King of the Hill creators Greg Daniels and Mike Judge are back in business.
More than 25 years since Fox launched the beloved animated comedy, Daniels and Judge have reunited to form an animation company, Bandera Entertainment, and want to expand the format to include as many subgenres as live-action fare.
The duo has spent the past couple of years building up a slate of more than a dozen animated series in various stages of development at Bandera, where they work alongside former YouTube head of originals Dustin Davis on a programming roster that includes Netflix’s newly ordered Bad Crimes, starring Nicole Byer and Lauren Lapkus. The series, from creator and former Reductress editor Nicole Silverberg (Full Frontal With Samantha Bee), is described as an “adult animation dark comedy procedural” and represents the types of boundary-pushing programming Daniels and Judge want Bandera to represent.
