The Land of Boggs is an American animated web series created by Brent Sievers and Lizz Hickey. Produced by BuzzFeed Animation Lab, it was released on Instagram in 2018.

The series began on Instagram, but later also went onto TikTok, Facebook and YouTube.

In February 2023, producer Frederator Studios signed a deal with BuzzFeed Animation Lab to produce a full-length series based on The Land of Boggs.[4][5] Several other BuzzFeed properties are included in the deal, such as Chikn Nuggit. [6]

A spin-off series, Ultimate Guy Pals, created by Sievers and Simeon Kondev, began releasing on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok in June 2023, although this series would be cancelled and all shorts being posted on The Land of Boggs' YouTube channel as a compilation.

In 2024, co-creator and showrunner Lizz Hickey was laid off from BuzzFeed, leading to the show's animator Simeon Kondev becoming a showrunner of the series alongside Sievers.[7]
