Founded by Jonathan Stern, Abominable Pictures is the production company behind popular comedy series including Murderville (Netflix) “Wet Hot American Summer” (Netflix),“Children’s Hospital” (Adult Swim), and “Burning Love” (Hulu).

The first show to launch from the slate is “Brewster High” -- which premiered today, January 10th.

They do some digging, uncovering mysteries that don't quite add up -- a Frisbee gambling ring, a biker gang (well, dad cyclists), a rigged talent show and all sorts of torrid affairs. As our crew gets consumed by their quest for the truth, their personal lives struggle but they gain good material for their college application essays.

The first three episodes of “Brewster High,” executive produced by Stern and Keith Quinn, are available now with new episodes releasing every Tuesday on and all major podcast platforms. Listen now, .
