Little Demon is an animated comedy series that premiered on FXX in August 2022. The show centers around a young girl named Chrissy who lives in Delaware with her mom Laura. On Chrissy's 13th birthday, her father Satan shows up unexpectedly, revealing that he is literally the Devil and Chrissy is actually a half-demon. Chrissy had believed her father abandoned her and her mom when she was a baby. Now Satan wants to develop a relationship with the daughter he never knew.
Chrissy struggles with suddenly being thrust into the world of demons and witchcraft. She has supernatural powers that she is still learning to control. Chrissy attends middle school with her best friends Marina and Jayden. She tries to navigate the ups and downs of adolescence while also coming to terms with her demonic heritage. Satan moves into Chrissy's home town of Boring Springs in order to get to know his daughter, much to Laura's chagrin. Laura wants Chrissy to live a normal life and resists the influence of Satan in their lives.
The show has an irreverent tone, mixing the supernatural premise with relatable teen drama. Chrissy enjoys texting, hanging with friends, and complaining about her parents like a typical 13-year-old. But she also possesses abilities like pyrokinesis and shape-shifting that set her apart. Chrissy's friends know her secret but accept her for who she is. Satan acts like an overeager dad trying to bond with his long lost child, even though his plans tend to cause mayhem. He has a mischievous streak but ultimately wants what is best for Chrissy.
Little Demon features the voice talents of Aubrey Plaza as Laura, Danny DeVito as Satan, and Lucy DeVito as Chrissy. The animation style has a dark edge to match the show's macabre sense of humor. Boring Springs is full of eccentric characters both human and demonic. Chrissy navigates adolescence while trying to figure out whether to embrace or reject her evil ancestry.
The show balances relatable teen stories like school crushes and friend drama with outrageous supernatural hijinks. Chrissy struggles to fit in and make the right choices while Satan stirs up trouble. Laura acts as the rational voice trying to give Chrissy a sense of normalcy. But the pull of Chrissy's demonic powers is strong. Little Demon offers a twist on the coming-of-age genre by filtering it through the lens of horror and occultism.
Little Demon is a series that ran for 1 seasons (10 episodes) between August 25, 2022 and on FXX
