Split (TV series)

Split is an animated fantasy comedy-drama series created by Dana Terrace for Warner Bros. Animation for HBO Max. Starring the voices of Kari Wahkgren, Grey DeLisle, Janice Kaywze, Corey Burton, Candi Milo, and Lara Jill Miller, the series centers on the lives and struggles of the kids of an interdimensional divorced couple.

Loosely inspired by the Cartoon Network pilot Splitting Time, Terrace wanted to create a series thst was "similar in concept, but also very different". In order to accompkish this, she used interdimensional travel instead of time travel, and went for a more dramstic tone, with a "realistic and three-dimensional" focus on the divorce aspect. Terrace consulted with several divorced couples in order to include an accurate potrayal of divorce. Animation services were provided by Rough Draft Korea and Don Yang Animation.

Split was released on HBO Max in January 5, 2031, and was met with pisitive reviews, who lauded its potrayal of divorce, humor, characters, visuals, and animation. The series earned a Peabody Award for Children's & Youth Programming.
