Buckle up, buttercup: There’s a new time-traveling, butt-kicking hero team behind the wheel in Adult Swim’s new digital shorts series Alabama Jackson. Premiering today (Feb. 15), the action-packed stop-motion comedy from Donald Faison (Scrubs) is produced by multi-Emmy-winning Stoopid Buddy Stoodios.
The shorts voice star Faison as Alabama Jackson, a fast-talking, overmatched hustler sent to the past to save Black history from President Woodrow Wilson (Seth Green) and his evil henchman. His time-traveling partner is Harriet Tubman (Wanda Sykes), who uses a quick wit and the open hand of justice to deliver punishment to anyone who gets in her way. Together the duo must go back in time to save life as we know it, one revolutionary at a time.
Alabama Jackson is the first of several new digital short series to premiere on Adult Swim’s YouTube channel. Designed with both fans and creators in mind, each digital short series takes inspiration from popular Adult Swim favorites, reimagining them in a new light while still maintaining the creativity the network is known for.
Alabama Jackson is a seven-episode shorts series; new adventures drop daily at noon ET/9 a.m. PT from Tuesday, February 15 through Monday, February 21 on Adult Swim’s YouTube channel.
