BRIC TV Premieres The United Space of America, First-Ever Animated Series Produced By The Network
The BRIC TV production is a witty satire on current events in America set against a wacky sci-fi backdrop.
BRIC, a leading arts and media institution anchored in Downtown Brooklyn whose work spans contemporary visual and performing arts, media, and civic action, announced today the premiere of The United Space Of America, a six-part mixed media web series that will air on BRIC TV beginning Tuesday, Nov. 16th, 2021.
Set around the time of the 2020 Presidential election, The United Space Of America blends social commentary and current events with dark, witty satire – all set against a wacky, intergalactic sci-fi backdrop. The production is BRIC TV’s first-ever animated series and stars William D. Caballero and Elaine Del Valle. This dynamic Creator/Producer duo previously worked together to bring “Gran’pa Know Best” to HBO Latino. Del Valle is also currently guest-starring on the new ABC series Queens.
The show follows Paco Del Pluto and Cornelius Cosmosis – two elderly astronauts from Brooklyn who have been adrift in space for over 30 years – as they finally make contact with Earth. Horrified by the current state of American affairs, the duo refuses to go back to a world they no longer understand, and instead decide to explore the galaxy to find a more enlightened alien civilization to live with. As the two come into contact with various quirky intergalactic societies, they discover one painful truth: the same political and social problems plaguing America today are abundant throughout the cosmos.
