THE APEX TIMES
Creator Yehudah Husband says the new series, titled "How We Got Over," draws on the tone of prior TV satire while focusing on the history and aftereffects of slavery.
A Louisville-based animator has released a new animated series that uses satire to examine slavery and its lasting impact, according to a report from Louisville Public Media on Monday. The series, called "How We Got Over," was released as a structured show format centered on how the legacy of slavery has shaped American life, the outlet reported.
In an interview cited by LPM, creator Yehudah Husband described the project as a blend of two recognizable satire styles, comparing it to "Weekend at Bernie’s" and "The Boondocks." Husband’s framing suggests the series is intended to use familiar comedic mechanics while tackling a subject that is broadly considered sensitive and historically consequential.
LPM identified Husband as the creator behind the series and emphasized that the show is rooted in Louisville. The report did not describe any specific production partners, studio location details, or funding sources beyond the creator’s local base.
The series release date is tied to Monday, June 22, 2026, the same day LPM published its account. Beyond the show’s concept and the creator’s comments about its comedic influences, the report did not provide additional details in the supplied materials about episode count, length, or whether the series is available across multiple streaming platforms or through other distribution channels.
The choice to tackle slavery through satire also raises practical questions about audience reach and community context, particularly given Louisville’s role as a cultural hub in Kentucky. How the series is marketed, where it is hosted, and what content guidance accompanies it may affect how local viewers and educators encounter the material.
For viewers seeking context on the show’s content, the most immediate next step is to review the episodes and any accompanying descriptions that the creator provides at the time of release. If additional information about production credits, distribution agreements, or content standards is later published, it would help clarify how the project is intended to be used and discussed.
