Dante is a sleazy, self-serving grim reaper with a silver tongue, a sketchy smile, and a long history of breaking rules. He’s lazy, manipulative, and wildly inappropriate—but somehow still one of the underworld’s top performers. After getting intimate with a human he was supposed to kill, the Reaper Court decides to test an unstable invisibility serum on him instead of firing him outright. His final assignment: kill a weeby teenage girl who knows too much about the afterlife.
Mimi, the target in question, is a clingy, overly enthusiastic occult fanatic with monsters, endless energy, and no sense of self-preservation. She’s obsessed with death, thinks Dante is “kinda hot for an immortal predator,” and is way too excited about being stalked by the reaper of her dreams.
Instead of eliminating her, Dante finds himself... intrigued. Maybe even protective. Definitely in denial. Now he's lying to his bosses, sabotaging other reapers, and sinking deeper into the mess he was supposed to clean up.
With disturbing psychological tension, relentless dark humor, and a deeply inappropriate codependent dynamic, Afterlife Hustle is an animated series about death, dysfunction, and two people who should absolutely not be in each other's lives—but are anyway.
