Harvey Beaks is an American animated television series created by C. H. Greenblatt for Nickelodeon.
Greenblatt had previously created the show Chowder for Cartoon Network and had started to develop his next project shortly after it ended in 2010.
Greenblatt was looking to create a series with a different vibe from Chowder, which was largely absurdist and comical in nature, by telling stories that had more heart and emotional connection with the audience.
Bad Seeds was eventually picked up for a full series in September 2013, but had to change its name halfway through production due to trademark issues.
As with Greenblatt's previous show, Harvey Beaks features child actors providing the voices for the younger characters, with the exception of major characters Dade and Princess Roberts (voiced by C. H. Greenblatt and Andres Salaff respectively).
Additionally, he confirmed that the remaining episodes would air on Nicktoons, which he had not been aware of until seeing a Twitter post from Nickelodeon.
[citation needed] Issue one of the Harvey Beaks comic by Stefan Petrucha was due for release on January 26, 2016.
