Netflix has greenlit a new workplace sitcom called Dealies, written and show‑run by Joe Bennett, co‑creator of Scavengers Reign, and Ted Travelstead, former supervising producer on The Great North. The series follows the quirky staff of a big‑box retail store named Dealies. Bennett’s prior series, Common Side Effects, blends comedy with heartfelt drama for viewers of all ages and skill.

Green Street Pictures, Bennett’s animation studio, will handle the show’s production, echoing its work on Scavengers Reign and Common Side Effects. Key art reveals expressive, oversized character heads and surreal opening credits that hint at deeper narrative layers. Despite its sitcom premise, Dealies promises the blend of humor and emotional depth fans enjoyed in Bennett’s earlier work for late comedy.

Netflix plans to release Dealies in 2027, positioning it alongside the network’s growing slate of animated originals. With Bennett’s track record of mixing levity with genuine character arcs, the series could appeal to audiences who favor sitcoms with substance. The show’s arrival underscores Netflix’s continued investment in diverse animated storytelling, expanding its catalog beyond genre‑specific titles for late comedy fans.
