Premise
[edit]The series follows Barney and Norma, the newest employees at their local theme park, Phoenix Parks, aDollywood-esque park created by the famous celebrity Pauline Phoenix.[10][11]Joined by Pugsley, Barney's childhood dog, and Courtney, a thousand-year-olddemon,they discover the world of the Paranormal as well as learning new things about themselves.[12]
Plot
[edit]Barney Guttman is the mainprotagonistof the series. He is a gay transgender teen boy who finds a new job as a security guard of Phoenix Parks. Barney has family problems. His grandmother doesn't accept the fact that he is trans. While it hasn't been made clear what his grandmother said to him, it was shown to be very hurtful. Barney's parents accept him for who he is, but do nothing when his grandmother begins verbally abusing him. Shortly after starting at his new job, Barney secretly moves in the Haunted House attraction with his dog, Pugsley. On the same day, Norma Khan is also starting her new job at Phoenix Parks as part of the security team. Norma is a 17-year-old autisticPakistani-Americangirl who is obsessed with all things Pauline Phoenix. Norma is very socially anxious, dreading social interaction, and has been shown to have panic attacks when overwhelmed.
After walking to the haunted house and entering, they meet Courtney, a demon who disguises herself as part of the attraction. Courtney is taking orders from Temeluchus, a member of the demon royal family. Temeluchus needs a vessel to interact with the world and tasks Courtney to bring them Barney. After Barney's dog Pugsley realizes this, he jumps in front of Barney and ends up getting possessed instead of Barney. He flies to an attraction in Camelot Creek to claim a throne.
Barney's scared that Pugsley might get hurt, so he walks to the attraction. Norma follows him after doubting a bit. Norma gets an idea from an old Pauline Phoenix film where a demon soul is captured by taking a photograph. When they both arrive at Camelot Creek, Norma turns on the attraction and Barney hops in a boat for Temeluchus/Pugsley to follow, tempting the demon with his body as a vessel instead of his dogs. The plan works fine initially, but then Temeluchus realizes the duo's plan and turns the camera away from him using magic. Norma, struggling at first, succeeds in turning the camera back just in time. They capture the soul of Temeluchus in the photograph and head back to the haunted house.
When they get to the haunted house, Barney and Norma give the photograph to Courtney, who is sad because Temeluchus promised to return her to her home, but happy not to be taking any more orders. Courtney realizes that part of Temeluchus is missing from the photo. Pugsley still has a bit of Temeluchus inside him, and because of this he has gained the ability to talk, use magic and easily walk on two legs.
There are more secrets and mysteries at Phoenix Parks, will our new friends survive what they are in store for?

Production, development, and release
[edit]On 17 August 2020, Steele explained how the show changed from its original iteration on Cartoon Hangover in 2014, and the graphic novels that followed it,[21]stating that he is grateful for showrunners who fought forLGBTQcharacters in their shows, adding that there was "absolutely no pushback from Netflix about representation", while describing Barney as a trans male character.[22]He also hoped that the show will help out "more trans creators getting their chance to tell their stories" while hinting at other LGBTQ characters in the show apart from Barney. In another interview, he was thankful to Netflix executives for letting them have diversity in the show while pushing for it, and pushing him to "tell the story I want to tell".[23]He stated that all the scripts were reviewed byGLAADand said he couldn't wait for people to know Barney. Jen Rudin was a casting executive for the show.[24] Julian Guidetti is the show's composer, and features original songs written byPatrick Stump.[25]In January 2023, he revealed that the series was pitched to Netflix in 2019, and that the series wasn't a "word-for-word adaptation" of the comics he had written.[26]
The series was scheduled to premiere in 2021.[27][3]The series was originally scheduled for a Fall 2021 premiere on Netflix.[28][29]
