Nickelodeon has ordered a new original animated series, Middlemost Post (working title), which combines quirky characters with hilarious adventures and unwavering friendship. The 20-episodic Middlemost Post is produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio in Burbank, Calif., with Dave Johnson serving as co-executive producer and story editor.
Created and co-executive produced by John Trabbic III (storyboard director, SpongeBob SquarePants), the 2D-animated series follows a former rain cloud, a brawny mailman and their magical pet walrus as they deliver packages to the unusual inhabitants of Mount Middlemost.
“Middlemost Post captures everything we look for in a new series — an imaginative and truly unique world, lovable characters who care deeply about each other and big comedic moments to drive the story,” said Nickelodeon Animation executive vice president Ramsey Naito. “The series is created by our very own John Trabbic, with writing partner Dave Johnson, and we can’t wait to bring to life the characters and places in this artist-driven series for our global audience.”
Parker J. Cloud, an exuberant raincloud, lives and works in the Middlemost Post Office with Angus, a burly, rule-abiding mailman who cherishes his solitude and values efficiency, and Russell, their magical pet walrus whose stomach is so big that it doubles as a storage room. Together they journey through Mount Middlemost and the six territories of Somewhere to deliver the mail, while meeting some exceptionally quirky and peculiar people along the way. But as this loving and unconventional trio grows closer, they remain blissfully unaware that they have been brought together by one fateful stormy event.
