Tiny Onion’s Three New Adult Animation Projects
Welcome our new Director of Multimedia - Animation, Casey Gonzalez!
Hola Lil’ Onions!
This is our last newsletter before we go on holiday break. In true form, we’ve saved our biggest announcement for last. In even truer Tiny Onion fashion, it’s actually four announcements in one!
Tiny Onion is getting into adult animation, starting with adaptations of The Woods (BOOM! Studios), W0rldtr33 (Image), a new, original series, Tipsy Dragon, and the previously announced Something is Killing the Children (BOOM! Studios) animated series with Blumhouse. We’ve been hard at work.
When we launched, James cited aggressive multimedia plans in our announcement. We’ve been working at those plans (with roughly 14 projects at various stages of development, including the above mentioned projects) since our launch nearly two years ago. Kicking off the robust adult animation slate is an adaptation of The Woods, based on the award-winning comic book series published by BOOM! Studios, co-created by James and Michael Dialynas (Wynd, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).
As the work ramped up, we realized we needed help much sooner than we originally planned. Enter stage left, the incredible Casey Gonzalez, Tiny Onion’s new Director of Multimedia - Animation. An animation titan, she spent a decade working alongside industry legend Fred Seibert (Adventure Time, Bee and Puppycat) as his VP of Development at FredFilms, where she developed original cartoons, including the viral short The Summoning, which is being adapted into a three-book series for Oni Press.
When I met Casey for the first time (on a different project we’ll announce next year), I remember leaving the meeting wishing she was on the Tiny Onion team. She was so talented, hard-working, organized and yet relaxed. She was so effortlessly cool! I wanted to work with her as often as possible. Life has a funny way of working out sometimes.
From James:
“Next to comics, there is no medium I have more love for than animation. From the launch of Tiny Onion, we’ve talked about having aggressive plans in this space. What has been announced with the Something is Killing the Children animated series in development with Blumhouse is only the beginning. As we make more steps into the greater world of multimedia, I’m excited to expand the Tiny Onion team, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have Casey joining us to spearhead our moves in this lane. I can’t wait for everyone to see what we have in store for you together.”
Casey’s already been hard at work, starting with The Woods, developing some incredible adaptations of our comics, and some new original stories written for animation.
From the release:
The Woods is a part of an expanding adult animation slate that also includes an animated adaptation of Tynion’s Image Comics horror sci-fi series W0RLDTR33 in development at Netflix. Co-created by Fernando Blanco (Detective Comics) and colored by multi Eisner Award-winning colorist Jordie Bellaire (Exquisite Corpses), W0RLDTR33 tells the story of a dark evil within the internet that may destroy humanity. Tynion and Blanco will serve as Executive Producers on the series with Ashley Cardiff (Fear The Walking Dead) set as Showrunner and Executive Producer. Sean Buckelew of Green Street Pictures (Common Side Effects, Scavenger’s Reign) will also serve as Executive Producer and the team has just brought on Guillaume Dousse of Æsten studio (Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, Flee) to lead visual development and art direction for the series.
Additionally, Tiny Onion is developing an adult animated comedy series The Tipsy Dragon with production company Irony Point. The series is being developed by Daniel Powell (Ugly Americans). RJ Fried, Mike Leech, and Zach Smilovitz (Our Cartoon President) are attached to write and help produce. An original concept from Tynion, The Tipsy Dragon is set in a tavern in a world where the age of heroes and legends is long past—and its barkeep and patrons couldn’t care less about their supposed role in an ancient battle between good and evil just outside their doorstep.
“I am honored to be joining the talented team at Tiny Onion. I feel right at home in this group of creative folks who are passionate about original stories, anyone who has worked in comics can tell you about the huge amount of effort that goes into producing a single page. Tiny Onion brings that spirit of hard work and close collaboration to everything that they do. The result is an undeniably human touch: stories that you can’t put down, art that grabs your attention, events that resonate, and fans who feel deeply connected to it all. Led by the wonderful James Tynion IV, Tiny Onion has built an absolute treasure trove of original stories. I can’t wait to bring these bold, thrilling, boundary-pushing stories to life in animation.”

And thus concludes the 2025 working year at Tiny Onion. This week the Tiny Onion Directors have been holed up in snowy Buffalo, tying up 2025 and planning out the next few years in minute detail. We’re off for the rest of December, the goal being that for the next two weeks our team will be resting and replenishing to prepare for the year ahead. As we slide into our second anniversary, I feel an immersive sense of gratitude to both the Tiny Onion team and you, the readers. It feels as if we’re just getting started. It feels like we have always worked together. We’re excited. I hope you are too.
May 2026 bring you everything you have wanted and all that which you deserve.
Auld Lang Syne, to many more. Happy New Year!
