The series, which follows a pre-teen who lives on the open road with his retired vampire parents, will launch on the next-gen Web3 and AI-powered platform, allowing the creators full ownership and control over the IP.
We Ghosted Media, founded by Jaclynn Demas (Peg + Cat) and Chris Jammal (Bob’s Burgers), has teamed with Lamina1 to develop and launch the animated comedy series Owen Nowhere, which will debut on the next-generation Web3 and AI-powered platform, which enables full ownership and IP control, from incubation to distribution.
“We are thrilled to partner with Lamina1 – enabling us to lead the charge in encouraging creators to lean into this next-gen technology to maintain ownership over the work we give so much of ourselves to create,” said Jammal.
“We are witnessing a seismic shift in the industry as more and more Emmy award-winning creators opt out of the traditional studio system and instead seek opportunities to share their IP directly with consumers,” said Lamina1 CEO Rebecca Barkin. “Lamina1 facilitating the launch of Owen Nowhere is further indication that creator giants like Demas and Jammal are exploring alternatives to protect and control their IP long-term.”
Owen Nowhere follows Owen B. Gloom, a pre-teen aspiring influencer who lives on the open road with his retired vampire parents Vlad and Glad Gloom.
“Lamina1 is redefining the content industry, giving creators the power to break free from outdated models and take control of their work,” said Demas. “With Owen Nowhere, we’re not just launching a show—we’re reshaping how animated storytelling connects with audiences. This is about ownership, sustainability, and a direct connection with fans who fuel our creative vision.”
Through Lamina1’s technology, Owen Nowhere fans will experience a new world of storytelling, with the ability to interact with and participate in the character's evolution directly. The project will also feature exclusive behind-the-scenes content, episodes, collectible digital assets, and community-driven experiences.
“Lamina1 is built to empower creators with true autonomy — enabling them to own not just their IP, but also their audience, their distribution, and their revenue streams,” said Geraldine Pamphile, Chief Operating & Business Officer of Lamina1. “With Owen Nowhere, We Ghosted Media is redefining how animation reaches and engages fans. This partnership is a testament to the future of content: creator-led, community-driven, and powered by Lamina1."
Owen Nowhere is set to debut shortly after the upcoming launch of Neal Stephenson's Artefact, a narrative, fan-driven digital storyworld launching in collaboration with Weta Workshop later this year.
