- THE CREATORS GOT THEIR START LAMPOONING MICHAEL JORDAN. Before breaking out with American Vandal, co-creators Perrault and Tony Yacenda garnered some attention for a 2013 parody of ESPN’s 30 for 30 documentary series.
- THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PEE HOLE. With produced footage under their belt, Perrault and Yacenda began to shop their idea for a documentary satire about spray-painted penises to several different outlets in early 2016.
- IT WAS INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY. (REALLY.) While the premise of American Vandal is fictional, it did have some unintentional echoes in real life. Showrunner Dan Lagana, who was brought onboard to help Perrault and Yacenda flesh out the show’s episodic format, told Vulture that his stepson was once accused of a similar, penis-related crime.
- NOT ALL OF IT WAS SCRIPTED. While American Vandal has the visceral feel of a documentary series, it’s comprised of actors delivering scripted lines in a way that sounds spontaneous.
In the wake of their first documentary's success, Peter and Sam seek a new case and settle on a stomach-churning mystery at a Washington high school. Watch trailers & learn more.
