A new Netflix series was announced called My Dad The Bounty Hunter. It's created by Everett Downing (director of Hair Love) and Patrick Harpin (a Sony storyboard artist, but he's also written for Clarence). The premise is as follows:

"Per the show’s official logline, “My Dad the Bounty Hunter” is an action-comedy show that “follows the toughest bounty hunter in all the galaxy, a man with razor-sharp skills but also a secret – his family on Earth has no idea what he does for a living. So when his two kids accidentally hitch a ride into outer space and crash his latest mission, they discover that their average Dad’s job is anything but boring. Dodging dangerous aliens and laser fights galore, this family bonding time goes to the extreme. Wait until mom finds out…”

The show stars Russell Hornsby, Yvonne Orji, Priah Ferguson, Yvette Nicole Brown, Je Cobi Swain, Leslie Uggams, Rob Riggle, and Jim Rash.

The France-based Dwarf Animation Studios will be handling the series' animation production. Currently, they're also working on the upcoming Disney/Pixar's Monsters at Work series for Disney+.

He's also apparently the husband of Jenny Calabro (she worked with him on the two shows).

When I first saw the title, I thought it was some weird spinoff/sequel of My Dad the Rock Star. But regardless, this one sounds really fun and interesting. Always up for some more outer-space cartoons featuring spaceships, aliens, robots, and whatnot.

The 10 episode first season has dropped today! As shown above, you can watch the first episode on YouTube.

Meanwhile, series creators Patrick Harpin And Everett Downing shared some insights with Cartoon Brew on how they pitched the series to Netflix.

Originally Downing and Harpin pitched Netflix with some early screenplays for the show, but it wasn’t until they put together a detailed animatic that My Dad the Bounty Hunter earned a series commission. That animatic, boarded by story artist Gustavo (“Goose”) Cosío, was then used to as the basis for a three-minute cold-open at the beginning of the show’s first episode. Both the original animatic (with rough sound and music) and the final version of the scene are linked below, and their similarities are striking.
