Deadwhearhouce (Franchise)

Deadwhearhouce is a Scottish Internet Comedy Media Franchise created by Gregor James, which began with the eponymous 2022 Web Series, and slowly became a pop-cultural phenomenon. Since its creation, the franchise has expanded into various Films, Television Series, Video Games, Novels and Comic Books.

The franchise started with the original Deadwhearhouce series, which was only animated by Gregor James in his bedroom. The episodes were originally uploaded to the Deadwhearhouce Youtube Channel, however low attention led to James ending the series early, but the last episode (TBA) blew up. The series follows the unrecognized communist microstate of the same name, ran by the Insane Emperor, Jackinton Brambin, with the episode follows stories of Deadwhearhouce's citizens, on the international stage or in the place itself. Instead of continuing the series, Gregor, with the newly founded Octopus Animation, released the movie Deadwhearhouce 2049, which received mixed reception at release, but has since grown a cult following over the years. An attempt at a revival was the movie, Not Irrelevant, which was poorly received and was not a success.

In 2031, Deadwhearhouce was rebooted as a television show, which followed a more serialized format apposed to the episodic formula of the old show. The first saga within the reboot, The Meaty Saga, lasted 4 series and 3 movies, ending in 2036. From 2037 to (TBA), the main Deadwhearhouce series was focused on yearly (or bi-yearly) holiday specials, theatrical movies and spin-off Mini-Series about specific characters. A Spin off, Veronica Brambin, was produced in 2037, and followed a reincarnated version of Jackinton Mum, and lasted for 2 seasons. A crossover television special with Gregor's other series Omino Bonge, Blood Sucking Battery's, aired in 2039.

2021-2025: The Original Series and 2099
In mid 2021, Gregor James was messing around drawing character designs when he accidentally made Jackinton. Originally wanting to use Jackinton as a side character, his expansive nature of him and the world he created of him lead to Gregor to draft a treatment for an animated Jackinton show. Over the next few months, scripts for 26 episodes were written, and after receiving an animation pad for Christmas of that year, started work on animating the show.

Production at first went smoothly, with Gregor as the only person behind it. However, he eventually hired his friend, Mel Atkin as a editor and more friends as voice actors, though he was the only animator.

The show, now renamed Deadwhearhouce, premiered its first episode, Making Deadwhearhouce (Part 1), on the 15th March  2022. The majority of episodes did not do super well, and with the stress of keeping up a failing project, ended animating the show half way through, though finished what he had. The success of the show was tipped upside down with the 11th episode Theif Reel, released going viral on Youtube and Tik Tok, raking up 60 million views in 2 weeks. Despite the sudden success of the show and pressure from fans, James did not press to work on a second series

In late 2023, his mind changed, and officially formed Octopus Animation to create more Deadwhearhouce Content. The starting off point would be the movie Deadwhearhouce 2099, a spin-off film that took place in 2099 about an older Jackinton. The film was released on July 18th 2025 and bombed at the box office, killing the Deadwhearhouce franchise for the foreseeable future. At the time it received terrible reviews from fans and critics, calling it a pointless and confusing direction for the franchise, but has since grown a cult following
