Animated series 'Doomsweepers' skips network greenlight, goes straight to crowdfunding

Flying Bark and Lightfold have launched a public crowdfunder for 'Doomsweepers,' a horror-comedy from creator Sarah Harper about misfit janitors in a research facility. A YouTube trailer serves as the pitch — no pilot has been ordered. Deadline reported the launch on 10 August 2026. Lightfold, co-founded by Olan Rogers, previously crowdfunded the 'Godspeed' pilot, which drew over 2.2 million YouTube views.
