The Awesomes, a new animated web series created by Seth Meyers and former SNL producer Mike Shoemaker, is set to premiere on Hulu August 1st, and the trailer and website just went live today. Produced by Lorne Michaels via his company Broadway Video, the show follows the greatest superhero team in history after all of their best members leave. The main voice cast is made up of Meyers, Rashida Jones, Kenan Thompson, Taran Killam, Bobby Lee, Ike Barinholtz, Bill Hader, Rachel Dratch, and SNL writers Paula Pell and Emily Spivey. Meyers and Shoemaker started developing the show in 2006, sold it to MTV in 2009, jumped to Hulu last year, and now it’s finally almost here.
