Belzebubs

Belzebubs is a family sitcom (13 x 22 min) for young adults documenting the lives of your average devil-worshiping family next door, their romantic affairs and the sluggish evolution of the father’s hapless black metal band. The focus is on everyday issues and the challenges of marrying a rather challenging career with kids, PTA meetings, satanic masses… you know, the usual family life.

The outrageously funny, slice-of-life stories leave you rooting for the demonic yet lovable characters and their do-or-die attitude. Whatever the odds, they pursue their dreams relentlessly. For you see, Belzebubs NEVER give up.

Series is based on the Belzebubs webcomic created by JP Ahonen.
