Praise Petey is an animated series airing on Freeform, created by Anna Drezen and starring Annie Murphy, John Cho, Kiersey Clemons and Eve Plumb.When her long-absent father dies, aspiring fashion writer Petra "Petey" St. Barts relocates to New Utopia, a town that he founded, as he told her that he needed someone to continue his life's work. Unfortunately, for her, said "life's work" was, in fact, running a cult, and she's now the new figurehead. As Petey has no self-confidence whatsoever, she has big shoes to fill.On November 13, 2023, it was announced that the show had been cancelled after one season. | |

| Praise Petey / int_120d0e3f | comment |
Adam Westing: Alan Tudyk shows up in the first episode as a parody of himself who's so used to being the center of attention that he gladly allows the cult to sacrifice him. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Praise Petey / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: Petey inherited her dad's wives, but it's not entirely clear if they're married to her or if they're more like dowagers, especially as the cult has prophesied that she will take a male love and conceive a child to succeed her. Adding to the ambiguity, in the finale, Petey off-handedly mentions that she had sex with all three of them at some point. | |

Disappeared Dad: Petey never really knew her dad; he spent her whole life running New Utopia. She didn't even know she had a father until after his death. | |

Not-So-Forgotten Birthday | |
| Praise Petey / int_2c2bde0d | comment |
Not-So-Forgotten Birthday: In "Crowning Day", Petey is frustrated that her birthday coincides with the titular annual holiday in New Utopia, where her mother travels down to put on a show for the cultists. After spending the whole episode moping about it, she discovers that the whole town actually planned a surprise party for her, but Eliza was put in charge of planning it, and her only understanding of how to stage a surprise party came from watching old TV shows, so she assumed that they all had to pretend to ignore Petey, because that's how it works on TV. | |

Belligerent Sexual Tension | |
| Praise Petey / int_75d6bf40 | comment |
Belligerent Sexual Tension: Bandit has sworn that he will force Petey to leave New Utopia if it's the last thing he ever does, and he does everything he can to make sure that she knows he wants her out. But he also admits that he'll probably end up having sex with her at some point. Eliza has this with Connie, the local grease-trap lady. In "The Tangible Secret", Mae Mae gets fed up with Eliza's fumbling and helps her win Connie with a crazy scheme. | |

Capitalism Is Bad | |
| Praise Petey / int_8b60a09b | comment |
Capitalism Is Bad: In "We Need $30", Petey desperately tries to make thirty bucks to pay for Mae Mae's medicine without resorting to the underhanded tactics her dad used to bilk people out of their savings, but finds it nearly impossible to make money honestly. Subverted at the end when she discovers that the Elder Houses are all made of expensive marble and realizes that she can just move all five of the Elders into one house and sell the others. | |

| Praise Petey / int_96d2ce42 | comment |
In Vino Veritas: In "Drippy Drips", Petey approves the venting of swamp gas into New Utopia, leading to everyone getting high and horny for the day. While hopped up on swamp gas, Eliza records a video in which she admits that she regrets getting involved in the cult and wishes that she'd left when she had the chance. | |

| Praise Petey / int_a0a005d1 | comment |
Protagonist Journey to Villain: Downplayed. While she has everyone's best interests at heart, the first season shows Petey slowly getting used to her role and the power that comes with it. It comes to a head in the finale, when Petey is struggles with the choice of deprogramming everyone in town, as it means losing everyone she cared about in the process. She ultimately decides to double down on the leading the cult and manipulates everyone into staying by their side. | |

Happiness in Slavery | |
| Praise Petey / int_a58802b7 | comment |
Happiness in Slavery: In the second episode, Petey attempts to dissolve the entire cult, announcing that she is discontinuing all the weird jobs that her father assigned everyone in the misguided belief that they'll all seek out their own purposes. This causes a widespread panic, as almost everyone in town liked their assigned roles, and have no idea what to do with themselves outside of it. | |

Naturalized Name: Petey's mother was born in the town that became New Utopia, with the name "Tammy Overalls". She changed her name to "White St. Barts" when she relocated to New York City, and has had every resident of New Utopia sign an NDA disavowing any knowledge of her. | |

Tyrant Takes the Helm: In the season finale, Petey recruits Bandit for a scheme to deprogram the entire town, but reneges after realizing that doing so would ruin her financially and socially, as she would be admitting to scamming the entire town. Instead, she decides to refocus the cult away from the supposed comet and around herself, creating an even worse cult. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Praise Petey / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: Bandit claims that his deep-seated hatred for the cult is because he was exiled when he came of age so that he wouldn't compete with Petey's dad for the women. The reality is he wasn't exiled. He was a gangly, awkward teenager and thus he was allowed to stay. | |

Toxic Friend Influence: As the season wears on, Petey's constant neediness and self-absorption takes a toll on Eliza's already-fragile sense of self, to the point that she breaks down crying after taking a single day off to take a cooking class. Her girlfriend Connie outright tells her that Petey is toxic and she needs to cut her out of her life. | |
