Maddox and Friends

***Maddox and Friends*** is an animated series on the MaddoxProductions1 YouTube channel. The passion project of Will Maddox, it stars him as an animated version of himself, along with his siblings Adam Maddox and Holly Maddox as their own cartoon counterparts. The series centers around them as the titular Maddoxes, along with numerous friends they make over time, going in extraordinary adventures, from meeting a man with no face, to exposing a crazy asylum, to meeting and escaping aliens.

The main show first began in 2013, and is still ongoing through trials and tribulations. The first series was released throughout 2013 and 2014, consisting of ten episodes. This was directly followed by a shorter second series of four episodes that ran through 2014 and into 2015. After a short hiatus, with only one 2016 short in between, a third series began release in 2019 and 2020, with more episodes due for release. During the series an animated pilot from 2011 was released on 1 May 2014.

The first series consisted on ten episodes and the second consisted of only four, however the second series episodes had an extended runtime.

The third series notably lost the majority of its original cast relying on archive recordings of many of the beloved characters. The only returning actors were Will Maddox and Adam Maddox. The series introduced new character Huw as a love interest for Will. Flem Duck also returned now voiced by Will Maddox himself. For legal reasons.

Released a long side each series were officially designated shorts and clips. The distinction is decided by Will Maddox himself, however the shorts usually had a narrative whereas the clips did not.
