IMDb has announced its first-ever scripted series, an animated series, titled, “You’re Not A Monster.”
“You’re Not a Monster” is an original comedy series that demonstrates that even classic movie monsters have emotional issues – because the only thing worse than being undead is being unloved. Returning to the “therapist’s chair” for the first time since “Frasier,” Kelsey Grammer voices a former psychiatrist-turned-vampire in the series, who mentors his great-great grandson “Max” (Eric Stonestreet), a therapist who has inherited his practice. In each four to five minute episode, Max treats classic monsters including Frankenstein’s Monster, The Invisible Man and Medusa as they seek desperately needed therapeutic help. Rounding out the series cast is Aparna Nancherla as a demon receptionist, Ellie Kemper as a therapist who thinks Max is imagining everything. Peter Grosz, Langston Kerman, Joel Kim Booster, Patton Oswalt, Adam Pally, Amber Ruffin, Amy Sedaris and Milana Vayntrub will all voice other monsters featured in the series.
IMDb will share a sneak peek of the 10-episode, short-form series when its trailer premiers on the IMDboat at San Diego Comic-Con later this month. Show creators and cast members including Grammer and Nancherla will also participate in an exclusive interview with host Kevin Smith on the IMDboat at San Diego Comic-Con on July 20.
Full episodes of “You’re Not A Monster” will premiere this fall at www.imdb.com/monster, on the IMDb TV free streaming video channel, and on the IMDb iOS and Android apps.
