Animation company Toonstar has teamed up with Sixth Wall, the digital division of actress Mila Kunis' Orchard Farm Productions, to launch 'Gimmicks,' a new [NFT](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coinbase)-based animated wrestling series.

'Gimmicks' follows a group of retired wrestlers who attempt to re-live their glory days in the ring. According to Toonstar, the series will utilize Solana [NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-lampoon) to deliver a unique interactive storytelling experience that will follow a "choose your own adventure" format. In terms of tone and style, John Attanasio, the CEO of Toonstar, described the new series as “South Park meets [WWE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smackadillas), but interactive and greasier.”

'Gimmicks' will be Mila Kunis's second venture into the crypto space; last year, the actress used an NFT collection to crowdfund her own cartoon series called 'Stoner Cats.'
