Dead End: Paranormal Park is Netflix's newest venture coming this Pride month.
"Based on Hamish Steele’s horror-comedy graphic novels DeadEndia and web short Dead End, Dead End: Paranormal Park follows the adventures of Barney, Norma and magical-talking-dog Pugsley, as they balance their summer jobs at the local theme park haunted house while battling the totally real supernatural forces that dwell within it. Together with their guide to the underworld multiplane, a sardonic thousand-year-old demon named Courtney, they'll face zombie mascots, demonic game show hosts, sleep-sucking witches and the scariest thing of all: their first crushes!"
Trans actor Zach Barack voices the central transgender character, Barney. Alan Cumming, Angelica Ross, C Nelson, Kemah Bob, MJ Roridguez, Sam Jay, Taylor "Effy" Gibson, Tom Lenk, and Z Infante also star in the series.
It will even feature a special musical episode with songs written by Patrick Stump, the lead vocalist of pop-punk band Fall Out Boy!
Dead End: Paranormal Park premieres June 16 on Netflix. Scroll down for first-look images:
