TORONTO, April 13, 2023 /CNW/ - Witches, swamp hillbillies, and snake gods. What do these all have in common? Fancy hats! Well yes, but alongside aliens and old men, voodoo dolls and the ever-important debate of hamburgers vs. tacos, you'll find them in Adult Swim Canada's first original animated series, Psi Cops premiering Sunday, June 4 at 12:30 a.m. ET/PT on Adult Swim and available to stream live and on demand with STACKTV. Debuting immediately after the Season 6 premiere of The Eric Andre Show, the animated comedy series, commissioned by Corus Entertainment and produced by Wind Sun Sky Entertainment and Oddfellows Labs, follows coworker friends forever (CFFs) Kydd (Chris Nielsen) and Felixx (Bart Batchelor) who are top detectives at the paranormal agency Psi Cops where they solve mysteries and supernatural crimes using their overly competent incompetence. To kick off the premiere of Psi Cops on Adult Swim, series creators, stars and executive producers Bart Batchelor and Chris Nielsen will attend Calgary Expo on Thursday, April 27 beginning at 7:30 p.m. for an exclusive screening and Q&A panel.
Unjustifiably bold and unnecessarily creative, detectives Kydd and Felixx work as paranormal investigators at Psi Cops, a secret agency crammed into a shady office complex and helmed by true believer, Chief Beef. Alongside a rag-tag group of "experts," each week we follow Kydd and Felixx out in the field as they investigate alleged sightings of aliens, ghosts, demons, and other hocus-pocus nonsense.
Join Canadian creators Bart Batchelor and Chris Nielsen, Oddfellows Labs producer Chris Ferguson, as well as Wind Sun Sky Entertainment executive producer and industry leader, Catherine Winder (Star Wars: The Clone Wars; Amazon Prime's animated series Invincible, The Angry Birds Movie) for an exclusive first look screening of two episodes followed by a Q&A panel in PALOMINO E at Calgary Expo on Thursday, April 27 at 7:30 p.m. in advance of the series premiere on Adult Swim this summer. Will they discuss the making of the series? The Canadian animation industry? Is this actually their first rodeo? No one knows… it's really up to them to decide what they'll talk about. Calgary Expo is a four-day comics, sci-fi, horror, anime, and gaming event from April 27-30 that attracts hundreds of thousands of people to Calgary, AB at Stampede Park.
