Fan Casting Don't Hug Me I'm Scared

Each episode starts like a typical children's series, consisting of anthropomorphic puppets akin to those featured in Sesame Street and other popular children's TV programmes. The series parodies these programmes by juxtaposing this childlike, colourful environment and its inhabitants against disturbing themes; each episode features a surreal plot twist in the climax, including psychedelic content and imagery involving gore and psychological horror. The six episodes explore and discuss the subjects of creativity, time, love, technology, diet, and dreams.
