Big Shot Pictures Develops Anime-Style Series Starring IShowSpeed

The venture-backed studio plans to shop the Matt Owens–written project to buyers soon.

Overview

  • Variety and The Hollywood Reporter said Wednesday that Big Shot is developing a show with IShowSpeed voicing an animated version of himself.
  • Matt Owens, who helped run Netflix’s One Piece for its first two seasons, will write and produce, with Brian Robbins and filmmaker Harmony Korine also producing.
  • Plot and release details remain under wraps, with outlets describing the project as anime-style rather than a Japan-made production.
  • Big Shot plans to take the package to market in the coming months, and the company holds a first-look theatrical deal with Sony Pictures.
  • IShowSpeed has more than 52 million YouTube subscribers and back-to-back Streamer of the Year wins, signaling strong built-in reach for the series.
