Rashida Jones, Stoopid Buddy Stoodios Team Up for Quibi Series FILTHY ANIMALS

Quibi has announced the development of 'FILTHY ANIMALS* (working title),' a 2d animated Science fiction comedy series featuring Rashida Jones, written by acclaimed artists and twin brothers, Nikolai and Simon Haas; and produced by Stoopid Buddy Stoodios.

'FILTHY ANIMALS' follows SUNNY DAY (Jones) as a too smart for her own good, lonely 12 year old suburban middle schooler who befriends a selfish, renegade, messy, suave adoptive cat, Cruz.

Raised in Austin, Texas, twins Nikolai and Simon Haas (b. 1984) founded The Haas Brothers in Los Angeles in 2010. Known for their exceptional craftsmanship, they have evolved from fabricators and collaborators to nimble cross-pollinators in creative disciplines including fashion, film, art, and design.

Their work explores aesthetic themes related to nature, Science fiction, sexuality, and psychedelia in materials that range from brass, porcelain, and fur, to highly technical resins and polyurethane. Their work is in the permanent collections of the RISD Museum in Providence, RI, the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York, NY, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY. The Haas Brothers live and work in Los Angeles, CA.

TV, through which they produced NBC's 'A TO Z' Le Train Train also co-produced Netflix's docu-series 'HOT GIRLS WANTED: TURNED ON,; a continuation of the 2015 Emmy-nominated documentary 'HOT GIRLS WANTED,' and executive produced the hit dramedy series 'CLAWS,' which premiered on TNT in 2017.
