The absurdist comedy about a team of incompetent paranormal investigators premieres today, August 29, on the adult animated comedy channel.
Adult animated comedy FAST channel Animation+ has some new sleuths on the case… they’ve acquired the Worldwide FAST rights to Psi Cops, the absurdist cult comedy from Adult Swim. The series begins streaming on the channel today, August 29th.
The show is now available across major FAST platforms including Samsung TV Plus, The Roku Channel, Vizio WatchFree+, Hisense Vidaa, and Plex.
Created by and starring Bart Batchelor and Chris Nielsen, Psi Cops is a deadpan, paranormal workplace comedy following Al and Damon, two low-level government agents investigating bizarre supernatural occurrences with complete incompetence. The series originally premiered on Adult Swim Canada and has since earned a 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, becoming a cult favorite for fans of surreal, character-driven animation.

Animation+ produced a trailer…
Batchelor and Nielsen serve as executive producers, alongside Robert Kirkman (Invincible, The Walking Dead) Chris Ferguson (Little Fish), Brian Kavanaugh-Jones (The Bikeriders), David Alpert (Invincible, The Walking Dead), and Catherine Winder (Invincible, Star Wars: The Clone Wars). The series was commissioned by Corus Entertainment, produced by Wind Sun Sky Entertainment and Oddfellows Labs, and is distributed by Skybound Galactic, a division of Skybound Entertainment.
“Psi Cops is brilliantly absurd and exactly the type of series we built Animation+ to showcase,” said Niall Madden, Animation+’s Head of Content and Programming. “We're really thrilled to introduce it to viewers who might never have discovered it otherwise.”
