Netflix and Sanrio to Release Gudetama TV Show

By Megan Peters

Netflix is teaming up with Sanrio once more, but this time, Aggretsuko is not to thank! It turns out another mascot from Sanrio is ready for their close-up. A new report has confirmed Gudetama is getting their own TV series, and it will test the limits of everyone's favorite dejected egg.

Over on Twitter, Netflix and Sanrio confirmed plans are in the works for a Gudetama TV series. The show, which will be titled Gudetama: An Eggcellent Adventure,  is expected to debut in 2022 at a later date. And as you can see below, its teaser is all sorts of cute.

The TV show will also be a hybrid project with both CG animation and live-action content. You can see a bit of this in the show's trailer as it starts off with some live-action eggs. Things swap the animation when Gudetama spills out from their comfy egg shell. And of course, the apathetic yolk is too tired to do anything about their sudden adventure.

If you want to know more about Gudetama, you should know the character was created in 2013 under Sanrio artist Emi Nagashima. Despite placing second in a fan-content, Gudetama has gone on to become one of Sanrio's most popular characters given its lethargic nature. To date, Gudetama rolled out countless pieces of merchandise to fans' delight. So if you want to read up on its new Netflix series, you can find the show's synopsis below:

"Gudetama, a listless egg who has given up on life, knowing that all that awaits it is someone's plate, is forced out of the fridge by the enthusiastic, overbearing chick Shakipiyo. Together, the odd couple set out on a quest to find their mother."
