HBO Max has announced plans for an animated series based on “The Garbage Pail Kids” Topps trading card line and 1980s Saturday morning cartoon.
The gross-out humor and subversive attitude of the kids, essentially a parody of the then-popular “Cabbage Patch Kids” dolls, became a worldwide phenomenon that recently celebrated its 35th anniversary.
The new animated program is set to be family-friendly for an audience of all ages and hails from co-creators and writers Danny McBride and David Gordon Green (“The Righteous Gemstones”) and Josh Bycel (“Solar Opposites”).
All three will executive produce alongside Noel Bright and Steven A. Cohen.
