Eddsworld (capitalized as EDDSWORLD in the official title design) is a British[3][4] Flash-animated web series created by Edd Gould. Since premiering on 6 June 2003, the series has been published through Newgrounds, DeviantArt, KZbin, Albino Blacksheep, Tumblr, The BBC, SheezyArt,[5] and their official website.[6]
Following Gould's death on 25 March 2012,[3] Thomas Ridgewell (the former voice actor of Tom) became the series' new showrunner, launching a crowdfunding campaign to continue the show titled Eddsworld: Legacy.[7][8][9] Preceding the release of Eddsworld: Legacy's final episode, Ridgewell announced he was leaving the show and handing control of the series to Matthew Hargreaves (voice actor of Matt) and Gould's family.[9][10] To this day, Hargreaves remains as the last original member of the foursome working on the series.
On 1 January 2017, the show's website went back online with new Eddsworld comics written and illustrated by Matt Hargreaves. On 1 August 2020, a new short titled "Fan Service 2" was released to kick off a new era of the show called Eddsworld Beyond, with Hargreaves as showrunner.[11] As of February 2023, the Eddsworld KZbin channel has more than 4 million subscribers.[12]
At the time of Gould's death, his KZbin channel had the most subscribers in the comedian category for the United Kingdom and was the 4th most viewed comedian in the United Kingdom. Eddsworld was noticed by the organisers of the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference who commissioned an episode about climate change, used in the opening ceremony of the conference.[13][14]
Eddsworld follows the misadventures of a group of young adult "morons" living together in a house somewhere in the United Kingdom: Edd, an artist obsessed with Coca-Cola; Tom, a jaded nihilist and alcoholic who lacks eyeballs (It is constantly debated by the fandom whether he has eyes, or if they're just completely black); Matt, a dim-witted narcissist; and (prior to his departure) Tord, a trigger-happy Norwegian addicted to hentai. The series is generally episodic, and typically has little, if any, continuity between episodes
