Fairfax is an Amazon Original adult animated comedy series that follows the misadventures of 13-year-olds Dale, Derica, Benny, and Truman, four best friends on a never ending quest for clout. Starring Skyler Gisondo, Kiersey Clemons, Peter Kim, and Jaboukie Young-White — and featuring the likes of Billy Porter, Zoey Deutch, Camila Mendes, Rob Delaney, Yvette Nicole Brown, Ben Schwartz, JB Smoove, John Leguizamo, and Colton Dunn, among others, in guest roles — this series is about the timeless struggle to be cooler than you are, to fit in while standing out, and what it feels like to wait in line for a pair of sneakers you’re never going to cop.

Fairfax offers a satirical play on the young, new wave of the sneakerhead/streetwear community, while also capturing the very essence of hypebeast culture — inclusive of the fashion, music, and pop culture that intertwines it all together. The hilarious series pokes fun at hype culture in silly and absurd ways that ultimately showcases the impact among younger generations. Fairfax plays on Gen Z hot topics including cancel culture, social media etiquette, social media activists, clout chasing, sneaker obsessions, and more.

The series is executive produced by longtime friends Matthew Hausfater, Aaron Buchsbaum, and Teddy Riley; Jon Zimelis and Jason U. Nadlerfor Serious Business (@midnight); Peter A. Knight (Bojack Horseman); and Chris Prynoski, Ben Kalina, and Antonio Cannobio for Titmouse (Big Mouth).

Additional EPs on the project include: Jon Zimelis and Jason U. Nadler from Serious Business (@midnight), Peter A. Knight (Bojack Horseman), Chris Prynoski, Ben Kalina, and Antonio Cannobio from Titmouse (Big Mouth). Renowned pop/internet culture clothing and media brand Pizzaslime are consulting producers and somehoodlum designed the characters.
