SYFY TO DEBUT FIRST TWO "TZGZ" ANIMATED ORIGINALS, "MAGICAL GIRL FRIENDSHIP SQUAD" AND "WILD LIFE," ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26

--Voiced by Quinta Brunson, Ana Gasteyer, Claudia O'Doherty, John Reynolds and More, New Originals to Premiere Back-to-Back in Late-Night Animation Block Starting at Midnight ET/PT--

NEW YORK, NY -- August 20, 2020 -- This fall, make sure to clear Saturday nights to hang with your new animated friends on SYFY: two twenty-somethings from MAGICAL GIRL FRIENDSHIP SQUAD saving the universe (yes, PLEASE save it!) and an eccentric group of animals from WILD LIFE just chillin' post-apocalypse (this one feels especially relatable). On Saturday, September 26 at midnight ET/PT, the network's first two originals for its late-night adult animation block TZGZ will premiere back-to-back (MAGICAL GIRL FRIENDSHIP SQUAD at midnight, and WILD LIFE at around 12:15AM ET/PT).

What else do the two series have in common? Pandas. Discover why below...

ABOUT 'MAGICAL GIRL FRIENDSHIP SQUAD':

When a little red panda named Nut (Ana Gasteyer) arrives in the apartment of two directionless twenty-somethings and gives them the ability to transform into badass magical girls, Alex (Quinta Brunson) and Daisy (Anna Akana) are forced to get their shit together in order to save the Universe from otherworldly threats. Through a journey of love and friendship and with the help of their magical objects (birth control and a bong), Alex and Daisy learn to wield their new powers and protect their mysterious panda friend who claims to be the creator of the Universe.

The 6-episode, 15-minute long anime-inspired comedy also stars Matteo Lane. Christine Baranski, Eric Bauza, Helen Hong, Manny Jacinto and Sarah "Squirm" Sherman recur. Guest stars include Paget Brewster, Patti Harrison, Jamie Loftus, Vella Lovell and Jason Mantzoukas.

Produced by Cartuna, the MAGICAL GIRL FRIENDSHIP SQUAD franchise, which includes a shorter-form version "Origins," is created by Kelsey Stephanides, who also serves as showrunner. James Belfer, Adam Belfer and Max Benator executive produce, along with Hallie Cantor who is also the lead writer.

ABOUT 'WILD LIFE':

WILD LIFE is a comedy about a gang of zoo animal friends hanging out after the apocalypse. There's the pacifist cheetah Glenn (John Reynolds), bubbly dolphin Marny (Claudia O'Doherty), hyper fox Hudson (Baron Vaughn), psychedelic koala Darby (Reggie Watts), self-care loving panda Debbie (SkittLeZ Ortiz) and energy drink-guzzling sloth Viv (Natalie Palamides). Together, they come up with elaborate schemes to entertain themselves and just keep from going insane. From taking trips to a mutant-infested mall for hood ornaments to stumbling upon an old broadcast studio and creating their own shows, these critters are always up to something.

The 6-episode, 15-minute series is executive produced by creator Adam Davies, as well as Alex Plapinger, Dylan Dawson, Valparaiso Pictures and Octopie.

ABOUT 'TZGZ':

TZGZ is SYFY's growing late-night adult animation block (TZGZ comes after SYFY, duh). It's on Saturdays at midnight-ish because, just come hang whenever... we're around. It's perfect for when you're feeling chill, funny and maybe even have the munchies. We've got animated comedy with a genre twist and of course, a High Wizard to keep you company. What else do you need? Oh, a list of programming. Sure, HERE ya go.
