They promised us a fresh and original series each month and Wildseed Comedy have not disappointed with a new show 'Ship of Eagles'. This is an animated sci-fi comedy written and directed by Joel Veitch and David Shute of rathergood.com, and executive produced by Wildseed Studios’ Miles Bullough and Jesse Cleverly.
Miles Bullough co-founder of Wildseed Comedy and Ship of Eagles’ executive producer said: “Fresh, and truly original content is what viewers are after, and shows like Ship of Eagles have been designed to satisfy that need, allowing audiences to consume content when and where they want to. The show was conceived as an epic world that will make the best use of sci-fi animation to create huge space structures, intergalactic battles and alien worlds – all the really big stuff that’s not possible through live action alone.”
Jesse Cleverly said: “Ship of Eagles is a rich and diverse world with strong characters, so we’d love to do more which will allow us take viewers on a journey with our intergalactic heroes as they uncover the true nature of space civilisation and the weakness of the Theocracy. The unrelenting growth of digital production and distribution platforms allows companies like Wildseed Comedy to fearlessly produce excellent shows like Ship of Eagles from a new generation of British comedy talent.”
'Ship of Eagles' is set in a future where mankind has spread throughout the stars. The Galactic Human Empire is ruled by a massive byzantine theocracy, a dense, ancient mess of rituals, dogma and bureaucracy, so old and complex that nobody really understands it all any more (set in the future yet sounds so familiar…). We follow Sarah as she flees the authorities after selling a batch of dodgy codpieces. The small time crook is joined by an unlikely crew of reluctant rebels.
The crew's friendship grows thanks to their mutual struggle for survival as they try to escape the Theocracy with their lives.
