HBO Max greenlights adult animated series Ten Year Old Tom from The Life and Times of Tim creator

Deadline

Steve Dildarian, whose The Life and Times of Tim aired on HBO for three seasons from 2008 to 2012, is teaming with Adult Swim animation veteran Nick Weidenfeld on 10-Year-Old-Tom. The animated series follows Tom, "who grapples with being corrupted by the grownups around him each day just by leaving his house," per Deadline. "He must deal with bad influences including litigious parents, drug dealing bus drivers and band teachers who want to sleep with his mom.  If he sets up a lemonade stand, he gets sued for gross negligence. If he plays baseball, he is encouraged to dabble with steroids. And if he visits the school nurse, he is introduced to the world of insurance fraud. The grownups in Tom’s life all mean well, but somehow just can’t manage to lead by example."
