Olan Rogers

In 2016, he created a pilot that became the animated television show, Final Space. The series followed a rogue astronaut named Gary, and his sidekick, a planet-destroying alien named Mooncake, both of whom Rogers voiced. 10 episodes were released between February and April 2018 on TBS. The series was later added to Netflix overseas.[11] A second season was released in 2019 on Adult Swim.[12] Season 3 premiered on March 20, 2021.[13] Rogers ran the social media accounts for the show, including the official Twitter account, calling it a "good opportunity" to connect with fans.[14] In September 2022, Rogers revealed that Final Space would be leaving Netflix internationally in 2023, as part of a group of properties being written off by Warner Bros. Discovery for tax purposes.[15] Due to this, Season 3 would not be receiving physical copies, and all mention of the show would be erased from the platform. Nevertheless, Olan promised that he would continue fighting for the show to get a proper ending, under the hashtag "#renewfinalspace".[16][17] This eventually led to WB offering Olan a one-time license to publish a physical graphic novel for Final Space's ending.[18]

In June 2022, Rogers uploaded a trailer for his next project, an animation titled Godspeed, turning to Kickstarter to help fund it. The campaign was funded in just two hours, hitting 580% of its original goal.[19] The official Godspeed website later clarified that after various fees and cuts, the KS money could fund about 8-9 minutes of animation, so it would be a short instead.[20] This was followed up with an upload on November 18th,[21] discussing that while waiting for various shows he had pitched to start production, he had found a renewed passion for creating content outside of television or animation, after returning temporarily to Tennessee.
