Today, Prime Video announced a multi-title licensing deal with Glitch Productions that brings their creator-led animated web series to the streaming service. The deal will introduce new audiences to Glitch’s indie animation universe, starting with sci-fi horror comedy Murder Drones. The fan-favorite series has garnered over 270 million views on YouTube, offering a distinctive blend of humor, horror and survival in a frozen post-apocalyptic world with hormonal (and sometimes murderous) robots. All eight episodes are available to watch on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
“Our mission has always been to creatively and systemically change the animation industry for the better. As part of this higher vision, we’ve partnered with Prime Video, who have agreed to support us and our future shows in a multi-title licensing deal. What this means is, we keep operating independently, doing what we’re doing, and Prime Video will give us the support necessary to do more for indie animation and creators than we could have previously” said Glitch Productions founders, Kevin and Luke Lerdwichagul. “We will continue to keep full creative control over our series, and Glitch Original series will always continue to be released on YouTube.”
Murder Drones was created, directed and written by Liam Vickers. The series is produced by Glitch Productions.
