Presented as **"Absurdaverse**,**"** the project is described as an interconnected satirical comedy universe that will encompass an animated series and a narrative-focused **AAA**open-world video game. ## Cast of comedians and Netflix event for the reveal of Dan Houser’s game and Netflix series To bring this crazy universe to life, **Dan Houser**and his longtime partner, legendary screenwriter **Jeffrey "Lazlow" Jones**(the iconic voice of **GTA** radio), have recruited a veritable army of comedians and stand-up actors.

[Actors such as Ari Matti, Annie Lederman, Yamaneika Saunders, and Steph Tolev are also confirmed for the cast](https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/dan-houser-absurdverse-tv-show-video-game-cast-1236726823/) , which is expected to feature “hundreds” of voices when the game and series launch. ## The DNA of GTA is alive The partnership between **Dan Houser**and **Lazlow**was responsible for some of the most beloved in-game media in video game history. They were the ones who created the **TV** shows and cartoons we watched on the **TVs**in **GTA 4**and **Grand Theft Auto 5**, such as "**Princess Robot Bubblegum**" and "**Republican Space Rangers**." According to **Lazlow**, **Absurdaverse**is the natural evolution of that tradition. The idea is to take these ridiculous characters and expand their stories, crossing the barrier between the animated series and the game’s open world. In short, **Absurd Ventures** has not yet revealed the release dates or the platforms (consoles/PC and streaming services) that will host the game and the series. **Check out:**[“I can’t wait for the new one”: Erling Haaland reveals hype for GTA 6 in new video](https://viciados.net/erling-haaland-hype-gta-6-video/) Do you like **Portal Viciados**?
