A biting social commentary on the pitfalls of fame and celebrity culture
“In a media landscape where fame is more attainable than ever, yet fleeting,
Starmageddon taps into the absurdity of our celebrity-obsessed culture.”
– Catherine Winder, CEO of Wind Sun Sky Entertainment
Starmageddon is a biting social commentary on the pitfalls of fame and celebrity culture. This 2D, episodic workplace comedy follows Marco and Jordana, two egocentric co-hosts of a daytime gossip show, as they make a Faustian bargain with the Devil to become the number one show on television. Their relentless ambition not only costs them their souls but also ensnares their unsuspecting production crew. Imagine the classic tale of Damn Yankees fused with the lively banter of LIVE with Kelly and Mark, sprinkle in Hell and Hollywood – and you’ll get a sense of the diabolical humor that defines Starmageddon.
“In a media landscape where fame is more attainable than ever, yet fleeting, Starmageddon taps into the absurdity of our celebrity-obsessed culture.” says Catherine Winder, CEO of Wind Sun Sky Entertainment. “With Claire and Justin at the helm, we truly believe Starmageddon will be one helluva show.”
WSS is set to take Starmageddon to new heights with its edgy humor, dynamic storytelling, and experienced, comedic creative team. The series is poised to resonate with audiences who appreciate entertaining, satirical takes on Hollywood and celebrity culture.
“Working on Starmageddon has been a dream. Claire and I had a blast creating these hilariously awful, yet relatable characters, who dive headfirst into the hellish culture of celebrity—pitchforks and all,” says Justin Tyler, with Claire Friedman adding, “In today’s media environment, where every move is scrutinized and every mistake amplified, Starmageddon feels timely. There is an endless amount of material.”
