Article Summary

  • Women Wearing Shoulder Pads debuts tonight on Adult Swim with a double episode premiere at midnight ET/PT.
  • Created by Gonzalo Cordova, the stop-motion series features an all-woman cast and vivid 1980s style flair.
  • Produced with Cinema Fantasma, the Spanish-language show follows ambitious women in 1980s Quito, Ecuador.

We've been cheerleaders for the stop-motion animated series since we first got a chance to check it out back during the Annecy International Animation Festival in June. Now, we're only a few hours away from the premiere of series creator Gonzalo Cordova (Tuca & Bertie, Adam Ruins Everything), director Ana Coronilla, and series executive producers Roy Ambriz and Arturo Ambriz's (Cinema Fantasma) Women Wearing Shoulder Pads.

Created by Cordova and produced in partnership with Mexico City-based studio Cinema Fantasma (Frankelda's Book of Spooks), the series follows Marioneta, a proud, wealthy Spaniard living in 1980s Quito, Ecuador. There she encounters a diverse group of eccentric and ambitious women navigating the complicated worlds of love, family, and cuys. Featuring an all-woman cast, Women Wearing Shoulder Pads is produced entirely in Spanish with English subtitles.

Set to premiere globally on Cartoon Network's late-night programming block tonight at midnight ET/PT, we have an updated preview of what viewers can expect from tonight's two-episode debut. First up, we have the official trailer waiting for you above, with the official overviews for the first two chapters, a mini image gallery, and two sneak previews previously released by Adult Swim waiting for you below:
