The anticipated animated series gets a full trailer
27. April, 2025 - Written by Studio Countdown Newsroom
Studio Countdown proudly presents the official trailer for Countdown to Countdown, a new animated series set to release in late 2026. The series is based on the webcomic Countdown to Countdown by Velinxi (who is also known for critically acclaimed webcomic series such as Daughter of a Thousand Faces and DPS Only!).
Countdown to Countdown is the story of self-proclaimed inventor Iris Black, who lives in a correctional facility for Demifloras - humans with superhuman abilities. He is outcasted by his peers and his own mother for his inability to suppress his ability to bring his drawings to life. His chance to find a space where he can use his powers freely comes one night when a daring outsider sneaks into his sheltered home.
This new animated adaptation will bring Velinxi’s powerful storytelling to life with its unique art style made to be familiar to existing fans of the webcomic while also bringing the world of Countdown to Countdown to a whole new audience.
“We’re blown away by the amount of love and support we’ve received for this project, from Velinxi and from fans of her comics,” said Cedric Kim, executive producer and founder of Studio Countdown. “We started as a group of friends chipping away at this animated adaptation as a fun way to build upon our favorite webcomic. We never expected to be noticed by Vel, and we certainly never expected our project to grow so quickly. I’m incredibly excited to reveal this new trailer to give all the fans a glimpse of what we’re working on.”
The trailer for the animated series is available on YouTube at https://youtube.com/watch?v=tV7wmkPqugk and is the first long-form preview officially released by Studio Countdown.
