Horrible Histories (US TV series)

Horrible Histories is an American sketch comedy & musical television series, part of the children's history books of the same name. An adaptation of the original CBBC series of the same name, it airs on ABC Family, with some of the episodes on Disney Channel.

Like its original British counterpart, the series maintains the franchise's overall irreverent but accurate focus on the dark, gruesome or scatological aspects of history, except it focuses more on American history. The cast for the series consists of students & members of Bigfoot Drama at Spokane Falls Community College in Spokane, Washington.

It is the franchise's first series to be made in America since the 2001 animated series.
