Fox Around the Night is an original animated series about a teenage rookie spirit hunter, Eileen, haunted by an overdramatic fox spirit, Lingye, who insists on mentoring her to become a master spirit hunter. The existence of the supernatural is no secret: you see what you believe in. The government funds a vast network of spirit-hunting organizations, a branch for every exorcism technique, to ensure humans and spirits live in harmony. This series will follow a fictional form of Chinese exorcism heavily influenced by Chinese xianxia concepts of cultivating spiritual energy, but set in the modern day American perspective of individualism.Eileen attends a prestigious urban prep school by day and takes on supernatural assignments by night. In the pilot, Eileen, along with her teammates Kyle and Megan, are tasked with hunting a toxic spirit silkworm leaking poison inside a small apartment building. As Eileen focuses on doing her part as a spirit hunter, cracks begin to show in other parts of her life: her slipping grades and her drifting childhood friend, Laura.
