*Creative 7 co-founders Carmelo Anthony and Asani Swann are set to executive produce “Rabid Fans,” an animated sports satire series from Victory Road Studios.
The news release states that the show, co-created by Mike Basone and Zac Greenbaum, offers a humorous critique of sports media and fan culture through animated panelists—four wild creatures hosting a podcast from a secret New York City studio. Since its soft launch in August, “Rabid Fans” has gained over 5 million views and 30,000 followers. Anthony, a 10-time NBA All-Star, will be the first celebrity guest.
“Rabid Fans is an entertaining take on sports culture that doesn’t hold back,” Anthony said. “It captures the passion, energy and real talk of fans, and we’re excited to help bring this original and creative series to an even bigger audience.”
“It’s the first of its kind and addresses the viewing habits of today’s sports fans,” added Swann. “Mike and Zac have created something truly original with Rabid Fans, and Carmelo and I immediately saw its limitless potential. We’re thrilled to be a part of it and excited to get to work.”
