Joe Bennet’s next animated series is shaping up to be a little different from his previous work on Scavengers Reign and Common Side Effects. The upcoming Netflix series Dealies will focus on the strange characters working at a big-box store, with an antique shop across the street providing some competition. In an interview about Common Side Effects, which has a second season on the way, Bennet offered a few new details about his other upcoming project.
Dealies is expected to arrive in 2027. I think it's pulling a lot more from that sort of thing,” Bennet said. Very observed,” Hely said.
The show comes from Green Street Pictures, the studio co-founded by Bennet. Its official logline introduces a staff of unusual employees, including “a savant salesman,” “a gentle gladiator,” and “a summoner of the divine,” alongside the unfortunate person who hired them. They're described as masters of commerce who occasionally get around to doing some actual work.
Bennet previously co-created Scavengers Reign, the surreal science fiction series that followed humans stranded on an alien planet, and Common Side Effects, an Adult Swim conspiracy comedy about a mushroom with potentially world-changing properties. Both shows showcase his interest in strange worlds and offbeat characters, though Dealies appears to be taking that sensibility into a more recognizable setting. Netflix has yet to announce a specific release date for Dealies, but the series is currently expected sometime in 2027.
