Babelgum continues to build out its push into original web series, announcing a handful of new developments today including a two-year exclusive licensing deal with web comedy powerhouse Funny or Die. As part of the deal, Babelgum is getting the mobile rights to Funny or Die’s video content, like its tentpole Will Ferrell The Landlord videos and Good Cop Baby Cop.
Kicking that off, Lawson disclosed three new series coming out this summer, all developed with Fuel Industries. Headlining the list is The Sensible Guy’s Guide to Travel starring comedian Dave Foley (Kids in the Hall) which premieres next month. The other two are The Carolers and animated series Larry the Labrat.
