The show follows a group of humans turned into computer-animated cartoon characters, trapped inside a digital land themed after circus tropes and childhood toys. The world is overseen by an eccentric A.I. named Caine, and his loyal assistant Bubble. An anxious woman named Pomni is the newest human to enter the circus, taking the form of a jester and searching for an exit.
Following worries and doubts managing creative projects with other people on a large scale,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6d6kTKIW60 Gooseworx was contacted by GLITCH with the offer to develop an animated series under them following the release of Little Runmo. Gooseworx pitched 3 different concepts before settling on Digital Circus, an idea inspired by the post-apocalyptic short story "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream", PC games of the 1990's, and early CGI character renders.
Several teasers and trailers were released months in advance, generating interest. The pilot for The Amazing Digital Circus was uploaded on October 13, 2023, and was met with immediate acclaim outside of the pre-established Glitch Productions audience, reaching over 100 million views within four weeks.
