Watch the first trailer for CaptainFall, your new favorite absurdist comedy coming to Netflix:
From Jon Iver Helgaker and Jonas Torgersen, creators of the cult Norwegian comedy series Norsemen, comes Captain Fall, a new animated show for adults about a “gullible” young man who finds himself at the center of a shady smuggling operation. Captain Fall was first announced in 2020 and was given a 20-episode order by the streamer. The 10-episode first season will debut on Netflix next month.
Helgaker and Torgersen had earlier said that Captain Fall was first pitched as a live-action show, but Netflix felt that it would be better suited to the animation medium. They admitted that making the switch from live-action to animation was daunting, and expressed gratitude for the team of experts in the field of cartoons that Netflix surrounded them with. And by the looks of the trailer, they’ve been able to retain the absurdist tone that they’d mastered on Norsemen.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT RELATED: The 25 Best Animated Series For Adults, Ranked The Show's Absurdist Tone Could Be an Acquired Taste The trailer opens with an action scene that involves a bunch of kids being mercilessly hit by tasers, teasing the show’s edgy humor. We then cut to our hero Jonathan Fall, who has just scored the worst grades “in the history of the naval academy.” Described as a “wet-behind-the-ears, yet good-hearted” man, Jonathan doesn't seem too bothered by his terrible grades, and it seems like he's used to being mocked by his family.
The voice cast for the show, due out on July 28, includes Jason Ritter as Jonathan Fall, Christopher Meloni as Agent Steel, Lesley-Ann Brandt as Liza, Anthony Carrigan as Mr. Tyrant, Alejandro Edda as Pedro, Adam Devine as Tanner and Trond Fausa as Nico. You can watch the trailer here, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
