Prime Video has handed a series order to Odd Jobs, a future-set adult animated comedy co-created and executive produced by Mike McMahan (Star Trek: Lower Decks, Solar Opposites) and Dominic Dierkes (Solar Opposites). The series comes from CBS Studios, with Titmouse serving as the animation studio. It will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
In Odd Jobs, the year is 2127, the world is an extreme late-stage capitalist hellscape. The show follows a reluctant team of gig workers as they travel around the neo Midwest, doing the weirdest most dangerous tasks the ODD JOBS app demands.
Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, and Ben Kalina executive produce for Titmouse, alongside McMahan and Dierkes. Amie Karp also serves as an executive producer.

“While wandering through the wilderness, we accidentally stumbled through a portal and found ourselves hundreds of years in the future. We witnessed bizarre and grotesque portents about where humanity is heading. Instead of acting on those warnings, we’re thrilled to turn them into an animated show,” said McMahan and Dierkes.
“Odd Jobs is sharp, absurd, and laugh-out-loud funny, taking a wildly imaginative look at a future that’s as chaotic as it is entertaining,” said Melissa Wolfe, Head of Animation, Amazon MGM Studios. “Mike and Dominic have built a bold, unpredictable world filled with hilarious characters, and we couldn’t be more excited to partner with CBS Studios and Titmouse to bring this new comedy to Prime Video audiences around the world.”
Odd Jobs joins Prime Video’s forthcoming animated comedy Kevin, written and executive produced by Aubrey Plaza and Joe Wengert, in the latest expansion of the streaming network’s adult animated series slate. It joins current Original series Invincible, Hazbin Hotel, The Legend of Vox Machina and spinoff The Mighty Nein, Secret Level and Sausage Party: Foodtopia.
