Tarantula (TV series)

Tarantula is an American adult animated sitcom. It is adapted from a web series of the same name, which was released on YouTube by its creator, Carson Mell, from 2012 to 2015. It aired on TBS from December 4 until December 25, 2017.
On March 19, 2018, TBS canceled the series after one season. Mell has since revived and continued the original web series that the TV series was based on.
Premise.
A respected but uncertified tattoo artist delivers absurd yet introspective monologues about the residents of the Tierra Chula Resident Hotel and their misadventures.
Development.
Creator Carson Mell has stated that the inspiration for the show and the original webseries came from his exasperation with "anti-hero" humor. Departing from the misanthropic humor of contemporary adult animation shows such as "Rick and Morty", Mell instead sought "to make a show where people are nice to each other, where if you hurt someone’s feelings it’s a big deal."
Episodes.
The entire season was released on the TBS app/website on December 3, 2017.
Broadcast.
Prior to the television release date, the entire series was released on the TBS website and app on December 3, 2017. The series made its television debut on December 4, 2017 at 10pm on TBS.
