In the Know — Peacock‘s upcoming interview series — dropped its first trailer and a star-studded guest list. Some of this season's guests include Finn Wolfhard and Mike Tyson.
The first trailer
Zach Woods (Silicon Valley, The Office), Brandon Gardner, and Mike Judge developed the new series. In the Know is Peacock's first adult animated comedy and is a hybrid of stop-motion and live-action. ShadowMachine, the studio behind Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio and BoJack Horseman), did the stop-motion animation for the series.
Per Peacock, the show's synopsis reads: “Lauren Caspian is NPR’s third most popular host. He’s a well-meaning, hypocritical nimrod, just like you and me. He’s also a stop-motion puppet. Each episode follows the making of an episode of Lauren’s show In the Know, in which Lauren conducts in-depth interviews with real-world human guests. Lauren collaborates with a diverse crew of NPR staff. They are also puppets and nimrods.”
In the first trailer, Lauren Caspian is shown going into his office. He is ridiculed online, but we also see him interviewing live-action guests like Tyson. It also shows Charlie Bushnell's (Percy Jackson and the Olympians) character starting an office frat.
