New animated series 'Dealies' Netflix

If you were gutted by the cancellation of Scavengers Reign, Netflix has something that might ease the pain. The streaming giant has officially announced Dealies, a new adult animated workplace comedy set inside the most gloriously unhinged big box store in America.

The show is created by Joe Bennett and Ted Travelstead, and is expected to arrive on Netflix in 2027.

What Dealies is actually about?

The official description sets the tone perfectly for this animated series: “A savant salesman. A gentle gladiator. A quiet virtuoso. A summoner of the divine. And the poor soul who hired them. All part of the staff at Dealies, a big box store. They are masters of the delicate alchemy of trade. Prophets of enterprise. And occasionally they do some actual work.”

It is a 2D animated series centered on the everyday chaos of what the show calls a supernatural superstore, which already tells you this is not going to be a straightforward workplace sitcom. No release date has been set beyond the 2027 window.

The creative team behind Dealies has a serious track record

Joe Bennett co-created Scavengers Reign, the visually stunning sci-fi series that originally aired on HBO Max before moving to Netflix, where it was unfortunately not renewed despite strong critical praise.

He followed that with another underrated TV series, Common Side Effects on Adult Swim. It’s a darkly funny conspiracy comedy about two former lab partners on the run from both the DEA and Big Pharma. The show has already been renewed for a second season.

Ted Travelstead previously served as executive story editor on The Great North and has written for several Illumination projects. Green Street Pictures, the studio co-founded by Bennett, produces Dealies and has been behind all of his major projects.

With Scavengers Reign‘s legacy behind them and Common Side Effects still going strong, Dealies arrives with serious momentum and very high expectations.

As film and TV jobs grow harder to find, writers, editors, and executives across Hollywood are quietly taking gig work just to pay the bills. It's called Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), and it involves fine-tuning AI models.
