Peacock Cancels Animated Series In the Know

Peacock has officially canceled 'In the Know,' its first venture into adult animation, following the completion of its six-episode season that premiered on January 25, 2024. The series, co-created by Mike Judge, Zach Woods, and Brandon Gardner, parodied public radio through the character Lauren Caspian, who interviewed various celebrity guests including Kaia Gerber and Mike Tyson. Despite hopes for a second season, the show will not be returning, leaving the streaming service to explore other animated projects in the future. The voice cast featured notable actors like Woods, Judge, and Caitlin Reilly, but the series ultimately failed to secure a wider audience. 'In the Know' aimed to blend stop-motion animation with live interviews, a creative approach that did not resonate as expected. The cancellation signifies Peacock's ongoing challenges in establishing a foothold in the competitive adult animation landscape.
