What Happened
Netflix has officially ordered a new adult animated series titled "Dad's House." The showrunners and executive producers are Michael Cusack (co-creator of "Smiling Friends" and creator of "YOLO"), Dario Russo ("Danger 5"), and David Ashby ("Danger 5"). The voice cast will include Cusack, Russo, Ashby, and Felicity Ward.

Why this Matters to You
If you enjoy offbeat adult animation like "Smiling Friends" or "BoJack Horseman," you may have a new series to look forward to on Netflix. The involvement of creators with established cult hits suggests the show could offer a similar blend of humor and unique style. This order signals Netflix's continued investment in adult animation, which may lead to a wider variety of animated content for you to choose from beyond family-friendly offerings.
What's Next
Production on "Dad's House" is likely to begin soon. The series will join other upcoming Netflix adult animated shows, including "Mating Season," which is produced by the team behind "Big Mouth." Netflix's current adult animation slate also includes shows titled "DANG!," "Alley Cats," and "Haunted Hotel." The platform's commitment to the genre appears to be growing, following the successful launch and renewal of "Long Story Short" from "BoJack Horseman" creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg last year.
