Netflix has lined up a new adult animated comedy for its upcoming lineup, with The Undervale landing a straight-to-series order at the streamer.
The logline for the series, which Netflix won at auction under the working title of Haunted Hotel, is as follows:
“A single mother of two struggles to run a haunted hotel with the help of her estranged brother, who is now one of the ghosts and thinks the other ghosts have some pretty good ideas.”
No cast announcements were made during the initial show reveal. Likewise, there is no release date as of yet, but we’ll keep you posted on all developments in the future.
Alongside the announcement today, Netflix released two upcoming first looks for the new series:
