Praise Petey: Annie Murphy Leads a Cult in Trailer for Freeform Animated Series

Freeform is tapping into a style that hasn’t aired on the community but with Praise Petey.

The cabler went public with the trailer for its star-studded new sequence on Thursday, and it is poised to be a large hit.

“Petey aka Petra begins the series as an NYC’ It Girl’ with everything figured out, until her well-curated life comes crashing down,” the official description reads.

“As luck would have it, a mysterious gift from her deceased father gives her a new lease on life – taking over as leader of his small-town cult New Utopia.”

“As Petey leans into her new role as a ‘girl boss,’ she discovers what it means to be a leader and how to find her voice as she tries to modernize her late father’s small-town cult.”

It’s a compelling hook for a sequence, however we’re positive the largest hook right here would be the forged.

Praise Petey is led by Annie Murphy (Schitt’s Creek), Christine Baranski (The Good Fight), Stephen Root (Barry), John Cho (Star Trek), and Kiersey Clemmons (The Flash).

That’s a lot of expertise, and if the trailer is any indication, the forged, animation, and plot will make this one of many most-talked-about reveals of the summer season.

The sequence comes from Saturday Night Live’s Anna Drezen and is govt produced by Bandera Entertainment’s Mike Judge, Greg Daniels, and Dustin Davis, together with ShadowMachine’s Alex Bulkley and Corey Campodonico (Guillermo del Toro’s PINOCCHIO) and Monica Padrick (Central Park).

Praise Petey is produced by Disney Television Studios’ twentieth Television Animation, with animation by ShadowMachine.

Praise Petey’s freshman season will include 10 episodes and is about to premiere on July 21, 2023, at 10:00 pm ET, with the primary two episodes on Freeform.
