In this week’s episodes of Freeform’s adult animated comedy Praise Petey, our hapless cult-inheriting heroine continues her quest to break the obedient, human sacrifice-y mold left behind by her father. And we’ve got the clips to prove it!
The third and fourth episodes of Season 1 premiere Friday, July 28 at 10 p.m. ET, available to stream on Hulu the next day.
“We Need $30” — Petey and Eliza team up to get to the bottom of New Utopia’s finances and raise enough money to get medicine for a sick Mae Mae ― without resorting to recruiting new cult members. How hard could it be for an educated city girl to make $30?
“Father’s Knee” — Petey discovers that her father used to have his own local magazine, inspiring Petey to revive it and make it her own. She chooses Bandit for her cover story to prove she’s open to dissent.
Created by former SNL head writer Anna Drezen, Praise Petey follows an NYC “It Girl” whose well-curated life comes crashing down. As luck would have it, a mysterious gift from her deceased father gives her a new lease on life — taking over as leader of his small-town cult New Utopia. As Petey leans into her new role as a “girl boss,” she discovers what it means to be a leader and how to find her voice as she tries to modernize her late father’s small-town cult.
The voice cast is led by Annie Murphy (Schitt’s Creek) as Petra “Petey” St. Barts; Christine Baranski (The Good Fight) as her mother, White St. Barts; Stephen Root (Barry) as Father; John Cho (Star Trek) as local hunk Bandit; Kiersey Clemmons (The Flash) as Eliza; and Amy Hill (Magnum P.I.). S1 guest stars include Alan Tudyk and Alfred Molina.
In addition to Dresden, the series is executive produced by Bandera Entertainment’s Mike Judge, Greg Daniels and Dustin Davis, along with ShadowMachine’s Alex Bulkley and Corey Campodonico (Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio) and Monica Padrick (Central Park). The series is produced by Disney Television Studios’ 20th Television Animation, with animation by ShadowMachine.
