Groundbreaking audio universe will feature characters and storylines crossing between shows in first-of-its-kind podcast experience

LOS ANGELES, Calif., February 16, 2022 — EXCLUSIVE:  Stewart St John, the award-winning television writer, Wonkybot co-founder and creator of the company’s award-winning podcasts and IP, has further expanded his Tremendous Universe with the announcement of Tremendous Boy, the first major spin-off from Wonkybot’s wildly successful flagship audio series Tara Tremendous. Created, written and directed by St John and co-executive produced by Wonkybot partners Michael Plahuta and Todd Fisher, Tremendous Boy revolves around Attamis Wa’Ru, aka Tremendous Boy, a mysterious eighteen-year-old who possesses extraordinary powers and hails from an alternate, dystopian universe where he struggles between good and evil as he serves the dark and ominous Lord Drykus of Barrington.

The new superhero/sci-fi scripted podcast series will premiere March 11 in a five-part mini-series comprised of short-form episodes available on wonkybot.com, all major podcast platforms and ad-free with a subscription to the Wonkybot Channel on Apple Podcasts.

“I’m thrilled to introduce audiences around the world to this complex and compelling new character in his very own audio series,” said St John, an avid comic book fan whose television and feature credits include Marvel’s Incredible Hulk, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Sabrina: The Animated Series and Seventeen Again. “I hope fans enjoy Tremendous Boy as much as I’ve enjoyed creating him!”

Tremendous Boy will drop new episodes on the same day new Tara Tremendous Season 4 shows become available. Following the conclusion of the five part mini-series – – which will be branded as “bonus content” —  Tremendous Boy will then appear in a multi-part story arc in Tara Tremendous. The character will finally return to his own show in a full-length, mind-blowing 8-episode season in late summer 2022.  Wonkybot has dropped a teaser trailer offering a first-listen of the mini-series in both audio and video format here:

The company has also revealed the logo and key art for the show, depicting a brooding Tremendous Boy wearing a dark blue costume with a “T” prominently displayed on his chest, set against a stormy galactic background.

The launch of Tremendous Boy is part of the company’s expansion into St John’s interconnected universe of characters and storylines that he’s been developing and creating for years. And, in a first for the scripted podcast world, storylines and characters from both Tara Tremendous and Tremendous Boy — as well as other St John shows currently in development — will flow into each other in a way never done before, giving fans the kind of cross-over experience primarily found in comic books, TV shows and feature films.

“We’ve been pushing the boundaries of cinematic audio storytelling at Wonkybot since we started producing these podcasts,” said producer Fisher, who oversees production on all Wonkybot shows. “Now, with the introduction of Tremendous Boy, we can build a shared audio universe much the same way Marvel has done with its Marvel Cinematic Universe.”

“Audio storytelling is the new comic book” said Plahuta, who, in addition to producing the series, co-scores every Wonkybot show with St John. “It’s a wonderful platform for a visionary like Stewart to showcase his unlimited imagination and create a foundation from which to further build the IP into series, books, movies and more.  We hope our fans across the world will embrace Tremendous Boy and all the new characters and stories coming to the Tremendous Universe with the same love and enthusiasm they’ve shown for Tara Tremendous, and help us build something incredible and long-lasting together.”

Wonkybot was one of the first to see the unlimited possibilities of audio storytelling back in 2015 when the company produced the first Tara Tremendous audio story. “Since then we’ve been building the Wonkybot brand with an audio-first strategy, telling stories that entertain and inspire,” added Fisher.

Wonkybot is simultaneously developing feature film and television projects based on the popular Tara Tremendous franchise. As previously announced, the company is developing St John’s Tara Tremendous musical feature with Marc Platt Productions, with 14 new songs composed by St John and Plahuta. The music partners previously launched a live musical concert based on songs they wrote, inspired by the Tara Tremendous podcast.

Tremendous Boy joins Wonkybot’s growing slate of high quality, genre-bending audio productions including the award-winning Tara Tremendous, Webby Award winner Origins Unknown, Spooky Troop, The Dr. Epicopolis & 1102 Show of Shows, Following Bliss, The Owlsteins, Superhero Confidential, Tara Tremendous Superhero Interviews and the upcoming Almost Epic co-starring The Nanny’s Lauren Lane.
