FXX's Cake Is Loaded with Comedic Calories

We have a whole buffet for you.

Cake&nbsp;is a handcrafted assortment of bite-sized shorts carefully curated and served up as a tasty treat for the mind. Featuring a diverse array of narratives from storytellers both new and established, this half-hour weekly showcase features live-action and animated comedy programs of varied length that are equal parts thought-provoking, laugh-inducing, artistic, authentic and raw. (Not to mention, totally gif-able!)Each of this season’s 10 episodes features Reza Farazmand’s&nbsp;Poorly Drawn Lines, an animated program spotlighting the fantastical misadventures of Ernesto (Tony Revolori), Tanya (D’Arcy Carden) and Kevin (Ron Funches)—20-something best friends navigating early adulthood in a world where the strange and surreal are an everyday thing. Based off the comic of the same name,&nbsp;Poorly Drawn Lines&nbsp;is produced by Floyd County Productions and Fish Ladder Productions.Also prominently featured this season&nbsp;is Branson Reese’s&nbsp;Swan Boy,&nbsp;an animated program based off the comic of the same name from executive producers Alex Plapinger and Augenblick Studios.&nbsp;Swan Boy&nbsp;focuses on an anthropomorphic 20-something swan of low station and (in his finest moments) medium intelligence, who gets into trouble ranging from the mundane to the fantastic to the surreal.Season five also features animated&nbsp;Beings&nbsp;from creator Dan Britt and executive producer Alex Plapinger; live-action&nbsp;The Dream&nbsp;starring Gary Richardson (Saturday Night Live) and Ana Fabrega (Los Espookys), from&nbsp;creators Alan Resnick, Dina Kelberman and Robby Rackleff, plus executive producer Alex Plapinger; and live-action&nbsp;Words with Ike&nbsp;from executive producers Ikechukwu Ufomadu and Graham Mason, to name just a few programs.There’s something for everyone and plenty to go around when&nbsp;Cake&nbsp;returns for its animation-focused fifth season Thursday, September 30, 2021 at 10:00p ET/PT on FXX. Both the weekly showcase and individual programs will also be available to FX subscribers through FXNOW, and streaming the next day via FX on Hulu.&nbsp;Cake&nbsp;is produced by FX Productions.
