What happens

Elliott from Earth is a British animated television series created by Guillaume Cassuto and developed by Cassuto, Mic Graves, and Tony Hull for Cartoon Network. Produced by Cartoon Network Studios Europe, the show follows an 11-year-old boy named Elliott and his mother Frankie, who travel around Earth to study 65-million-year-old rock meteorites. After discovering a meteorite with no fusion crust, they accidentally power it up, causing it to turn into a transport sphere that launches them into the other side of the Universe. They end up on a large space station called the Centrium, where they meet a dinosaur named Mo, who lost the rock in the wilderness of a biosphere. Later, the three of them investigate their new environment and meet its alien inhabitants, eventually making their way into the city on the space station, where they find a new home for themselves. In Centrium City, the trio continues to get accustomed to the ways of life there and explore the wonders of their new home. It was first announced, greenlit and pitched in July 2018 for 20 episodes, from the team who previously worked on The Amazing World of Gumball. After starting its production in September of that year, in December 2019, series creator Guillaume Cassuto announced his departure from Cartoon Network, doing it in October. Replaced by Mic Graves and Tony Hull, who served from that point on as showrunners of the show. After its release was slated from 2020 to the following year, the show debuted in the United Kingdom and Africa on March 6, 2021. In the United States, it premiered on March 29 and ended its air on April 9, 2021. On September 10, 2021, the series was added to the streaming service HBO Max, though it was later removed from the platform on August 17, 2022. Despite being received positively by critics, the show was cancelled after its first season due to lack of marketing and poor viewership. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
