For any viewers looking for shows like Family Guy, there are some great adult cartoons available. By using and often subverting the animated family sitcom format popularized by The Simpsons, Family Guy's reign began in 1999, and, like its predecessor, appears to have no end in sight. In recent years, however, long-time archetypes of shows like Family Guy and The Simpsons have fluctuated in popularity and quality. This has allowed newcomers like Rick and Morty, Big Mouth, Bob's Burgers, and Invincible to contend for the after-dark TV throne.

Even loyal viewers of Family Guy's 22-plus seasons don't need to search that far in order to find an alternative to Seth MacFarlane's flagship cartoon. Shaped by audience expectations and the evolution of both animation and storytelling styles, modern adult cartoons rival live-action series and movies in just about any category. The best adult cartoons around are among the best animated shows available anywhere,...

In Apple TV’s The Studio, Continental Studios specializes in big-budget movie blockbusters — not indie, arthouse films. Top executive Matt, played by Seth Rogen, and his team are tasked with reinvigorating the increasingly commercialized art form, but in the trailer for The Studio, released Tuesday, viewers watch as his empire begins to crumble.

“I got into this because I love movies, but now I have this fear that my job is to ruin them,” Matt says in the trailer.

Glen Powell (Twisters) stars in The Running Man as a “desperate man, needing money for his sick daughter, who joins the most popular show, The Running Man, in which teams of killers hunt down contestants. The longer that a contestant survives, the more money that person makes. But as the game show’s producers and killers will find out, this desperate man will break all the rules and expose the show’s dark secrets.” Cera will play a “naïve rebel who tries to help the desperate man,” while Jones will play a “privileged woman blind to the oppression of the government opposite Powell’s Richards.“

The entire staff of Annapurna Interactive, the video game division at Megan Ellison’s Annapurna, has resigned, according to a report from Bloomberg, citing multiple sources. A rep for the company did not comment on the story.

On Sept. 6, Annapurna said that its president, Nathan Gary, who also oversaw the company’s video game operations, would be exiting along with the co-heads of Annapurna’s indie gaming division, Deborah Mars and Nathan Vella. This week, Bloomberg reports that Gary and the staffers in the company’s gaming division, over two dozen in total, resigned after negotiations to spin off the video game division from the larger company fell through.

Hector Sanchez, who helped found Annapurna Interactive, joined the company from Epic Games as the president of interactive and new media, and will now oversee the company’s gaming efforts. Today’s report noted that the resignations caused concern among Annapurna’s game-making partners.

Annapurna president Nathan Gary is stepping down and leaving the company after a three-year stint, according to an insider with knowledge of the company. Deborah Mars and Nathan Vella, the co-heads of the indie gaming division, are also departing.

Under the leadership of Annapurna founder and CEO Megan Ellison, Annapurna will more closely integrate its in-house gaming and cross-media strategy with the overall business as the company approaches IP and storytelling from a multimedia perspective, leveraging its expertise across live-action and animated film and television, gaming and theater.

President of Interactive and New Media Hector Sanchez, who recently rejoined the company from Epic Games, will take over responsibility for Annapurna’s slate of indie games, in addition to leading the company’s expansion into Aaa games.

Gary and AI executive James Masi, alongside Ellison and Sanchez, co-founded Annapurna Interactive in 2016 and have helped build the company’s interactive business.

Despite financial challenges in recent years,...

Deadline has confirmed that Nathan Gary, the president of Annapurna Pictures, is departing after a three-year stint.

In addition, Annapurna’s Heads of Gaming, Deborah Mars and Nathan Vella, are also exiting.

Hector Sanchez, who recently returned to the studio division he helped launch in 2016, will be in charge of Annapurna’s gaming endeavors as President of Interactive and New Media.

THR first had the news. Ellison is bringing her gaming division together with the rest of her film, TV, theater departments.

Gary was the former head of interactive at Annapurna before ascending to President.

Annapurna has a movie at TIFF, by the way: The Amy Adams headliner Nigthbitch which is making its world premiere here tomorrow night. Annapurna had the Oscar nominated animated movie Nimona this past year which streamed on Netflix and the animated TV series Sausage Party: Foodtopia. They also produced the Sarah Paulson Tony winning play Appropriate.

Nathan Gary is stepping down as the president of Megan Ellison’s Annapurna, a post he has held since 2021, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Gary will also be departing the company.

The co-heads of Annapurna’s indie gaming division, Deborah Mars and Nathan Vella, are also departing.

Hector Sanchez recently rejoined Annapurna from Epic Games and was named the company’s president of interactive and new media. (Sanchez helped launch Annapurna Interactive in 2016.) He will oversee the company’s indie gaming efforts as Annapurna is also looking to expand into Aaa, or large-budget, games.

Under Ellison and her senior leadership, the company will integrate its in-house gaming operations with the rest of Annapurna’s divisions, which include film, TV and theater.

Gary was elevated to president following his time as chief of interactive, co-founding the company’s gaming division. In the past couple of years, Annapurna has ascended in the indie gaming space,...

There are some Saturday Night Live alums missed more than others. Many of them have gone on to have amazing careers, but we would certainly love to see them back. Even if it’s just for one night!

Many great comedic talents in movies got their start on Saturday Night Live. We’re looking at the likes of Eddie Murphy, Tina Fey, and yes, even Will Ferrell. SNL isn’t one of those shows that says goodbye to alums forever. There are some who do come back, which means that the chances of seeing others is up there. It all depends on schedules.

Here are five SNL alums we would love to see return next season, even just for one episode.

It may be hard to remember that Will Ferrell was on Saturday Night Live.

With the better part of a decade gone since it first got in the works, Robert Kirkman offers a disappointing update on the live-action Invincible movie. Well before Kirkman teamed with Simon Racioppa and Prime Video for the hit animated show, the comic book creator was first working with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg to develop a live-action movie based on his graphic novel series. Even amidst the show's success, Kirkman has frequently assured that the live-action Invincible movie was still in the works, though indicated a desire to get it right has led to its slow progress.

During a recent interview with The Direct at San Diego Comic-Con, Kirkman was asked for an update on the live-action Invincible movie. The comic book creator reaffirmed that the movie is still in the pipeline, though indicated that "it's probably going to be in development for a while longer", even hinting that...

“We’re not jaded to the point that we don’t appreciate the golf carts,” Seth Rogen says when I tell him I rode one over to our meeting.

“No,” says Evan Goldberg. “We raced them the other night.”

Let that reassure anyone who suspects these lifelong creative partners, now in their early forties, have shed their boyish enthusiasm. The cart-racing is a perk of the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California, where the pair are huddled up in their office, having commenced a 14-hour shooting day that will grind on until 3 a.

It’s tee time for Quinta Brunson.

Point Grey Pictures is teaming with the “Abbott Elementary” star and her production company Fifth Chance on the upcoming comedy feature “Par for the Course” for Universal Pictures. She is set to star in the film alongside “Everything Everywhere All At Once” standout Stephanie Hsu.

Brunson will also co-write alongside “Abbott Elementary” scribe Justin Tan, who will also direct the project in his feature debut. Alex McAtee is set to produce on behalf of Point Grey under its first-look deal with Universal.

Point Grey was founded in 2011 by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, and is behind projects including “Joy Ride,” “Neighbors” and “Miller’s Girl.” Most recently, Point Grey released the fourth season of Prime Video’s “The Boys” and “Sausage Party: Foodtopia.”

Plot details for the film, based on an original idea from Brunson, are being kept under wraps.

Another season of Prime Video’s “Invincible” is on the way.

“Invincible” creator Robert Kirkman made the Season 4 announcement at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday at Prime Video’s adult animation panel. He was joined by “Hazbin Hotel” creator Vivienne Medrano, “The Legend of Vox Machina” executive producer and star Travis Willingham and “Sausage Party: Foodtopia” co-creator Kyle Hunter for the panel. Prime Video also renewed “Hazbin Hotel” and “Sausage Party: Foodtopia” for sophomore seasons.

Star Trek: Section 31 with Sam Richardson offers a different take on the franchise. Richardson is a lifelong Star Trek fan. Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh leads the cast in Paramount+'s first Star Trek streaming movie.

Star Trek: Section 31 actor Sam Richardson teases how Star Trek's first streaming movie is "a different look" at the venerable franchise. Richardson plays an unknown role in Star Trek: Section 31, which is led by Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh reprising her iconic role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou from Star Trek: Discovery. Little is known about Star Trek: Section 31, but it presumably involves time travel and the film appears to be set in Star Trek's 'lost era' of the early 24th century.

Sausage Party: Foodtopia is a streaming hit on Prime Video, ranking tenth on Reelgood's Top 10 TV shows chart. The sequel series features familiar voices like Seth Rogen and Kristen Wiig but lacks critical acclaim compared to the original movie. Reviews for Sausage Party: Foodtopia are mixed, with critics praising its crude humor but criticizing it as a rehash of old material.

Sausage Party: Foodtopia has become a streaming success on Prime Video. A sequel to 2016's Sausage Party, the adult animated comedy series picks up following the events of the film as Frank and friends create the titular Foodtopia safe haven, which is nearly destroyed by a massive flood, forcing them to partner with humans to ensure their survival. The Sausage Party: Foodtopia cast includes Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Michael Cera, David Krumholtz, and Edward Norton reprising their roles from the film with Will Forte, Natasha Rothwell, Sam Richardson, and Yassir Lester voicing new characters.

The two most-watched streaming originals in the U.S. during the week of July 12-18 were Peacock’s “Love Island USA” Season 6 and Disney+’s “Descendants: The Rise of Red,” topping Luminate’s TV and film charts, respectively, with 1.1 billion minutes watched.

This was the second week at No. 1 for "Love Island." Season 6 viewership improved slightly from last week's 919 million minutes watched after the release of Episodes 28 through 33. "The Rise of Red" debuted on the the first day of this viewing window, giving it a full week to accrue its total.

In their first full weeks of availability on Netflix, Season 3 of "Vikings: Valhalla" was second-most-watched (1 billion minutes) and docuseries "Receiver" took third place (886.5 million minutes). "The Boys" Season 4 took fourth place with 577.8 million minutes watched in the first full week of availability of its penultimate episode and the first few hours of availability of its finale.

Norway really saw Seth Rogen make the most unlikely and inappropriate movie-turned-series with Sausage Party and said, “Hold my lutefisk.”

Last week, Rogen and Amazon Prime Video launched Sausage Party: Foodtopia, the even more crass and heavy-handed social critique sequel series to his 2016 film that many of us thought was a collective hallucination from a combination of food poisoning and overindulgence on dank. As such, Sausage Party: Foodtopia opened with a second enormous food orgy that has many critics and viewers wondering exactly where the series can go from here on its quest to make the most upsetting cartoon porn out of Pixar-esque animation.

The answer, apparently, is in Northern Europe, where a Norwegian animated musical comedy film called — seriously — Spermageddon just found a French distributor following a successful premiere at the annual Annecy Film Festival.

The world of adult animation is getting another serving of raunchy humor as “Sausage Party: Foodtopia,” the sequel series to the 2016 hit film “Sausage Party,” arrives on Amazon Prime Video. Creator and star Seth Rogen, along with returning cast members Kristen Wiig and Sam Richardson, have been dishing out behind-the-scenes details that shed light on the creative process and challenges of bringing this unconventional comedy to life.

The new eight-part series continues the story of sentient supermarket items in a world where humans have gone extinct. Rogen, who voices the main character Frank the sausage, revealed that the transition from film to series format has allowed for greater creative freedom. “I think television is so different than when we made the first movie and it allows for so much more in a lot of ways,” Rogen told The Hollywood Reporter. He added that the series format enables them to “take...

Sausage Party: Foodtopia continues the story of the movie, with Frank and Brenda leading an uprising against humanity, exploring new societal structures. Several major characters from the movie return in the sequel series, as well as new additions like the villainous Julius and unlikely food ally Jack.

Rather than imagining toys or cars or monsters coming to life, Sausage Party imagines the secret lives of food on the shelves of supermarkets. It sees a hot dog named Frank and...

Seth Rogen used “real sex noises” for ‘Sausage Party’s big climax scene.The 42-year-old comedian - who wrote and starred in the 2016 adult animated movie - revealed he shocked the production team after he went into the booth and got a bit too carried away recording his moans for the movie’s mass-sex scene.Speaking to CinemaBlend, he said: “I’ll tell you what.

Well, hot dog! Seth Rogen’s adult animated movie “Sausage Party” made waves in 2016 with its box office success and unforgettable food orgy scene.

Upon its release in 2016, Seth Rogen’s Sausage Party took the world by storm as it was the first rated-r CG animated feature. But while making this film was a challenge following its graphic nature, the creators have doubled down on this aspect with Sausage Party: Foodtopia.

While the film was full of s-xual innuendos, which concludes with a full-blown o-gy, involving groceries, the sequel takes the crown when it comes to the most perverted scenes so far.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw Sausage Party. I loved every crude minute of that animated comedy. Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Michael Cera, and crew took food to a whole new level. And now, you may have caught some of the eight episode event, Sausage Party: Foodtopia. Frankly, I dig the series more than the film! I love the additional cast that includes Edward Norton and the amazing Sam Richardson. Much like the movie, the series is crude, rude, and yet it’s suprisingly sweet.

Seth Rogen is the best. I love talking to this fine gentleman. And I feel the same about the incredible Kristen Wiig and Sam Richardson. All three are incredibly kind, and so damn funny. I was really happy to sit down with the three in-person. But where to begin? Well, I thought it would be fun to get right to it to the conversation.

The first season of Seth Rogan’s bawdy food comedy Sausage Party: Foodtopia concluded on an interesting cliffhanger, strongly hinting at the possibility of a continuation in the near future. As a sequel to the first Sausage Party movie, the miniseries did a decent job of expanding the food lore by drawing real-world allusions. There are a number of ways to explore the narrative further, which includes key plot points not only from the recently concluded series but from the original movie as well.

In the final moments of the season finale of Sausage Party: Foodtopia, Frank appeals to the better judgment of foodkind by asking them to honor Brenda’s memories by abolishing teeth or any form of currency.

Seth Rogen's divisive film Sausage Party now has a sequel, a TV series titled Sausage Party: Foodtopia, streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Sausage Party made $141.3 million on a $19 million budget, sparking controversy with its raunchy humor and Pixar-quality animation. Fans of the original movie can expect the same type of humor and animation in Foodtopia, with many returning cast members and a post-revolution storyline.

Seth Rogen has made a lot of movies throughout his time in Hollywood, but one of his most divisive comedy movies has just gotten a sequel, eight years after its original release in 2016. Seth Rogen has had a prolific career in film and TV, with him being most well-known for his live-action comedy movies like Pineapple Express and This Is The End. However, Seth Rogen has also had a prolific voice acting career, with his most well-known voice role being in this infamously controversial movie.

Foodtopia expands on the world of Sausage Party with dark humor and stylized animation, bringing back original cast members. Creator Seth Rogen is excited to explore the freedom and worldbuilding of a serialized television series for Sausage Party. Stars Kristen Wiig and Sam Richardson share their excitement about joining the Foodtopia spinoff and their characters' lack of evolution.

Sausage Party: Foodtopia is set after the events of Sausage Party, with the food having learned the truth about the Great Beyond. Following this revolution, they are attempting to establish a safe haven for themselves and the other food, which they dub Foodtopia. Foodtopia would be a place where all food could be safe to exist without the fear of humanity devouring them.

The food is here to rule again as the Sausage Party franchise returns, this time with an eight-episode miniseries titled Sausage Party: Foodtopia. The continuation series premieres eight years after the release of Sausage Party, which saw the food overthrow the tyrannical human customers from Shopwell’s department store under the leadership of sausage duo Frank and Barry and hotdog bun Brenda. As the sequel miniseries, Sausage Party: Foodtopia focuses on the world-building of the titular food world, drawing parallels to human civilization and social structure. The comedic element feels much more restrained in this installment; instead, the tone feels much more grim and serious than its predecessor. It should be mentioned that, despite following the aftermath of the first movie, the series doesn’t address the dimension-hopping that was teased in the finale of the previous season and instead builds on its own separate storyline.

Why Did...

The animated "Sausage Party" was not only one of the funniest movies of 2016, but it was easily one of the most graphic comedies that has ever hit the big screen. Culminating in an all-out war between sentient food and humans, the movie ends with a celebratory orgy with groceries of all kinds just going to town on each other in every imaginable way. If they were human, it would be a porno movie, but it's ever so slightly more innocent when it's everyday food having all kinds of sex. But any modicum of innocence there might be goes completely out of the window in the recently released Prime Video animated series "Sausage Party: Foodtopia."

While the series has the gnarly violence and graphic sexual acts that made the "Sausage Party" so gross and funny, "Foodtopia" takes things to another level. Early on in the series, the foods take a human...

Of all the entertainment franchises that bookend America’s twin pre-Trump eras, “Sausage Party” may be the strangest. When the original film was released in the summer of 2016, the culture was still throwing cash at the alternately shocking and sweet shenanigans of Seth Rogen’s budding bro-euvre. Sandwiched neatly between “Neighbors” (a good movie) and “Neighbors 2” (a great film), the R-rated animated comedy about anthropomorphized edibles fighting to escape their deep-fried fates felt like an innocent indulgence; a bawdy comedy of the “I can’t believe this really exists” variety that was made all the more endearing by its crude jokes and cruder animation. Plus, seeded among the mountain of puns and literal food-fucking was a religious allegory that gave the big-screen adventure enough of an existential piquancy to keep it from tasting like total junk food. (IndieWire’s David Ehrlich described it as “a feature-length Sunday school lesson for budding atheists.

Eight years after the release of Sausage Party, Seth Rogen is revisiting the world of talking food with new series Sausage Party: Foodtopia.

The show follows up the war against humans that took place in the film, as hot dog Frank (voiced by Rogen, who is also an executive producer) and his grocery store friends establish a safe haven that quickly goes awry. Kristen Wiig, Michael Cera, David Krumholtz and Edward Norton reprise their voice roles, with Will Forte, Natasha Rothwell, Sam Richardson and Yassir Lester among the new additions.

“We always hoped to do more, honestly,” Rogen told The Hollywood Reporter at the Los Angeles premiere on Wednesday. “We kept thinking about it, we kept making jokes about it; it was a thing we kind of never stopped talking about and never stopped enjoying the idea of.”

Of opting to do a follow-up series rather than a sequel film,...

Do young people remember “Sausage Party”? The movie about the hot dog that really wanted to find his place in a bun? While it may not feel that old to viewers of a certain age, the comedy about sentient food discovering the truth about what happens when they leave the grocery store is already eight years old, a lifetime in pop culture. And there are elements of it that feel even older, a product of a pre-covid time when comedies aimed more directly at adults were more common.

If you saw the 2016 animated comedy “Sausage Party,” then you know that this smorgasbord is not for the faint at heart.

If Pixar’s tendency to emoting any inanimate object seems wild to you, wait till you get to see how the craziness can truly be amplified as the trio of Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Jonah Hill make the bonkers decision to not only personify but even sexualize foods in their outlandish R-rated animated movie, Sausage Party (2016), to make some pretty on-point commentary about real-world situations. Even though the movie benefits from all the perversion and scathing satire that acts as a key hook to draw in viewers, the solid narrative foundation is what allows the movie to stand on its own.

For an animated R-rated venture, Sausage Party was quite successful, and albeit after a significant time gap, an eight-episode sequel miniseries, Sausage Party: Foodtopia, is going to premiere later this week. To catch up with the events of the original movie, which will be followed up in the series,...

Exclusive: Jill Kargman (Odd Mom Out), Justin Bartha (The Hangover), David Krumholtz (Oppenheimer) and Christine Taylor (Search Party) have been set to topline Miracle on 74th Street, an indie comedy from director Rachel Israel (The Floaters), which has wrapped production.

Others in the cast include Laura Bell Bundy, Eugene Cordero, Jessica Capshaw, Clara Wong, Jason Biggs, Jenny Mollen, Sol Miranda, Olli Haaskivi, Nathan Lee Graham, and Dan Hedaya. Then, there’s Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow, who will appear in cameos.

Written by Kargman, Carol Hartsell, and Sean Crespo, Miracle on 74th Street follows renowned influencer Dzanielle as she navigates fake friends among the black card-swiping, Ozempic-sharting, workout-addicted Upper East Siders. In her comedic quest for a million followers, she finds her first real new friend and her true self.

Producers on the film include Tiny Office Productions’ Sj Allocco-St. Germain and Arielle Haller-Silverstone, Akward Productions’ Mandy Ward, and Steven Ast.

The 2024 animated comedy Sausage Party took viewers by surprise with its audacious premise: a secret world where the food in our grocery stores lives, breathes, and has relationships, all while anxiously awaiting the day they’ll be “chosen” and leave the store. Of course, the sausages, bread, and other foods quickly discover that getting chosen means facing a grisly fate rather than paradise. The film was a bona fide hit, using humor both raunchy and clever to skewer society’s values and mores.

Fast forward a few years, and this unlikeliest of franchises has gotten another seat at the table in the form of Amazon Prime’s new series Sausage Party: Foodtopia. Picking up where the movie left off, it brings back the same starry voice cast as our food friends try to form a functioning society in the aftermath of their grocery store revolution. It’s anarchy, puns, and...

Sausage Party: Foodtopia – Amazon’s Animated Series Premieres July 11...

Say what you will about Sausage Party, but if you’ve ever wanted to watch a piece of anthropomorphic food call another piece of anthropomorphic food the c-word, or see the denizens of a supermarket aisle engaged in a protracted, graphic orgy, the animated hit is an irreplaceable part of the cinematic canon, putting the “whore” in “hors d’oeuvres,” as it were.

I’m not sure if even the most devoted of Sausage Party fans would say that the comedy had enough material to fill its 88-minute running time (the aforementioned orgy takes up roughly the last third of the film, or maybe it just feels like it does). But are there between 5 and 10 good and clever minutes? Yes, I would argue with some trepidation lest somebody come at me with a stopwatch, there are.

With similar trepidation, I’m prepared to say that there are between 5 and 10 good...

Warning: Contains spoilers for the 2016 feature film Sausage Party.

There’s a pop-culture trope all of us have seen at least once: A high school English teacher wants to get a rough or rowdy class on their side, so when it’s time to teach poetry, they recite it to a hip-hop beat. (Doing so while seated backwards on their chair: optional but highly recommended.) I wonder if the creators of Sausage Party: Foodtopia had this trope in mind while developing this show; it can feel like it’s for all the teachers of civics and American history who wished they could sneak their students Howard Zinn inside some cartoon pornography.

What we must now term the Sausage Party franchise began with the 2016 feature film. At a supermarket called Shopwell’s, the greatest dream of all the anthropomorphic foods is to be “chosen” (purchased) by a “god” (human customer) and...
