LAMB CHOP’S BACK AND OUT FOR BLOOD! “LOVE SUCKS” THE SHOW WITH A LOT OF HEART AND THE BLOOD TO PROVE IT HITS THE SCENE

Hollywood

Ashwood Projects is proud to announce that its bold new supernatural romantic dramedy Love Sucks is officially in development and already in demand by networks and streaming platforms. The fully scripted first season is already generating industry buzz, with insiders calling it “The weirdest, most original comedy in the pipeline.” and “A genre-bending hit waiting to happen.”

From the brilliantly twisted mind of Suzie Vigon (puppeteer and performer) and Joshua Disney (Writer) “Love Sucks” is set in present-day Orlando and follows Mezmeralda Moonlight, a glamorous, immortal vampire and snarky daytime TV host, as she navigates modern love, ancient curses, and supernatural conspiracies, all with her lovable band of friends (Mallory Lewis, Lamb Chop, Brimstone and more).

Mixing musical numbers, puppetry, and laugh-out-loud comedy with heartfelt themes of identity and belonging, the series delivers a one-of-a-kind viewing experience that’s part Ally McBeal, part Supernatural, with a splash of Labyrinth-style whimsy.

The show features a powerhouse team of industry veterans, award-winning creatives as well as some-strong up-and-comers. Which include:

• Mallory Lewis – Emmy Award-winning puppeteer and daughter of Shari Lewis, continuing the legacy of Lamb Chop with iconic charm and cultural relevance, who also has a revealing documentary “Shari & Lamb Chop” about her mother and lamb chop’s rise to stardom being released in July of this year.

• Kathy Coleman – Beloved for her iconic role in Land of the Lost, joining the cast with nostalgic genre pedigree. The 13-episode first season is fully scripted and actively seeking network and distribution partners.

Designed with built-in merchandising opportunities, convention appeal, and multi-generational fan engagement, Love Sucks blends genre satire and serialized storytelling with a uniquely offbeat tone that’s ripe for fandom. With musical numbers, soap-opera cliffhangers, and characters ranging from vampires and werewolves to wacky game show hosts and celebrities, Love Sucks aims to charm audiences who crave something fiercely original.

Quotes:

“I am a huge fan of Suzie Vigon and her extraordinary talent in puppetry. Her creativity and joy shine through every project she touches, making her so easy to work with. Her puppetry and character designs draw you in, wanting you to discover the story behind each unique character she brings to life.

Suzie is dedicated, steadfast, determined, and always brings her best to every project, which is a quality that is truly important in our industry. I collaborated with her online during the pandemic , and it was clear, even then, how truly gifted she is. Her work speaks for itself, and I have no doubt that Suzie Vigon is destined for even greater success. I look forward to seeing all the incredible creations she has yet to share with the world.” - Puppet Legend, Sid Krofft

“Having spent my entire 62 years involved in production in one form or another, having an Emmy for outstanding writing in a children’s series as well as four more nominations, and having been one of the producers of Lamb

Chop’s Play-Along on PBS I can say with great confidence that both the production values and level of professionalism on Josh’s (AWP) sets is extremely high.

We finished our shoot ahead of schedule, (which in my experience means under budget), and the mood on the set was upbeat and highly creative.

Josh is extremely open to creative input, and a pleasure to work with and the rest of the crew, highly professional as well.”

Creative Producer and Actress, Mallory Lewis

"On a planet filled with humans, it’s a pleasure to be performing with puppet personality like my dear friend" - Television Icon and Emmy Winning Actress, Lamb Chop “Love Sucks is the kind of show I’ve always wanted to see. It’s a wild mash-up of puppets, vampires, dating

disasters, and real emotional depth, It’s weird, heartfelt, and totally unapologetic in its storytelling—and we’re building a team that can lean into every insane and beautiful moment of it." - Executive Producer and Writer, Joshua Disney“

I have worked with The Muppets including Jim Henson himself and I know story telling. LOVE SUCKS has all the elements of this and more; puppets in the real world, humor, drama, and characters you will not only care about but on many levels relate to.” - Director, Noel MacNeal

“Loving the vibe of, first time producer, Garrison [His Character] in Love Sucks. With his own language and vocabulary on a life changing date to darkness.” - Actor, Marcus Della Rosa
