“Undone” was given a straight to series order back in 2018 and is created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg and Kate Purdy (“BoJack Horseman”).

A talented cast including Rosa Salazar (“Alita: Battle Angel“) and Bob Odenkirk (“Better Call Saul“) will lead the series as Alma and Jacob. When the former comes to recognize her powers in manipulating time, she uses her ability to unhinge the truth behind her father’s death.

Given Bob-Waksberg and Purdy’s own history with a series like “BoJack Horseman,” the trailer already strikes the tone that this animation won’t be flippant about the sensitive, difficult subject matter. The Netflix series has always been praised for its writing, and specifically for how the series deals with addiction, mental health, and identity while under the guise of popping animated cartoon. “Undone” is bound to follow suit.
Here’s the official synopsis, teaser trailer, and full-length trailer:
“Undone” explores the elastic nature of reality through its central character, Alma. After getting into a near-fatal car accident, Alma discovers she has a new relationship with time and uses this ability to find out the truth about her father’s death.
