King of the Hill creators Greg Daniels and Mike Judge reteam for their own animation company

The Hollywood Reporter

Through Bandera Entertainment, Daniels and Judge want to expand the animation genre to include as many sub-genres as live-action fare. Their projects include the recently announced “adult animation dark comedy procedural” Bad Crimes, starring Nicole Byer and Lauren Lapkus, plus a children’s show from Sacha Baron Cohen and Alison Bechdel’s Dykes to Watch Out For. “We were very excited to go into different tones and different styles and try to expand the animation art form,” Daniels tells The Hollywood Reporter. “We’re in a golden age for content, right? That’s animation, too. That was one of the things we were talking about in founding the company: “Let’s push animation into all these different genres.” “Mostly what Bandera is doing is trying to get us in more of a supervisory goal; that’s what we’ve been really concentrating on: using our taste and the people we’ve worked with and trying to help other people achieve their visions that we think are cool,” Daniels says. Judge adds: “There’s one show that I might be a co-creator of but the rest, it’s mentoring other people and getting people together and being a studio in that regard.”
