‘In The Know’ Trailer Reveals Awkward Interviews in Semi-Animated Comedy – The Hollywood Reporter

Peacock has actually introduced the trailer for Aware, the NBCUniversal-backed banner’s very first grown-up computer animation collection.

And, it’s awkward.

The cringe animation comedy from Mike Court (Beavis and Butt-Head) and Greg Daniels ( King of capital) focuses on giggling from unpleasant interviews with online visitors like Hugh Laurie, Tegan and Sara, Mike Tyson and Jonathan Van Ness.

In The Know– co-created by Zach Woods ( Silicon Valley, The Workplace), Brandon Gardner and Court– mixes stop-motion computer animation with live-action interviews of visitors like Kaia Gerber, Ken Burns, Finn Wolfhard, Norah Jones, Nicole Byer, Roxane Gay and Jorge Masvidal.

The semi-animated collection’ job interviewer is Lauren Caspian, “NPR’s third most-popular host,” according to a Peacock summary, a stop-motion creature and intellectual blowhard for life humiliating himself on air in front of real life visitors.

“I’m sexually attracted to ideas. I once got an erection from reading Plato’s The Cave,” Caspian reveals to a confused Van Ness at one factor in the trailer. “Do you have a therapist?” the Queer Eye star replies.

“Hugh Laurie, what should we do about Meghan Markle,” Caspian asks the Veep and Home celebrity throughout one more meeting appearing in the trailer. “I don’t know that any action is required,” a blank-faced Laurie reacts.

And the imaginary television host evokes a “Wow!” from indie pop duo and twin siblings Tegan and Sara when Caspian reveals his sweetheart resembles him and concerns, “Does that make me an honorary twin lesbian?”

Each of the 6 episodes of In The Know from Universal Tv assures a backstage consider exactly how the publication meeting program is made, as Caspian engages with various other madcap NPR personnel– each their very own stop-motion creature.

The collection’ computer animation is done by ShadowMachine ( Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, BoJack Horseman), while the voiceover actors is led by Woods, Court, Caitlin Reilly, Charlie Bushnell, J. Smith-Cameron and Carl Tart.

Aware will certainly debut Jan. 25 on Peacock, with Daniels– that efficiently adjusted the British collection The Workplace for NBC– Dustin Davis Alexander Bulkley and Corey Campodonico sharing the exec manufacturer credit histories.
