The goal is to broaden the range of films that Illumination makes beyond the.
It's a shame because "Bad Crimes" sounded like a no-brainer for the streamer, especially with Nicole Byer as a leading voice, as she hosts their wildly popular "Nailed It!" and just starred in her own comedy special for the platform. Illumination, the studio behind the Despicable Me franchise, has tapped Mike Moon to form a new label, Moonlight. Moon's history at companies like Disney Television Animation, Sony Pictures Animation, and Cartoon Network, allowed Netflix to land massive deals with folks like Alex Hirsch ("Gravity Falls"), Pen Ward ("Adventure Time"), and Shion Takeuchi ("Inside Job"), and it's clear Netflix hasn't figured out how to fill the void just yet.
Former Netflix Head of Adult Animation, Mike Moon, called "Bad Crimes" a "dream project," but Moon exited the company last July to start an adult-focused extension of Illumination Entertainment at Universal called "Moonlight." Netflix's adult animation fare has been up-in-the-air ever since his departure. According to a source secured by The Wrap, the cancellation of "Bad Crimes" was a result of the streamer's change in leadership and slate of original programming.
