The Strange Chores is a British animated television series that premiered on ABC Me on 31 October 2019. The series was created by Charlie Aspinwall and Daley Pearson, best known for their work on Bluey, and is a co-production between Ludo Studio and Media World Production.
The show centres around two teenage warrior-heroes (Charlie and Pierce) and a spirited ghost girl (Que) who master the skills they need to replace an ageing monster-slayer by doing his supernatural chores.
The third series premiered on ABC Family on 7 June 2024.[5]
Plot
[edit | edit source]Two teenagers, Charlie and Pierce, discover that their "kooky neighbour" Old Man Helsing's house at the end of their street is secretly a portal to supernatural worlds. Helsing thinks he might be getting too old for all his adventures, so he allows them to become his apprentices. A mischievous ghost girl, Que, joins them on their adventures as they complete Helsing's freaky, bizarre, and sometimes terrifying chores.[4]

Production
[edit | edit source]Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24". The Strange Chores is produced entirely in Australia by Ludo Studio and Media World Production, with animation provided by 12Field Animation using Toon Boom Harmony. Production on the first series of the show took 95 weeks including over 5,000 scenes, 400 rigs, 500 props and 3000 background designs. Ludo aimed for an older audience for this show (8 to 12-years-old) when compared to their massively popular preschool series Bluey.[6]
The series was renewed for a second season.[7][8]
