The animation studio behind The Cuphead Show is working on this adaptation. A year after reviving the Backyard Sports brand, Playground Productions is now working on the franchise's first animated special with one of the companies behind The Cuphead Show, Lighthouse Studios. Titled Sticky Situation, the 2D adaptation will be based around Backyard Baseball. Deadline reports that Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip, Bad Boys: Ride or Die) will voice Kiesha Phillips, while Arturo Castro (Tron: Ares, Narcos) will voice fan-favorite Pablo Sanchez. However, the Backyard Baseball animated short will seemingly focus on Stephane "Bubbles" Morgan, per the logline below. Longtime SNL actress Ego Nwodim will portray "Bubbles" and was most recently heard as Twiggy in Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie. Want us to remember this setting for all your devices? Now Playing: BACKYARD IS BACK! - Official Announcement Trailer "It's Opening Day at Steele Stadium. But team superstar Stephanie 'Bubbles' Morgan is in crisis. She's lost her gotta-have-it, never-play-without-it lucky bubble gum! With just 30 minutes until game time, the Backyard kids embark on a wild mission to track it down and save their season." Other cast members for the Sticky Situation special include Chris Mintz-Plasse (Superbad, Kick-Ass), Donald Faison (Clueless, Scrubs), Ashleigh Crystal Hairston (Craig of the Creek), and Adam Pally (Sonic the Hedgehog movies). Last year, Playground helped put out a remaster of Backyard Baseball '97. That's not the only Backyard Sports revival, either. Since then, Backyard Football '99, Backyard Baseball '01, and Backyard Soccer '98 have seen re-releases across PC and mobile devices. Looking ahead, Backyard Basketball '01 and Backyard Hockey '02 are planned for future remasters. The Sticky Situation animated special is set to premiere on the Backyard Sports YouTube channel as well as at Dave & Buster's locations in the US. There is no release date yet.
