The Spooks

The Spooks is an American adult animated horror comedy television series created by Ralf Hat that originally aired on Kingson from September 9, 2002 to March 3, 2003. It tells the story of an underachiever named Aaron Patterson, who finds himself revived as a ghost when his insufficient, miserable life meets a tragic end. The series was shortly conceived by Ralf Hat while was working on the second season of Kitchen at the time. Whilst several writers on Kitchen went on to help Hat with the concept's production. The show only lasted one season on Kingson, before being abruptly cancelled due to low ratings and viewership. Vision acquired the rights to The Spooks and began airing reruns in 2005, and it went on to develop a cult following as a result. Seeing potential in the show, the network revived the series five years after its initial cancellation, with the original cast returning to reprise their roles and Hat returning as showrunner. A total of 113 episodes aired over the course of its eleven seasons, and the show officially concluded on November 7, 2017.
