Jack Mercer
L.A. psychotherapist
Jack can explain everyone’s emotional avoidance except his own. A fresh start on Orvana becomes a crash course in intimacy, fatherhood and staying put.
Ambella Entertainment
ORVANA · Adult comedy
300 years in the future, an L.A. therapist, a British journalist and a children’s magician arrive on the fantastical planet Orvana—where an administrative mistake threatens them with deportation. Between alien housemates, accidental engagements and impossible parenting, they discover a city that would rather edit their memories than tolerate a messy human feeling.
ORVANA is an adult animated comedy about starting over where nobody understands you—including yourself. In a world of all-knowing algorithms, promised happiness and private lives turned into entertainment, the household’s greatest act of rebellion is being gloriously, inconveniently human.
