Syfy is getting into animation in a big way. Deadline reports the network has ordered a second season of Hell Den as well as several new series, including Dr. Havoc’s Diary and Wild Life.
Other new animated series include Plutonians and Psycho Psalms, “a stop motion dark comedy following 1940s D-List cartoon character Timecrow and his misfit costars.” The new shows will air on Syfy’s late-night animation block, TZGZ.
