Introducing The Cabonauts

In the year 2183, humanity has conquered space; however, the vast distances between the various human colonies and outposts still need to be traversed; fortunately, if one needs to get from Earth to the outer rim, it is not a problem, just call a cab. Harry (Norm Thoeming) and his best friend Cyril (Hayden Black) are a pair of cabbies who work for Cabonauts, Inc. Each week they try to eek out a meager existence in a depressed economy by taking their passengers across the galaxy.

The Cabonauts is a sci-fi musical comedy from Goodnight Burbank creator Hayden Black. Each episode will feature an original musical performance as-well-as familiar genre actors guest-staring as the cab customers. Sci-fi veteran Erin Gray, star of the 80’s sci-fi classic, Buck Rogers, serves as the series casting director and is responsible for lining up the show’s iconic guest stars. Some of the guest stars scheduled to appear on the show are Miracle Laurie (Dollhouse), John Barrowman (Torchwood), and James Leary (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). The show also features sci-fi legend Nichelle Nichols as the Cabonauts’s CEO, CJ, who spends a good deal of her time arguing with a clone of her grandmother’s brain, which she keeps in a jar on her desk.

The series is scheduled to debut later this year on Dailymotion (it’s like YouTube but with naked people), which has a deal with Evil Global Corp, Black’s production company, to air the series. The first season will contain 15 episodes, each airing first exclusively on Dailymotion. Dailymotion has previously stated an interest in showcasing more original productions in an effort to compete with YouTube.
