Electric City is an animated, post-apocalyptic, science fiction, web series published through Yahoo!. It was released July 17, 2012 and for now contains 20 short episodes totaling 90 minutes in length. Erin McPherson, vice president and head of video for Yahoo, claims this is a first project in what will be known as online digital blockbusters. The series stars the voices of Tom Hanks, Holland Taylor, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Antoon, Chris Parnell, Joey Kern, Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, and Georg Stanford Brown.
Created by Tom Hanks, the series begins after the world has ended. Electric City represents peace and security in the midst of rubble. Even though it seems to be an orderly utopia, there are still secrets, back-alley dealings, daring chases and murder.
The episodes are available to view for free on Yahoo.com. Episodes continue to be available to purchase through apps for iOS and Android devices.
Animation services for Electric City were provided by 6 Point Harness in Los Angeles under the direction of Joel Trussell.
Tom Hanks, Josh Feldman, and Bo Stevenson, all of whom voice characters, began writing Electric City in 2003 without intending it as necessarily a web series. Tom Hanks wrote the first story in 2003 on an Olivetti Lettera 22 typewriter. Tom Hanks said that during the development the idea was just worked and reworked at Playtone, Hanks' production company, without a production or distribution plan until Yahoo! purchased the distribution.
