HBO Max has released the official trailer for the upcoming adult-animated comedy series titled Ten Year Old Tom, featuring the voices of Gillian Jacobs, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne, and more. The video, which you can check out below, introduces the titular character as he deals with the problems that come with getting bad advice from the adults around him. The series is scheduled to make its debut on Thursday, September 30.
“I wanted to write a show about a kid who’s trying to make sense of the world around him, but to do it in a way that doesn’t pull punches,” creator Steve Dildarian said in a statement. “HBO Max is the perfect home for a show like that, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity.”

Ten Year Old Tom is created and written by Steve Dildarian, who also stars as the voice of the lead character. The series will feature a talented voice cast including Byron Bowers, Todd Glass, Gillian Jacobs, Edi Patterson, and John Malkovich, along with guest stars David Duchovny, Jennifer Coolidge, Natasha Lyonne, Mark Proksch, Tim Robinson, George Wallace, and more.
“The series follows the misadventures of an average kid as he contends with questionable guidance from the well-meaning grownups around him,” reads the official synopsis. “Being a kid is hard enough for Tom, but when bad influences seem to lurk around every corner – from litigious parents and drug dealing bus drivers to school administrators who want to sleep with his mom – it’s downright impossible. While the adults in Tom’s life certainly mean well, they just can’t manage to lead by example.”
