Bud.TV, Anheuser-Busch’s new online entertainment network, has ordered a new animated science-fiction series titled “Afterworld,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. Stan Rogow Productions is creating 130 two-minute episodes, which will premiere on the Bud.TV Web site for 10 days before becoming accessible on the official interactive site, Afterworld.TV.

The series is set in a post-apocalyptic world where an inexplicable global event has caused 99 percent of the Earth’s population to disappear and rendered technology useless. Brent Friedman (Dark Skies) will serve as head writer and producer.

Rogow hailed the computer-animated series as the first fully interactive science-fiction serial intended for the Internet, mobile phones and gaming. He and his partners are in negotiations with partners to exploit “Afterworld” on all platforms. “We believe we are setting a new standard for digital storytelling that will appeal to a broad array of demographics and be adaptable to a multiple number of today’s most exciting platforms,” Rogow told the trade paper.
