The Cast       Twitter       FAQ

The Ape TV Show aims to bring together ape owners, fans, talent, and brands in a new and unique way. Craft the story, join the cast, enjoy the content, and promote your brands.

This will be an animated series featuring Bored Ape characters. There will be 5 episodes in Season 1, approximately 22 mins in length. We are committed to hiring the best writers, directors, animators, and producers to execute on the project. You can see examples of our past work, here.

Featuring (5-10) primary and (100+) secondary BAYC/MAYC (500+ have applied so far). For voices, we will secure (1-2) A list talent, and (15-20) B/C list talent. The show will be heavily influenced by ticket holders. And we expect additional character cameos from Crypto Punks, GCG, WoW, etc.

Today, we are launching a new way to connect the web3 community with the next generation of motion pictures and the characters they love.

To interact, fans, brands, and cast will need to hold NFT Tickets. These tickets will grant you entrance to all The Ape TV Show community has to offer.
