David Bowie‘s son Duncan Jones used April Fool’s Day to joke fans into thinking an animated series about his late father was in the works.
The filmmaker took to Twitter this afternoon (April 1) to seemingly confirm that Aardman Animations, the studio behind Wallace and Gromit, had developed a new Bowie TV programme.
Incredibly excited today to be able to announce the release of the FIRST EPISODE of the @aardman animation…

@aardman animation… BOWIE TV SERIES!” Jones wrote before linking to a YouTube video.Upon clicking the URL, his followers were met with the classic ‘RickRoll’d’ clip.
The Moon director also attached a mock-up of the would-be plasticine Starman, which reimagines Aardman’s Wallace as Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust moniker.
Meanwhile, David Bowie’s classic single ‘Let’s Dance’ has recently been reworked into a coronavirus anthem by Jamiroquai. “Lockdown, put on your face mask and watch TV,” Jay Kay sang to the melody of its verse.
