Summary
- Michael Cusack's new animated series, Dad's House, is coming to Netflix.
- The show is set in suburban Australia and follows a 13-year-old boy.
- Cusack also co-created the recently concluded Smiling Friends series.
Michael Cusack, known for co-creating the absurdist animated series Smiling Friends, is set to debut a new adult animated comedy titled Dad's House on Netflix. The series is executive produced and showrun by Cusack, alongside Dario Russo and David Ashby, who previously collaborated on Danger 5 and Italian Spiderman.
Dad's House is set in Australia and focuses on 13-year-old Sean, who navigates his weekends with his father, Ian, after his parents' divorce. Ian, a single father, endeavors to create meaningful time with his son but often complicates matters. The voice cast includes Cusack, Russo, Ashby, and Felicity Ward. The series hails from Princess Pictures and Bento Box Entertainment.
This announcement follows the recent conclusion of Cusack's Adult Swim series, Smiling Friends, after its third season, a decision made by Cusack and co-creator Zach Hadel due to creative burnout and a sense of accomplishment. Dad's House represents a new venture for Cusack in the realm of adult animation, adding to Netflix's slate of similar programming.
