#Lackadaisy (‽)
Not that unexpected as they've already announced working with Glitch's FinalFinal_Project for merch, but still quite unexpected as Season 1 has already been in the works for a while under Iron Circus Animation
This is just a partnership under their new "Glitch Presents" brand, only co-producing the show.
They emphasize it's still being made by the same core crew and VAs who did the original pilot and shorts -- Hazbin callout lol?
Still deep in production, with no release date yet
Glitch Presents is their new banner for shows they support without fully creating and funding themselves. Notably, Glitch Presents shows may be exclusive to streaming services, not released for free on YouTube.
Glitch Originals aren't changing though

#Glitch meta / my opinions
It's getting harder and harder to call Glitch truly indie now. Not all in a bad way, their production quality is amazing and it's nice they're supporting other projects.
But, not all in a good way, either. So far it seems like Lackadaisy is still the only other project they're working with, and that's still a big one imo—I'd put it third behind Glitch and SpindleHorse (Helluva/Hazbin). There's a LOT of much smaller aspiring pilots and shows too.
Over a year after it's initial announcement, Lackadaisy is still the only non-Glitch original show listed on FF_P, and now it officially has the Glitch logo on it too.
I'm also worried about the trend of their announcement videos. The first GlitchX in 2023 was a FOUR AND A HALF HOUR livestream of panels not just with Glitch properties, but several other indie creators.
In 2024, it was cut down to just one hour of pre-recorded content, but still very heavily featured other indie shows, even more so than the original.
Now, in 2025, it's been completely replaced by "Glitch Direct", a 13-minute video just talking about their own shows.
This feels like a very corporate move, and I hope this trend reverses *quickly*
