As the release date of the Netflix animated series approaches My dad is a bounty hunter, the streamer is moving forward at full speed to tease us with an intergalactic adventure. A new trailer was released today to highlight the story: two children discover their nondescript father is actually a bounty hunter who works off-Earth. Not only that, he is one of the coolest in his line of work and is famous throughout the galaxy.
Back in December, we released an exclusive 3-minute clip showing how a typical day in Terry’s life goes (voiced by Laz Alonso) goes when he collects the reward. Now, the new trailer reveals some of the other side of the series, especially when it comes to how Terry’s work impacts his family life. His absence prompts his children to sneak into his car to spend the day with him, but they discover much more than they planned.
The owner of the house cannot be in a galaxy far, far away.
The trailer also shows that the forced quality time spent by father and kids won’t come without risk, as Terry is used to throwing himself on life-threatening missions. He quickly realizes that if he wants to bring his children back to Earth safely, he will have to be extra careful in every corner of the universe he visits. Plus, the kids will make him realize that some of his enemies are actually cute little aliens.
My dad is a bounty hunter created Everett Downing and Patrick Harpin. In an official statement, the showrunner duo revealed that the series is a tribute to children’s adventures such as Goonies and ET But not only that: they also mention that they want their show to deviate from traditional family stories and have the father take some responsibility. The showrunners also want to explore the love relationship between a father and his children, which is not portrayed as often.
