Ellation-owned VRV, the streaming platform that aggregates over-the-top video services into one destination, has announced that it is bringing back HarmonQuest for a third season.
Produced by Universal Cable Productions and Starburns Industries, the series is a mix of adult animation and live improvisation. Created by Dan Harmon, the man behind the breakout hit “Rick and Morty,” and longtime partner Spencer Crittenden, production for the new season will begin this fall in Los Angeles.
“Thanks to VRV’s dedication to serving fandoms and growing communities, they’re the perfect home and partner for HarmonQuest and all adventurous and fantastical content online, we’re proud to stand tall with Otter Media powerhouses like Crunchyroll and Rooster Teeth,” said Spencer Crittenden.
The new season will star Harmon, Crittenden, Erin McGathy and Jeff B. Davis, who gather together to play a Dungeons and Dragons-like roleplaying game called Pathfinder. In the past, the series has featured guest stars that include Patton Oswalt, Aubrey Plaza and Kumail Nanjiani.
The third season of “HarmonQuest,” which is executive produced by Harmon, Crittenden, and James Fino, will stream exclusively on VRV in the platform’s house channel, VRV Select, next year.
“We’re excited to bring HarmonQuest and its unique blend of comedy, animation, and gaming back to VRV,” said Sarah Victor, head of content development at VRV, Ellation. “We already have some great guest stars teed up for next season, and we can’t wait to unveil more about what Dan Harmon, Spencer Crittenden, and the gang have planned for season three.”
“HarmonQuest” originally launched in 2016 on the now-defunct Seeso, NBC’s comedy-focused subscription video service, before migrating to VRV for its second season last year. VRV is one of several properties owned by Ellation, which is controlled by AT&T’s Otter Media. Other properties that fall under the company’s umbrella include anime-centric streaming platform Crunchyroll and RoosterTeeth, a media and entertainment company located in Austin, Texas.
