Hemlock is an animated series for viewers 17 and up, set in Los Angeles in 1985.
At 21, junior reporter Isaac Russo lands his first big assignment. It draws him, his mentor and his ex into a widening investigation, forcing each of them to decide how much they're willing to sacrifice for the truth.

Delilah is blunt and reads a room faster than anyone but she shuts down the moment things get personal. She left LA six months ago. Now she's back and hasn't said why.
47. Veteran reporter at The Times.

Smitty is cranky and sarcastic but cares more than he lets anyone see. He has worked at The Times for decades and watched most of his colleagues leave. He becomes a mentor, even though he never wanted to be one.
59. Editor in chief of The Times.

Jemmingsen is quirky and philosophical. He's more at peace with himself than anyone else in the newsroom. He lived through some of the worst years in American history and stayed kind. He believes in the city the OPA built.
The four main roles are cast, and thank you to everyone who auditioned. We're now looking for voice actors for five more roles.
Details coming soon
Small and background voices
Trust comes at a price. As the investigation deepens, loyalties are tested and each character must decide how far they'll go for the truth.
Grief and danger sit alongside office jokes and quiet days in a retrofuturist Los Angeles, a solarpunk city filled with cassette technology and the promise of a future imagined in the 1980s.
Hemlock is for fans of character dramas where every choice has consequences.
