Sassy Justice is a
web series created by
Trey Parker,
Matt Stone and
Peter Serafinowicz that uses
deepfake technology to insert unrelated celebrities and politicians into the fictional world of a television reporter.[1] The first episode was posted to
YouTube on October26, 2020.[2]
Production and development
The series was created by the newly-formed Deep Voodoo studio, made up of over twenty computer graphics artists.[3] The team was originally assembled for a film project that was interrupted due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, who made the video based on a series of impressions that Serafinowicz developed of a "sassy"
Donald Trump.[4] The first video, which featured deepfakes of Donald Trump and Mark Zuckerberg, went viral after airing on television and YouTube in 2020.[4] The creators have a handful of shorter videos alongside a 15-minute first episode that may be turned into an ongoing series, film, or other type of project.[4]
Sassy Justice started filming for a second show in Cheyenne, Wyoming between August 23rd and August 27th 2021.[5] Multiple filming locations were observed including locations in downtown, midtown, and north Cheyenne. A holiday special was released in December 2020.[6]
