Disney+ has renewed “Monsters at Work” for a second season. The news was announced today at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in France.
Produced by Disney Television Animation, “Monsters at Work” is inspired by the world of Pixar’s Academy Award-winning “Monsters, Inc.” and introduces new monster characters alongside returning favorites.
“Monsters At Work” takes place the day after the Monsters, Incorporated power plant started harvesting the laughter of children to fuel the city of Monstropolis, thanks to Mike and Sulley’s discovery that laughter generates ten times more energy than screams. It follows the story of Tylor Tuskmon, an eager young monster who graduated top of his class at Monsters University and always dreamed of becoming a Scarer until he lands a job at Monsters, Incorporated, and discovers that scaring is out and laughter is in. After Tylor is temporarily reassigned to the Monsters, Inc. Facilities Team(MIFT), he must work alongside a misfit bunch of mechanics while setting his sights on becoming a Jokester.
In season two, Tylor’s journey as a Jokester and his friendship with Val face the ultimate test. The series’ star-studded cast, including Billy Crystal (Mike Wazowski), John Goodman (James P. “Sulley” Sullivan), Ben Feldman (Tylor Tuskmon) and Mindy Kaling (Val Little), will all be returning for the second season.
