Behind the fandom: The Amazing Digital Circus | BBC News

The Amazing Digital Circus, made by Australian studio Glitch Productions, has notched up hundreds of millions of views on the streaming site since it launched in 2023.

Glitch released the last two episodes of the series in cinemas around the world and, according to entertainment news website Deadline, made $6.8m at the US box office on its opening day.

Its distinctive, computer-generated visual style, humour and willingness to tackle emotional themes has made it a big hit with fans, and inspired a huge meme culture around the show online.

So who are the people behind the fandom?

BBC News’ Mel Ramsay speaks to the voice actors of popular characters Pomni and Jax, as well as cosplayer and YouTuber Kitty Monk and, of course, Glitch Productions themselves.
