Kermit and Gromit would have one of those silently strong friendships where they can always go to one another to get their grievances off their chests over a cup of iced tea or mug of regular tea.

Century 21 Films lockdown phenomenon Nebula-75 is due to air early next year in Japan and via cinemas too. However, without the coronavirus situation of the past 20 months the series may never have been. Intended to evoke a 1960s Supermarionation series that never actually existed, Nebula-75 began its life during the UK Coronavirus lockdown of 2020. When the team at Century 21 Films found their planned projects cancelled as a result of the global pandemic, they made the decision to attempt to produce something worthwhile using the resources they had to hand in the London flat where a number of them lived. Fortunately, thanks to their work on productions such as Thunderbirds: The Anniversary Episodes, Endeavour, and UK television advertisements, they had numerous puppets, props and models to hand. Nebula-75 was filmed by a crew of three who happened to already live together during a time when travel was made impossible, with other members of the Century 21 Films team lending their talents remotely. It was originally intended as a one-off production and premiered as a ten minute short, but the resulting film was received so warmly and passionately by online viewers that plans for further installments were soon made. A full length series of half hour episodes were produced throughout the course of 2020, introducing new vehicles and guest characters. Following the easing of lockdown restrictions, the team have also been able to leave their flat in order to continue production in more suitable studio premises. The result has been a second series of episodes that expand upon the scope and ambition of the original run. Transcending its lockdown origins, Nebula-75 has evolved into a fully fledged Supermarionation production in its own right. You can watch Season 1 of Neubula-75 on Amazon now and watch the first episode of Season 2 via Amazon Prime. #Nebula75 #FilmThreatPosters https://www.instagram.com/p/CXnOHi7LlrO/?utm_medium=tumblr
