Finland-based animation studio Gigglebug Entertainment is launching a new adult-focused label and has already begun developing its first project, Variety can confirm.
Branded In Stitches and led by Gigglebug’s management team, the banner will focus on bold, experimental and offbeat comedy aimed at grown-ups. Contemporary voices as well as artists and designers from Gigglebug’s in-house team will be brought in to pitch adult-oriented concepts and work on projects from the new banner.
The first project from In Stitches, which the company are set to present at Mipcom next month, is titled “Soap.” The 20-episode series is based on an original concept by Gigglebug animator Sasil Leirana and is told from the perspective of a bar of hotel soap called Suds.
“When affairs unravel marriages, a drug deal blows up (literally) or a serial killer repaints the walls red, who is there to clean up the mess? Soap,” reads the synopsis.
