Makkos outlined the strategy behind the Max Originals adult animation slate, highlighting what sets the platform apart in the adult animation space. "The series that we create at Max are art and voice driven, with character and comedy coming before anything else," said Makkos. "We're always looking for hard comedy with heart and edge, diverse and inclusive shows with underlying thematic resonance, and character design that showcases the hand of the artist. I am so excited to share these incredible series with the world, and continue to show why Max is a great home for adult animation."

Ten Year Old Tom (Debuts June 29) - Season 2 Official Trailer

This series follows the misadventures of an average kid as he contends with questionable guidance from the well-meaning grownups around him. Being a kid is hard enough for Tom, but when bad influences seem to lurk around every corner - from litigious parents and drug dealing bus drivers to school administrators who want to sleep with his mom - it's downright impossible. While the adults in Tom's life certainly mean well, they just can't manage to lead by example.

Voices include Steve Dildarian, Jennifer Coolidge, John Malkovich, Gillian Jacobs, Edi Patterson, Byron Bowers, and more, with David Duchovny returning as a guest star along with many others.

Executive Producers: Steve Dildarian ("The Life and Times of Tim"), Marty Adelstein ("One Piece"), and Becky Clements ("Physical") for Tomorrow Studios, and Nick Weidenfeld for Work Friends.

Studio/Prod Co: Work Friends - a JV between Nick Weidenfeld ("The Boondocks," "Rick & Morty") and Tomorrow Studios. The animation is produced at ShadowMachine. ITV Studios handles international distribution.

Young Love (Debuts this Fall) - First Look Image

"Young Love" expands on the animated short "Hair Love," which centered around the relationship between an African American father, his daughter Zuri, and the most daunting task a father could ever come across - doing his daughter's hair for the first time. Filled with comedy and heart, the all-new Max Original animated series Young Love is an honest look into the world of the Young family - including millennial parents Stephen and Angela, their daughter Zuri and her pet cat Rocky - as they juggle their careers, marriage, parenthood, social issues and multi-generational dynamics, all while striving to make a better life for themselves.

Voices include Scott "Kid Cudi" Mescudi, Issa Rae, Loretta Devine, Harry Lennix, Tamar Braxton and Brooke Conaway.
