The Amazing Digital Circus is an Australian-American adult-animated psychological dark comedy web series created by American composer and animator Cooper Smith Goodwin, better known as Gooseworx, produced by GLITCH Productions.
The series follows six people who get trapped into a virtual reality circus video game. The first episode revolves around the main protagonist, Pomni, coming to terms with being stuck in purgatory, while later episodes also center around the other characters and various NPCs.
The series premiered on October 13, 2023 on YouTube. It will be a single season long[1] with nine episodes in total[2][3][4].
The pilot reached 100 million views within the first 30 days of its release; it continued to increase in viewcount, reaching 200 million views before the end of 2023. On January 11, 2024, the pilot received a nomination for Outsanding Character Animation in TV/Media for the 51st Annie Awards[5].
In September 2024, Glitch Productions and Netflix (on Tudum) announced that the streaming service had picked up non-exclusive streaming rights to the show. The series was added onto the service worldwide on October 4, 2024, with the first three episodes.[4][6] It was initially announced that episodes would release simultaneously on both Netflix and YouTube from that point onwards, though only the fourth episode would be added after its premiere. On October 10, 2025, during the GLITCH Direct event, it was announced that episodes 5-6 will be available on Netflix on December 12, 2025, with episode 7 releasing on that same day on both Netflix and YouTube.

International versions[]
Notes[]
- This was the first Glitch Productions series to be dubbed into Arabic, Dutch, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese.
- The sixth episode of the series, "They All Have Guns", uniquely features an addtional English audio track for the United Kingdom (and previously three other tracks for Australia, Canada, and Ireland). The sole difference between the UK track and the main English track is the lack of censorship of the word "sex", said by Zooble.
- This censorship on the main audio track was due to YouTube guidelines.[11]
- This does not apply to the majority of regional dubs of the episode, where the word was translated and uncensored; the sole exception is the Indonesian dub.
