Toonstar, a Web3 animation studio that is creating the future of interactive storytelling and community experiences, revealed it would be releasing the NFT-backed animated television series titled “Space Junk.” this show was written by Dominic Russo and stars Jon Heder of the “Napoleon Dynamite” 2004 movie and Tony Cavalero who was in Nickoledeon’s “School of Rock” series.

As per CoinDesk, Toonstar is planning to release the NFT-supported comedy series soon. The show is about trash collectors in space, and fans will be able to mint “Space Junk” non-fungible tokens on the Theta blockchain. This will give them a chance to engage with the project’s intellectual property (IP) by developing the series’ story, creating characters, and taking part in the token holder-only exclusive experiences.

The co-founder and chief executive officer of Toonstar, John Attanasio, told CoinDesk that the model of the “Space Junk” TV series and other productions of the company helps break the traditional creator systems being used in Hollywood for years.

“With each series released this year, we have pushed the technology forward to broaden opportunities for creators and fans to engage with the story world and take part in building new hit IP,” the Toonstar CEO said in a separate press release. “With ‘Space Junk’ we’re taking it even further, merging great content with gameplay that will launch a new Web3-enabled model of interactive entertainment.”

Theta Labs’ head of business development, Andrea Berry, also said that they are “thrilled to partner with Toonstar on ‘Space Junk,’ a series that will demonstrate to the entertainment industry what’s possible when you use blockchain technology to empower creators and fans to engage and create in powerful new ways.”

She added, “As a content company, Toonstar has a strong understanding of the power of Web3 technology and has executed its vision impressively. We see them as a valuable technology developer to bring a dynamic, interactive experience to life by building on the Theta video infrastructure, a custom Theta subchain and NFT marketplace.”
