Strange Planet premieres August 9 on Apple TV+ with three episodes, followed by new episodes weekly.
Since 2019, the unnamed blue beings of Nathan W. Pyle’s webcomic Strange Planet have filtered the inanities of everyday human life – from trying to interpret a cat’s behavior to thoughts on death – through their alien lens. Having conquered social media, Pyle now brings his creations and their disarmingly literal vocabulary to Apple TV+ in a cartoon that’s a welcome, downtempo alternative to the rapid-fire, adult-animation mainstream. Pyle teams with one of the biggest stars of that scene, prolific comedy writer and Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon, to adapt the comics into a charming, fleshed-out world of interconnected characters who ruminate with emotional sensitivity on topics like the fear of flying and stage fright.
The pilot episode, “The Flying Machine,” introduces the town of Beingsburgh, whose inhabitants do a lot of things that we humans do: They travel on airplanes, they form obsessive attachments to bands – they just do it with a lot more emotional maturity and awareness of their actions. None of these characters have names, but over the span of the 10-episode season, they become more distinct thanks to vocal performances and their unique accessories. Pyle and the Strange Planet writers craft dialogue in the idiosyncratic dialect of the webcomic, so a lot of the initial fun of the series involves mentally translating terms like jitter juice (coffee) or Emergence Day (birthday).

Pyle’s webcomic prevails, and is well-supported by the warm and measured performances of a cast an...
