You might think that new stuff is happening to the Dumb Ways to Die brand this year with Dumb Ways to Die 4 ready to be released on mobile next month on the second of May, Bean Land getting ready to be launched soon, Playside Studios teaming up with Netflix Games to bring out another DWtD mobile game “Dumb Ways to Survive” and more stuff that keeps happening to the brand with not only new mobile apps but new merchandise, board games, a card game called “Dumb Ways to Die: Card Game” and the developers are in talks with a streaming service that brings an upcoming Dumb Ways to Die TV series. But will there be a series of spin-offs to the up-and-coming DWTD TV show? I think there will be new spin-offs of the upcoming DWTD TV show, because this idea may think that will be perfect as DWTD: Dumb Choices or Dumb Ways to Die 4!

A Familiar Name and Focus of a New Series Spin-off

Now if you remembered watching “King of The Hill” on Fox or a streaming service, you’ve probably thought that you’ve liked King of The Hill or you liked Dumb Ways to Die (if you’re a DWTD fan of course). Well, a new name for a new TV series spin-off of the upcoming DWTD TV series should be called “Bean of The Dumb” or it should be titled “Dumb Ways to Die: Bean of The Dumb” because it fits well for the title.

The new spin-off series, “Bean of The Dumb” is actually based on King of The Hill and the actual Dumb Ways to Die series, which is currently owned the the current DWtD developers, Playside Studios themselves. The series focuses on five dumb beans that we all know and love as favorite characters, Putz, Stupe, Mishap, Botch and Dimwit going on various adventures in Dumbville or in the Dumb World and still doing dumb and dangerous things, because these cute little critters all do dumb things. Sometimes, this series might feature Numpty, Bozo, Loopy or other beans as additional characters, yet Putz, Dimwit, Botch, Stupe and Mishap will be the five main characters of the series.

How the main and additional characters speak in the series

You might have thought that the beans in the DWtD series could speak (usually like Ninny in the DWtD music video), but you think that the beans can only make noises, grunts or sounds like in the DWtD series. The language consisted of grunts, noises and sounds. Although, the beans couldn’t speak English like humans do in real life. They only speak with body language or a simple exclamation.

Should “Bean of The Dumb” be a new Hulu original series?

Well, maybe it should. This should be easy. Well, the episodes should be 35 minutes longer, the episode titles might have puns or jokes like how DWtD 1, 2 or 4 should have. Maybe create an intro to the series or end credits. It should feature different voice actors for the beans. Add music to some episodes, put blood, dumb deaths and think of many dumb ways to die for the beans if you put a TV rating that is only for mature audiences… And now, you’ve decided to think of that idea of yourselves and it should be a new Hulu original series and a new spin-off series of the upcoming Dumb Ways to Die TV series. Which is why that I will be sending an email about the idea to PlaySide Studios and submitting the idea to the Hulu community sooner or later.

In conclusion, “Dumb Ways to Die: Bean of The Dumb” will be the first animated Hulu original series and will be the first spin-off TV series of the upcoming Dumb Ways to Die TV series, because this is one of the ideas that I have thought of. Now, I think that it might be time to send and submit this idea to PlaySide Studios and the Hulu community. So, I hope that you’ve enjoyed reading this post!
