Kismet Production Studios is a Manhattan, New York City-based company that produces various types of television shows. They are currently running half a dozen shows with four on air.[1]
History
Early life
Kismet Production Studios is established on an unknown date for television show production. The company started to produce various different shows as time went on and had at least four ongoing shows that had premiered.
The Joey Drew Show
At some point Joey Drew joined the production company to create a Bendy television show called "The Joey Drew Show". He hired a crew to set up a black-and-white set, and hired a former Gent employee, Evan, to create a new technology for his show. Various employees escorted the Ink Machine and numerous other "experiments" to the building and stored the machine in its basement. Whether Kismet was aware of this is unknown, but it's likey.[2]
On the January of 1953, Rose joined the company as a Production Assistant and was assigned to The Joey Drew Show as Joey's personal assistant. With Arch Steel being a sponsor, the first show released in the same month of the same year. It wasn't really successful, however it still continued. Some time after, Joey took Rose to the basement to show her the Ink Machine. After praising the machine and exiting the room, he closed the door on Rose, and after she yelled and screamed he opened it back up and stated that it was a prank.
The battle
After deciding to destroy the Ink Machine, Rose, Dot and Archie went to the building with a master key at 8 PM during The Joey Drew Show to avoid running into Joey. Before the trio came, Evan had snuck in to steal the machine and revive Gent. When they arrived, they saw Evan and realized that he was going to steal the machine. After Archie knocked Evan out with the Gent Pipe, he and Dot started breaking the machine. But they got interrupted as the Ink Demon arrived and killed a selfless Archie. Dot and Rose started to leave with an unconscious Evan as the demon repeatedly lunged at the machine. He then heard and chased after them, he grabbed Evan and upon Evan's request, Dot and Rose let go of his body and then the demon presumably killed him.
Aftermath
After Joey imprisoned the test families in the ink realm, they managed to escape after multiple hardships and Rose claimed that she quit. The show was then presumably cancelled after Joey's actions were likey leaked to the public. However, this is not stated and it's unknown if Kismet knew or cared about what Joey did.
