Screen Rant has an exclusive clip from the premiere episode of the new Paramount+ series The Harper House. The first three episodes of the animated comedy premiere exclusively on the streaming site on September 16. Paramount+ is home to a number of animated series including early 2000s favorites like SpongeBob SquarePants and As Told By Ginger and new series such as the Rugrats reboot and the upcoming Star Trek: Prodigy.
The Harper House is an animated adult comedy centered around the wacky Harper family. The trailer for the Paramount+ series introduced the family who have their lives upended when the head of the household, Debbie Harper, loses her high-paying job. To save money, the family is forced to move into their inherited Victorian house on the poor side of their Arkansas town.
Watch the exclusive clip from the series premiere of The Harper House below. The clip shows Debbie deciding to throw a party at their house to meet their new neighbors. This seems to be a change from the usual venue - the country club the family previously frequented. The clip hints at the family dynamics of the show as well as the changes they will have to face with their new situation. However, they seem to be embracing their fate with a positive attitude so far.
The cast of The Harper House includes Rhea Seehorn (Better Call Saul) as Debbie Harper, the "overconfident female head of the household"; Jason Lee (My Name is Earl) as her husband Freddie; and Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black) and Ryan Flynn (China, IL) as twins Ollie and Todd. VyVy Nguyen, Lance Krall, Roberta Colindrez, Tessa Skara, John “Spud” McConnell, Chris Diamantopoulos, Joanna Hausmann, Gabourey Sidibe, Nyima Funk, and Gary Anthony Williams also voice characters in the series. The Harper House was created by Brad Neely who previously worked on South Park and created the animated Adult Swim comedy China, IL.
