Production
On May 7, 2015, it was announced that Adult Swim had ordered an untitled pilot by Million Dollar Extreme described as a "sketch show in an almost present day post apocalyptic nightmare world".[2] Based on that pilot, it was announced on March 3, 2016, that it would go to series with the group presenting it under the additional subtitle World Peace, and the first season consisting of six episodes under the network's traditional eleven-minute episode structure.[1] The show was produced by Rent Now Productions and shot in Atlanta, Georgia.
Cancellation
Buzzfeed writer Joseph Bernstein was active in criticizing the show after a heated interview with the creator, Sam Hyde. He wrote that a source allegedly told him the network's standards departments repeatedly discovered and removed coded racist messages, including hidden swastikas.[4] Sam denied these allegations in a YouTube response.[5] Hyde also accused fellow adult swim comedian Tim Heidecker of being a critic of the show, and therefore being instrumental in its cancellation for a second season.[6] According to Hyde, despite Adult Swim executives' apparent interest to pick up the show for a second season, Turner ultimately decided to cancel the show.[7]
