Blark and Son came to life in early 2017 as a series of 30-second Instagram videos. Created by special effects veteran Ben Bayouth, the social media comedy stars puppets Blark (dad) and Son (his 12-year old son), in a sitcom-style format unique among today’s vast array of animated digital content. The show is a member of the Stoopid Buddy Stoodios family (“Robot Chicken”, “Buddy Thunderstruck”), which means A) it’s more than a little “out there” and B) it’s got a passionate following.

The success of that first Blark and Son season inspired Baymouth and Executive Producer Adam Aseraf not only to embark on a 2nd season, but to expand the episodes – to a full 7 minutes each! Production on Season 2 began in January, with a launch expected in late March/early April. Verizon go90 will be the platform.

In the meantime, to watch all the Season 1 episodes, go to @BlarkandSon on Instagram and follow this out-of-touch dad as he tries to relate to his uninspired pre-teen son.

While in LA recently, I visited the Blark and Son set for this exclusive, inside look at one of the most bizarre and ambitious puppet shows ever made – with no strings attached!
