Scriptwriting for 'MEAT: The Animated Series'

  • Daniel Humphry
For most of 2017 I worked with producer James Boyle and artist Daniel Bayliss (Boom Studios) on MEAT: a short-run animation show aimed at mature audiences.
The show takes place in a world where professional wrestling is the biggest sport on the planet and focusses on Meat, a broken-down former World Champion who must team with an unlikely teenage partner to battle steroid addiction, crooked promoters and an array of oddball local champions if he is to make it back to the Big Leagues.
With the help of Park Road Pictures our team put together a comprehensive pitch package – including pilot script, first season arc, business plans and audience research – and we're now speaking with studios around the world to create a pilot. Early signs are good, so watch this space!
