ABC has commissioned two productions from Western Australian production company Mad Kids.
Mad Kids are known for their web series The Legend of Gavin Tanner and viral sensation It’s a Snap!​
It's a Snap has more than 3 million views on YouTube, while Set Yourself Free, has more than 19 million views.
In early 2016, Mad Kids’ satirical comedy series DAFUQ? will premiere exclusively on iView.
It is about a group of reporters working in non-mainstream, cross platform news.
The series is written, directed by and starring Henry Inglis and Matt Lovkis and produced by Lauren Elliott.
In addition, their hit webseries The Legend of Gavin Tanner will morph into a half hour television pilot, as part of ABC’s Comedy Showroom pilot season.
The ABC Comedy Showroom will see six pilots – each the first episodes of a brand new sitcom – premiere in 2016.
Audiences will get to vote on the episodes they would like to see as a full series. Mad Kids’ The Legend of Gavin Tanner is the only Western Australian production to be featured in this pilot season.
