The Long Dark

The Long Dark is an Russian-Swedish action adventure mystery horror animated series produced by Firebasket Studios and Ravenworks Studios Europe. It was first shown on Nickelodeon Family's Cartoon Madness, and RaGE picked it up as 9 episode miniseries. It was supposed to be aired in late 2016, but it was delayed due to problems in development and creative differences. Chaossy dropped out of the series in 2017 due to focusing on 1%. It was announced that the series will air in early 2018. Due to RaGE being shut down, the show will move to Axiom Prime.

Pilot
Writing for the pilot started in September of 2015, with a group of three friends at the RaGE Europe studios headlining the production. After some rewrites, the show was greenlit by the higher ups and a pilot started being produced. The pilot was initially 28 minutes, but was cut to 24 minutes due to television. The pilot aired on Cartoon Madness in March of 2016, with the time between March and September 2016 filled with negotiations falling through with Nickelodeon Family, and thus RaGE picked the series up for a miniseries.

Television series
Production for the television series started production in October of 2016 with Chaossy and the three friends writing the story, with animation already being made for every confirmed scene to make it in time for a Summer 2017 release. After just two weeks, the writing process took a hiatus and only seven minutes of footage throughout the first two episodes were 100% complete. Chaossy worked on the project on his downtime, while the three friends helped with the production of The One. Production continued in December of 2016, with the first episode being fully written and animation restarted. But just two months in, Chaossy dropped out of the production due to heavy workload on 1%. The three friends continued working on the show throughout the winter and spring, and formally announced in May of 2017 that the series have finished writing, and animation will resume shortly. It was announced in January of 2018 that the show will start airing on June 3, 2018 at 7PM Eastern.
