Adult Swim Sets ‘Women Wearing Shoulder Pads’ Premiere for August

From Annecy, Adult Swim announced that the new quarter-hour animated comedy Women Wearing Shoulder Pads will premiere globally beginning Sunday, August 17 at midnight ET/PT.

Created by Gonzalo Cordova (Tuca & Bertie, Adam Ruins Everything) and produced in partnership with Mexico City-based studio by Cinema Fantasma (Frankelda’s Book of Spooks), the stop-motion series follows Marioneta, a proud wealthy Spaniard living in 1980s Quito, Ecuador. There she encounters a diverse group of eccentric and ambitious women navigating the complicated worlds of love, family and cuys.

Featuring an all-woman cast, Women Wearing Shoulder Pads is produced entirely in Spanish with English subtitles.

The announcement was made during Annecy’s Work in Progress panel in which Cordova, director Ana Coronilla, and series executive producers Roy Ambriz and Arturo Ambriz of Cinema Fantasma exclusively presented a never-before-seen episode of the forthcoming series.
