Happy Wheels is coming to the small screen. Deadline reports go90 is launching an animated series based on the popular video game.
From Machinima and Bunim/Murray Productions, the dark comedy takes place in a seemingly idyllic town overrun by horrific violence. The video game, which debuted in 2010, has been downloaded more than a billion times.
Happy Wheels premieres on November 15th on the digital platform.
From Deadline:
Welcome to Happy Wheels, the most dangerous community in the world. Early on, all seems tranquil and on the up-and-up: a dad teaching his boy to ride a bike, picnickers enjoying an adult beverage, a man enjoying a snack on a park bench. But things are about to get ugly — fast. That kid on the bicycle? Spike fodder. Other folks? Turned to red goo by falling speakers, helpful cops, exploding bounce houses, even the town’s welcome sign. Sense a pattern here?
Suffice it so say, Happy Wheels people get mangled in horrific ways. In an effort to reduce the bloodshed, five locals form a safety committee, with predictably epic-fail results. Voices are provided by a clutch of social media/online personalities, including three Minecraft YouTubers (ask your kids) and the co-hosts of Machinima’s ETC.”
