Fall Guys (British TV series)

Fall Guys (otherwise known as Fall Guys: The Animated Series and often shortened as simply FG) is a British-American animated television series created by Canadian writers, Jennifer Pertsch and Tom McGillis that is based off of the popular platform battle royal video game of the same name. The show premiered on both CBBC in the United Kingdom and Cartoon Network in the United States on September 3, 2022.
Like the duos' most famous show (Total Drama), the series is both a homage and satire of common conventions from reality television competition shows.
== Plot ==
Fall Guys is set in the fictional titular reality show, which follows the competition of 22 unsuspecting and unwitting contestants at Studio 2B, the most rundown and abandoned TV studio in an unspecified area in Lincolnshire, England. The contestants participate in competitions and challenges (based on several games from the video game that the show is based on) each week to avoid being voted out of the show by their fellow contestants and teammates. At the end of the series, the winning contestant will receive 250,000 "Show-Bucks" (their countries main currency).
The competition is hosted by Bean Analyst, assisted by the show's chef, Hunter who is also Bean's best friend despite being mistreated at times (Bean and Hunter are voiced by Christian Potenza and Clé Bennett respectively who are essentially reprising their roles as Chris McLean and Chef Hatchet from Total Drama).

Her naivety also leads to results of the downfalls of not only herself but also her teammates.

Rocket Ship 	Lee Hinchcliffe 	The Schemer 	TBA 	Rocket Ship comes off as being sarcastic, cynical, and a bit too lazy. He is extremely intelligent, growing up as a child prodigy, but finds physical activity as laughable as the ridiculous antics of some of his peers.
Candy Apple 	Novie Edwards 	The Sister with 'Tude 	TBA 	Candy Apple is loyal and sassy, yet also can be affectionate and caring. If shown respect, she will reciprocate it indefinitely. Candy tells it like it is and has no fear whatsoever of calling people out on their mistakes.

Sparkle-whal 	Emilie-Claire Barlow	The Type A 	TBA 	Sparkle-whal is a perfectionist who desires to be best at everything, and sees herself as a born leader.
