Synopsis
The Midnight Gospel (2020), Season 1 — watch all 8 episodes online on iFILM. The animated sci-fi comedy was created by Pendleton Ward (Adventure Time) and stand-up comedian Duncan Trussell.
Clancy is a space caster on the Chromatic Ribbon with a busted multiverse simulator. Every jump drops him somewhere new and usually doomed: a zombie-ravaged Earth where the president swears by drugs and meditation; a planet of baby clowns; an underwater realm where a ceremonial magic student talks enlightenment. The subjects keep changing, the questions don't — death, awareness, what any of this is for. Each dying world gives a different answer.
When the simulator finally breaks down, Clancy has to face something closer to home. The final episode, built around a real conversation Trussell had with his mother, lands unlike anything that came before. Stream The Midnight Gospel Season 1 online on iFILM.
