EXCLUSIVE: Peacock has canceled In the Know, its first foray into adult animation that combined stop-motion animation and live-action interviews. The freshman series was from Mike Judge (Beavis and Butt-Head, Silicon Valley), Zach Woods (Silicon Valley, The Office) and Brandon Gardner.
The public radio parody chronicled the making of NPR’s fictional “third most popular host” Lauren Caspian’s radio program, on which he conducts in-depth interviews with guests, including Kaia Gerber, Ken Burns, Finn Wolfhard, Norah Jones, Mike Tyson, Hugh Laurie, Jorge Masvisdal and more.
The voiceover cast included Woods, Judge, Caitlin Reilly, Charlie Bushnell, J. Smith Cameron and Carl Tart. The six-episode season premiered January 25, 2024, two years after Peacock announced that it was following other streamers like Netflix and Paramount+ by making the move into adult animation.
