Shitheads will be fashioned as an

adult targeted animated sitcom series.

Similar shows would be south park, the simpsons, family guy, bojack horseman, & beavis and butthead

the goal For the first season

is to start with 8 episodes

The first season of the show will establish the characters and the world to the audience, but also the production and animation and writing team. Ideally, I would like to start with an 8-Episode first season, which would then be expanded to 12-Episodes in subsequent seasons.

With standard network animated shows budgeting around $1.2- $1.5 Million per episode to produce, that will likely be around our eventual target budget. For Season 1, we could potentially start off at around $500,000 per episode by saving some costs using motion capture and AI to help with the animation.

The ultimate goal with the animation team is also to keep them entirely in the United States and avoid out sourcing the labor to Asian countries. We can build a team in the USA that can animate using the help of some new AI tools available to get better results for the roughly the same costs as the Korean-drawn television shows like Simpsons and Family Guy.

Estimated Budgetary Breakdown

Like The Simpsons and Family Guy before it, the goal is to hook the viewer with an extremely strong main character - and then expand out to explore the side characters in the subsequent seasons. Each season will have an overall story-arc but the episodes are meant to be self-contained and can be enjoyed without the context of the over arching storyline, meaning a viewer can jump in any episode and enjoy the plot without having to catch up on everything that’s going on.
