FX Releases Trailer for New Gay Animated Series, 'Chozen' (NSFW Video)

Will 'Chozen' make prison rape jokes funny again?


FX is taking a chance with a new animated series, and the main character happens to be gay.  

Chozen is
about a homosexual, white rapper fresh out of prison on a quest for redemption. Among the many executive producers of the show include Eastbound & Down star Danny McBride and Archer creator Adam Reed. Chozen is voiced by SNL star Bobby Moynihan. The cast includes Hannibal Buress, Danny McBride, Kathryn Hahn, Nick Swardson and Michael Peña. Gay animated series haven't been very successful in the past, but to be fair, this hasn't really been pulled off before. Simpsons Executive producer Mike Reiss launched  Queer Duck with Showtime in 2002. The cartoon was cancelled, but developed a cult following and became a webseries that appealed to the UK market.

Will viewers be "gay" for Chozen?



Chozen premieres Monday, January 13 at 10:30 p.m. EST on FX.
