The Hollywood Reporter doesn't provide much in the way of a concrete plot for the Apple TV+ adaptation of "Strange Planet." adaptation. This means it's possible the animated show will adapt a handful of separate comics from the "Strange Planet" series and make ten standalone episodes which come together as a kind of anthology. Or, another option could be that the writers will create a more traditional adaptation with a core cast of characters and simply pluck moments from Pyle's comics before reworking them to fit into the show's narrative.
Either way, there is plenty of material for the writers of "Strange Planet" to draw from thanks to Pyle's work thus far on "Strange Planet." Launched in 2019, the "Strange Planet" webcomics series introduces readers to a group of blue aliens living on Earth and attempting to assimilate into human society. These aliens are nameless, genderless, ageless, and refreshingly innocent. As such, when they talk about their participation in human behaviors or activities like getting a suntan or the thrill of kissing someone, the way they perceive those actions is written in such a way that it reveals how hilariously weird humans can be. Pyle's webcomics series has risen to such a level of popularity since its launch that the author and illustrator released two "Strange Planet" books in 2019 and 2020, respectively, as well as the 2021 picture book "Strange Planet: The Sneaking, Hiding, Vibrating Creature."
