Grand Theft Auto Creator Unveils New Netflix Series

A new universe of comedy is in the works from a surprising source: one of the creators of the blockbuster video game series Grand Theft Auto. Dan Houser, with writing partner Lazlow Jones, will be launching the Absurdaverse, an interlinked universe of animated satire. A solid lineup of comedic talent will lend their voices to the project. The Absurdaverse, so far, will be composed of a series of animated shorts, all taking place in the same fictional universe, an ongoing animated series, and an open-world video game akin to the Grand Theft Auto series; the latter two are in development.
