Nick Cave is set to appear as an animated version of himself alongside Swedish rocker Thåström in new TV series Before They Were Gods.The show will be directed by Swedish director and writer Måns Mårlind (The Bridge) and is being developed by the Yellow Bird production company from Banijay.According to The Hollywood Reporter, Before They Were Gods is set “in an imaginary world, in which the two musicians were close friends as 14-year-olds, before they would turn into major rock gods.”The report adds that “the series sees the two search for the ultimate truth, everlasting beauty, and cheap wine.

Sometimes they find it, but mostly not. Always there, close to them both, is the promise of endless love in the form of the mysterious and beautiful Linnea who they have both deeply fallen for.”Director Mårlind said: “This is a dream project that literally came to me in a dream.

While asleep, I watched two of my musical heroes as young teenagers, drinking cheap beer while discussing love and the meaning of life.
