The 26 episode series follows two teenage wannabe warrior heroes Charlie and Pierce and spirited ghost girl Que master the skills they need to replace ageing monster-slayer Old Man Helsing, by doing his supernatural chores.
They’re about to get mind-blowingly, toe-curlingly cool and a whole lot stranger than any teenage brain can imagine. Part-paranormal comedy and part-adventure, The Strange Chores draws from much-loved genres to create a multiverse of mind-boggling new stories.
The Strange Chores is produced by Colin South (Trip For Biscuits, The Flamin’ Thongs) from Media World Pictures and Charlie Aspinwall (Doodles, #7 Days Later) from Ludo Studio; written by Ludo Studio’s showrunner Daley Pearson (Doodles, #7 Days Later, The Strange Calls); with animation direction by Scott Vanden Bosch (Dogstar, Dogstar: Christmas in Space).
It received funding support from Screen Australia in association with Film Victoria and Screen Queensland. International distribution will be handled by Boat Rocker Rights from Toronto, Canada.
The Strange Chores is expected to broadcast on ABC ME in 2019.
