regarded animated series, Adventure Time.

From the characters to the music, The Simpsons do another crossover couch gag right (not that it should surprise anyone at this point).

Watch it here.
