Don't Hug Me I'm Scared Returns for Second Season
After a two-year hiatus, the surreal web series Don't Hug Me I'm Scared has resurfaced with a teaser for a second season. Created in 2011 by British directors Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling, the series was funded through a Kickstarter campaign. It follows three puppets—Yellow Guy, Green Guy, and Red Guy—in a twisted parody of children's television, blending puppetry, claymation, and 3D animation. Each episode explores universal concepts like creativity, time, and love through sinister characters, culminating in metaphysical chaos. The series offers a critique of mass media and consumerism, with subliminal messages and hidden references. The new season will air on television and is produced by Conaco, Conan O'Brien's production company.
