Peeb

By: William Johnston

Sitcom Mission 2025 finalist

When a team of research scientists at a museum revive a caveman, who they name Peeb, they now have access to a resource that could teach them invaluable lessons about our ancestors and what it means to be human. But Peeb won't cooperate in the study, and has far more of a connection with Tanya, the museum's brazen security guard.
