Amazon Preps Launch of Danger & Eggs in U.S., U.K.

The Amazon original animated comedy Danger & Eggs, created by Yo Gabba Gabba!‘s Mike Owens and Shadi Petosky, is due to debut on Prime Video in the U.S. and U.K. later this month.

Danger & Eggs follows the adventures of the daughter of a stunt daredevil and a giant talking egg. The 13-episode series features the voices of comedians Aidy Bryant (SNL) and Eric Knobel (Huge Theater) alongside such guest voice talent as Weird Al, Lori Petty, Charlyne Yi and Kate Micucci, to name a few. It will premiere on the streaming service in the U.S. and U.K. on June 30.

Danger & Eggs was part of Amazon’s fall 2015 pilot season. The show’s first episode can be streamed by Prime members on the Amazon Prime Video app for TVs, connected devices including Fire TV, mobile devices and online.

“We are excited to introduce our first animated comedy for children ages 6 to 11 to our customers,” said Tara Sorensen, the head of kids’ programming at Amazon Studios. “We feel incredibly lucky to be working with the caliber of creative talent behind this series.”

“For us, the heart of Danger & Eggs is the friendship between Phillip and D.D. that proves you can face fear and danger and have a blast in the process because you are not alone,” noted Owens.

Petosky stated: “We can’t believe we get to take out our anxiety on a show—putting our inside voices into these characters and seeing if they stay friends.”

“I’ve been passionate about animation my whole life and to produce this series with my animation company fulfills a lifelong goal,” added Chris Hardwick, who is an executive producer on the series. “This show is funny, touching and has incredible design—everything I’ve wanted to make.”
