The new US TV channel FXX has decided to make its very first animated series, and it’s going a bit LGBT to do it. It’s been announced that they’ve ordered a show called Chozen, about a gay rapper.
The comedy comes from the creative teams behind Eastbound & Down and Archer, and follows ‘a gay white rapper fresh out of prison with a new message and new skills, which he will use in his quest for redemption and domination’.
The voice cast will include Grant Dekernion, Bobby Moynihan (Saturday Night Live), Hannibal Buress (Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell), Michael Pena (Gangster Squad), Nick Swardson (Parks and Recreation), Danny McBride (Eastbound & Down), Kathryn Hahn (Anchorman), and Method Man (The Sitter).
Grant Dekernion will also serve as writer and executive producer, and he will also be writing and rapping the songs. Danny McBride, Jody Hill and David Gordon Green from Rough House Pictures (Eastbound & Down) are Executive Producers. Adam Reed and Matt Thompson of Floyd County Productions (Archer) are Executive Producers and their company will animate the series.
FXX is a spin-off of the popular channel FX, which will be geared towards a young adult audience. It’s due to launch in the States on September 2nd, 2013.
