Canadian Animated Rock Comedy ‘Gone To Hell’ Sets October Debut
Canada’s Banger Films Tunes Up Animated Rock Comedy ‘Gone To Hell’ · deadline.com

“Gone To Hell” is a cartoon about a famous rock band.

During a concert, the band is crushed by its own stage mascot.

Their bodies are still alive on Earth, so they are not truly dead.

This creates a special rule called the Coma Clause.

The rule lets them stay connected to Hell while they are in comas.

The band must get to the gates of Hell before their record label stops their life support.

Hell is shown as a strange place filled with unusual, self-centered people.

The eight-episode series premieres on October 30.

Banger Films produced the show with support from several Canadian funding organizations.

Quotes

Craig Mailman

Co-creator and producer of Gone to Hell

“Gone To Hell started with this very simple idea of a rock band trying to escape Hell, but the more we developed it, the more it became a story about people who are never quite satisfied with what they have. It gave us a really funny foundation for the characters, but also a world that can keep getting bigger and stranger.”

“We created these hilarious characters, then we literally made Hell. The world is made up of miniature sets that I made and they became such an important part of the identity of the show. There’s an imperfection to it that makes this strange world feel real. The opposite of AI slop.”
