“Somewhere behind the Iron Curtain, as the regime crumbles around them, a mismatched trio of Cosmonauts wait for orders that will blast them into orbit… Or into pieces”

COSMONOTS is an existential animated sitcom about three people never making it to space.

The Sit is a crumbling Cosmodrome in a carefully unspecified Communist state. The Com blends bleak absurdism with workplace comedy, adds a dash of nerd culture and serves it up ice-cold in a leaky Soviet vessel. It’s a dangerously unstable comic fuel, as indebted to Franz Kafka or Samuel Beckett as it is to The Office and BoJack Horseman.
