The series follows a single mother of two, who struggles to run a haunted hotel with the help of her estranged brother, who is now one of the ghosts and thinks the other ghosts have some pretty good ideas.

Roller, who created the series, recently served as co-exec producer on Harmon’s Fox series Krapopolis, and has also worked on series including Mr. Mayor and The Goldbergs. He will serve as showrunner.

He will also exec produce alongside Harmon, Chris McKenna (Spider-Man: No Way Home), and Steve Levy (Rick & Morty). Erica Hayes (Rick & Morty) will serve as supervising director.

The Undervale is the latest animation series set at the streamer. It comes as its long-running series Big Mouth was renewed for an eighth and final season, set to premiere in 2025. Spinoff Human Resources was also recently canceled. It also has Love, Death & Robots, which was renewed for a fourth season and Blue Eye Samurai, which was renewed for a second season.

The streamer also launched Good Times last month and the second half of Mulligan earlier this month.

“I’m thrilled to be working with Netflix and an amazingly talented cast and crew to bring to life the stories of the dead, the evil, and the struggling hospitality workers at the Undervale Hotel,” said Roller.

“The Undervale is wildly inventive and I’m very grateful to Matt, Chris, Dan and their team for bringing their talents to Netflix,” said Billy Wee, Netflix Director of Adult Animation. “They are phenomenal collaborators and I can’t wait for fans all over the world to experience this hilarious show.”

Roller is repped by CAA, Entertainment 360, and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller, Gellman, Meigs & Fox.

Coldplay have become the first act in history to headline Glastonbury five times – playing a record-breaking set to a huge, sparkling audience for whom it felt like coming home. Thousands in the crowd will no doubt have seen them at least once here before, but no matter - they have their detractors, but you cannot argue with the fact Chris Martin's band can put on a headline performance worthy of Worthy Farm. Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis was among the special guests watching stage-side as they performed to a crowd stretching way back into the night, and they were also joined by stars and musicians including rapper Little Simz on stage.
