IMDb has premiered its first-ever animated series, You’re Not a Monster, which shines a light on the daily struggles faced by classic movie monsters. The 10-episode, short-form series debuted its trailer on the IMDboat during Comic-Con International 2019. Episodes are available to view on IMDb.com and the IMDb mobile apps, and to stream in the U.S. on IMDb TV, the IMDb TV app on Fire TV, and the Prime Video app. The show joins other IMDb original series now airing including The IMDb Show, IMDbrief and Casting Calls.
You’re Not a Monster 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 4 to 5-minute episode, Max treats classic monsters including Frankenstein, 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, and Peter Grosz, Langston Kerman, Joel Kim Booster, Patton Oswalt, Adam Pally, Amber Ruffin, Amy Sedaris and Milana Vayntrub as hideous monsters.
The comedy series is created and written by 4-time Emmy-winner Frank Lesser (The Colbert Report) and Lily Stuart Streiff serves as Animation Director. You’re Not a Monster is produced for IMDb by Bold Soul Studios, Grammnet and Ranker in Los Angeles, California.
Viewers can catch the first 4 episodes of You’re Not a Monster now. The remaining 6 episodes will be available to stream on October 17. Find it on IMDb here!
