Supply Chains

For professionals navigating the complexities of the M&E supply chain, staying ahead requires sharp competitive intelligence and a keen understanding of market trends. The recent unveiling of the trailer for Dana Terrace’s “Knights of Guinevere,” the first 2D series from Glitch Productions, offers a compelling case study in emerging distribution models and content strategies.

The pilot episode is set to premiere on Glitch’s YouTube channel on September 19, signaling a significant shift in how animation is being developed and distributed. Described as a psychological thriller set in a planet-wide theme park in the clouds, the series blends fairytale wonder with sci-fi horror.

The launch of “Knights of Guinevere” arrives at a crucial juncture for independent animation distribution. While traditional studios are scaling back on commissions and acquisitions of content geared toward teen and young adult audiences, Glitch has successfully cultivated a dedicated global audience by focusing on high-quality, internet-first projects produced outside the established studio framework.

Founded in 2017 by Kevin and Luke Lerdwichagul, Glitch Productions’ journey from a small operation in Sydney to a globally recognized independent animation house offers valuable insights. Their success has led to a deal with Netflix to license “The Amazing Digital Circus,” highlighting the potential for indie studios to break into mainstream platforms. This could potentially establish a new model for the distribution of independently produced animation, reshaping the dynamics of content acquisition and viewership.

“Knights of Guinevere” marks Terrace’s return to a major project following “The Owl House,” which concluded in 2023. Given the earlier series’ acclaim for storytelling and LGBTQ+ representation, the new series is positioned as a highly anticipated animated debut.
