High on Life is getting an animated series, and one of its stars (not that one) will serve as a producer

Squanch Games’ High on Life will take the form of an animated series, with the voice actor of one of the talking guns serving as producer.

According to Deadline, Curb Your Enthusiasm actor JB Smoove is currently set to produce an animated adaptation of the 2022 comedy shooter High On Life. Apparently, Smoove’s new production company Alternate Side Productions will be working with original developer Squanch Games and Striker Entertainment to produce the series, and while he has not yet officially starred, Deadline has heard that he is very likely to star. Striker Entertainment’s Russel Binder and Mandy Bardisbanian will also serve as executive producers on the series.

Smoove said in a statement: “When Squanch Games initially approached JB Smoove (I like to talk about myself in the third person) to voice a character in their amazing video game High On Life, my first question was, what would my character look like? They told me I would be a fish that shoots arrows…which made total sense to me! As a vegetarian, I feel like fish should have the right to fend for themselves! I mean right?!

“Now that I’m partnering with Squanch Games and Striker Entertainment to bring the hilarious High On Life to series, it feels like it was inevitable! They invited me to join their gaming world, and now I’m helping them enter the world of television! It’s a case of game recognizing game! High on Life is wild, weird, and wonderful, and this series will be all that and more! Get ready to laugh like me in space with some unforgettable characters! We’re ready and ready to go!”

While I could imagine several actors returning to voice their characters, there is one notable actor who is unlikely to return. In 2023, Roiland was reportedly arrested and charged with felony domestic violence and false imprisonment in 2020, a report that subsequently led to further abuse allegations against the actor. This led to his exit from his most famous co-created show, Rick and Morty, as a writer and voice actor, and he also resigned from Squanch Games.
