About Otherly Productions

Otherly Productions is an independent transmedia entertainment studio and intellectual property incubator, also operating as Otherly Entertainment. Its work centres on developing fictional worlds that can expand across comics, television, film, interactive experiences and other media. The studio has an operational presence in London, New York and Los Angeles.

Its development approach brings together narrative writing, worldbuilding and production partnerships. Alongside comic books and vertical-scroll webcomics, its stated areas of development include mixed reality, audio drama and consumer merchandise. The company also develops and packages projects for animation, television, film and interactive games.

Stories across formats

The studio's recent work includes Bad Influence, a science-fiction thriller published as a WEBTOON Original in 2025. Developed in partnership with HiHi Studios, the series is written by Orson James and Roman Calais and illustrated by Jor Ros. The property was conceived as a transmedia franchise with scope for interactive experiences and screen adaptations, placing the comic within a broader development strategy.

Earlier projects include Thea, a science-fiction comic developed with writers Stephen Bell and J Brett VanderMale of Structure Fire and artist Dike Ruan. Its television development work includes Five Degrees, an original four-part drama project developed with screenwriter Sarah Page around 2021. These projects represent development and publishing activity across distinct formats; the television project is identified as being in development.

Creative partnerships and projects under the Otherly banner predate the incorporation of its UK legal entity in October 2018. As of the supplied November 2026 research, the company remains active, with serialized comic publishing providing a current public outlet for its original storytelling.
