Kimia Behpoornia and Kimiko Glenn are set to star in a new series of digital animated shorts from PBS Kids, titled “City Island.” The series comes from creator and executive producer Aaron Augenblick of Augenblick Studios.
The series, which premieres Dec. 26, will also feature guest appearances from Amy Schumer, Julio Torres, James Adomian, Debi Mazar and more. Targeted toward early elementary school children, “City Island” follows a thriving metropolis with local organizations, government institutions, and a diverse citizenry, where every car, tree and building is a fun character with its own name, voice, and distinctive personality.
“After years of making cartoons, ‘City Island’ is my dream project. It’s a love letter to all my favorite kids’ shows. Best of all, ‘City Island’ is a world where we can explore dynamic visuals and important themes. Working with PBS Kids has been an extremely rewarding process,” said Augenblick in a statement.

It isn’t often we get an R-rated movie with such a high-profile cast (read: Deadpool) let alone an R-rated and hand-drawn animation featuring a host of funny and talented actors. The Adventures Of Drunky is about to fix the latter though, and it’s got a cracking cast to help Aaron Augenblick’s cheeky feature hit the ground running.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Seven Psychopaths star Sam Rockwell, Steve Coogan and the award-winning Jeffrey Tambor (Transparent) will lend their vocal chords to Augenblick’s riotous tale. Out of luck and out of love, it’s Rockwell’s titular barfly who finds himself caught up between God and Satan, and the two celestial beings strike a bet to push his character through heaven and hell – quite literally, in fact – to rescue the woman he holds nearest and dearest (Nina Arianda).
