T.J. Miller and Jon Heder will lead a new animated, interactive social comedy based on Sam Bankman-Fried and the implosion of Ftx.

The latest series from Web3 story studio Toonstar FORTUN3 will see comedian and Silicon Valley actor Miller portray a character inspired by Bankman-Fried, the alleged fraudster and founder of cryptocurrency exchange Ftx and the Alameda Research trading firm. Both companies collapsed in 2022 and filed for bankruptcy before its CEO faced more than 12 criminal charges related to fraud and conspiracy.

Heder (Napoleon Dynamite, Monster House) — a partner at Web3 agency Verified Labs — will also voice star alongside Amber Rose, who appears as a recurring guest star.

Toonstar, which is hosting the “Audience is King” San Diego Comic-Con panel on Friday featuring Miller, Heder and company executives, is also set to release an A.I.-powered companion game of the same name alongside the series. In what the company calls an “industry first,...

Jon Heder and T.J. Miller are set to star in a web3 animated series inspired by the collapse of crypto bank Ftx.

Miller (Silicon Valley) has been cast to play a character inspired by Sam Bankman-Fried in workplace comedy Fortun3 loosely inspired by the implosion of Ftx last year. Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) is also joining the series.

Web3 story studio Toonstar is producing and, in what it calls an industry first, will also release an AI-powered companion game in which token holders guide characters through a series of life decisions and moral dilemmas similar to board game The Game of Life.

As the series storyline, the impacts will be felt by corresponding chapters of the companion game. AI will power the development of original characters and shareable digital comic books based on token holders’ gameplay. Players will also be able to earn their characters a role in the animated series.

If you’re craving an inventive and funny community-driven adult animated series with a trippy twist, look no further than Space Junk. The new series arrives from Toonstar, the innovative Web3 story studio that gave birth to the likes of other adult animated endeavors, such as The Gimmicks and House of Chico. Written and created by Dominic Russo (co-creator of Workaholics), and starring Tony Cavalero (sexually charged Keefe on The Righteous Gemstones) and Jon Heder, the series marks a number of firsts.

For starters, and perhaps the thing that may generate plenty of buzz, is that Space Junk is the first animated series to feature a character voiced entirely by AI voice-generated software. Meet the robot, “Wellbecca,” thoroughly unique. The twist? Viewers will be able to interact with the robot throughout the series’ run. The story itself takes a hilarious peek at a very serious dilemma: space junk. That’s right.

Screen Rant is pleased to present an exclusive clip from the upcoming animated series, Space Junk. A comedic take on the knowledge that Earth is orbited by trash, the series revolves around a group of garbage men and women whose job is to clean up the atmosphere. Written by Workaholics co-creator Dominic Russo, it features the voice talent of Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite), Tony Cavalero (Righteous Gemstones), and in what is believed to be an industry first, a completely AI-voiced robot character known as Wellbecca.

Space Junk will be dropping the first episode of the series on their exclusive website this Friday, May 19. In the new adult animated series, the Earth is surrounded by trillions of pieces of human debris, left behind during human ventures into space. Enter the trash collectors of space, "Big Space Junk," whose job it is to clean up humanity's space trash. Learn more in Screen...
