J.B. Smoove is developing an animated series based on High On Life

J.B. Smoove, the Emmy-winning actor known for “Curb Your Enthusiasm”, is developing a comedic animated series based on the video game High On Life. The actor, who founded the production company Alternate Side Productions last year, is likely to star.

High On Life is a comedic sci-fi shooter in which humanity is threatened by an alien cartel looking to use humans as drugs.

Smoove, who voiced one of the characters in the game, is teaming up with Squanch Games and Striker Entertainment on the project. The voice cast also includes Jack Black, Susan Sarandon, and Thomas Middleditch.

The actor spoke enthusiastically about the project: 

“High On Life is wild, weird, and wonderful, and the series will be even bigger! Get ready to laugh across the universe with some unforgettable characters!”

Russell Binder of Striker Entertainment emphasized the uniqueness of High On Life:

“It’s a unicorn in the video game world, blending humor with the perfect balance of action and narrative. Partnering with J.B. Smoove and Alternate Side Productions was a natural choice.”

Work is already underway, and fans can expect the zany humor and quirky characters to come alive in a new form on screen.
