A Golden Axe animated series has been greenlit at Comedy Central, Variety has learned.

Based on the beloved Sega games of the same name, the show hails from co-creators Mike McMahan and Joe Chandler. Matthew Rhys (The Americans, Perry Mason), Danny Pudi (Community, Mythic Quest), Lisa Gilroy (Jury Duty, Interior Chinatown), Liam McIntyre (Spartacus, The Flash), and Carl Tart (Grand Crew, Star Trek: Lower Decks) will lead the voice cast.

Comedy Central has ordered 10 episodes. The official description of the series states the show follows veteran warriors Ax Battler (McIntyre), Tyris Flare (Gilroy), and Gilius Thunderhead (Rhys) as they once again battle to save Yuria from the evil giant Death Adder who just wont seem to stay dead. Fortunately, this time they have the inexperienced and underprepared Hampton Squib (Pudi) on their side.

Yeah, that's about like Nickelodeon. They only have a half a dozen shows.

Why do I feel like this isn't even going to be as "funny" as dorkly bits?

The idea of a Golden Axe TV show sounds good, but when I read the synopsis, it sounds like basura.

At least Uncle From Another World was fun to watch and referenced Sega games. Even though it got super horny at the end.

Animated Golden Axe comedy from the Star Trek team, starring Abed off of Community is not something I had on my Bingo card.

I don't think it was on anyone's bingo card, so you're in good company.

I like Lower Decks enough that I'll give this a watch but of all things Golden Axe is a weird choice for a property to base a show off of in 2024.

What the fuck

My best guess to this existing is that with the Sonic movies being successful Sega trusts Paramount with more of their IPs. They're also making a new Golden Axe game with the OG trio so maybe it ties into that. I don't know.
