Crystal Planet is a new Sci-Fi/Noir animated series created by Ned Evett, Joe Satriani, and Brendon Small. The show is about Satchel Walker and Sarah Fortune, two young adults who have been marooned in time by a sentient electric guitar called The Time-Shredder. Through a series of high-stakes adventures, Satchel and Sarah try to return home by unlocking the millions of songs trapped within the Time-Shredder, and save the universe along with their troubled relationship. The guitar sounds of the Time-Shredder have been brought to life by series co-creator and guitar legend Joe Satriani.
It’s a universal story targeting the 18-49 key demographic. The central themes of Crystal Planet are individuality vs. conformity, innate talent vs. hard work, modern romantic relationships, and the concept of music literally taking us back and forth in time. Fans of Sci-Fi, classic rock music, guitar playing, and of course the millions of existing fans of series co-creators Joe Satriani and Brendon Small will instantly engage with the show and spread the word.
