Adult Swim Announces 'My Two Cars'

Adult Swim has been THE destination for adult animated comedy for more than two decades now. From Aqua Teen Hunger Force and The Venture Bros. to Rick and Morty and Common Side Effects, the network has been home to some of the most popular shows. Now, a new series has been announced to be joining their line-up.

My Two Cars is "the only show brave enough to explore what happens when a man owns two cars and the joys and frustrations that come with it." The animated quarter-hour comedy comes from co-creators Joe Pera (Joe Pera Talks With You) and Dan Licata (Saturday Night Live), and follows a man who must grapple with a daily dilemma: which of his beloved vehicles to choose.

The official synopsis:

Imagine you are lucky enough to own both a PT Cruiser and a Mini-Cooper. Your day-to-day life would be insane! But also hard hard. Keith Asshole does not have to imagine this, and in each episode he has to make the difficult decision which one to drive.

The character of Keith Asshole (yes, that's his name), an Ohian navigating the show's central daily decision, is played by Licata.

 “Few shows (and fewer show runners) are courageous enough to explore life’s biggest questions,” said Michael Ouweleen, president, Adult Swim. “But Dan and Joe are more than brave enough to confront head-on the perplexity of which car to drive today.” 

“It's a simple premise with good characters and great cars,” said Licata and Pera. “We appreciate Adult Swim allowing us to see such a dumb idea through into an entire season.”

My Two Cars is the second Adult Swim series for Joe Pera. The live-action series Joe Pera Talks With You ran for three seasons on the Network. This is his first animated series. Licata is also returning to Adult Swim, after writing for Pera's previous series and Teenage Euthanasia.

My Two Cars is animated by Green Street Pictures, producers of the acclaimed Common Side Effects and sci-fi action series Scavenger's Reign.

Presumably, the series will also stream on HBO Max. No release date or window, or further casting details have been announced at this time.
