Around this time last year, I mentioned to some of you that I was planning to pull together the cash to kickstart an animated sitcom pilot for Jazz Cow in 2023. But you know what? After crunching the numbers, pushing that plan to 2024 makes more sense, which isn't that far away! We won't back down.
You can read more about the project here:
I'll post lots about the characters, story and world of Jazz Cow. But let me tell you about the personal story: over 20 years ago (and I still look 20, by the way), Jazz Cow was born in a student house with John, Chris, Jon, Sim, and their invisible dog jabbering nonsense until this weird cow came to life. Long story short, we made a little film and pitched the series to Fox Kids, but once they rebranded as Jetix, they decided it wasn't their cup of tea.
The project then sat at the bottom of an old dusty drawer, but every now and then, it would crawl out and undergo a makeover. In its latest version, we roped in sitcom writer James Cary, who helped it evolve into a real grown-up comedy; we can't wait to show you more. We shopped it around, but apparently, streaming services are all about existing IP.
So much of what we see on TV now is based on a book, game or comic or is a reboot of an old franchise. This will be independent and our own thing and a brand new, unique world.
The story can't just stop there; that's not how stories work! There has to be some resolution, right? Well, buckle up, 'cause we'll find out in 2024!
For this thing to really take off, we're counting on your help, so share it with anyone you think could be into it. I might go a bit quiet until after 2023 wraps up, so in case I don't bug you before, have an awesome Christmas and New Year!

This needs to happen! It's only grown more relevant with time too!
Looking at who is involved, this could be a winner! Looking forward to seeing how it develops!
