We caught up with the cast at New York Comic Con last fall.

Heist Brothers

Adult Swim has greenlit Heist Brothers, a new high-octane animated action comedy from Emmy(R) Award-winning creator Genndy Tartakovsky. The visionary behind groundbreaking series including Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Star Wars: Clone Wars, Sym-Bionic Titan, and Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal, Tartakovsky originally pitched Heist Brothers live onstage to Adult Swim President Michael Ouweleen during the network's Studio Focus Panel in 2024. The presentation gave attendees a rare opportunity to witness firsthand the process of a creator unveiling a brand-new series concept in real time. Announced as in development as Heist_Safari at last year's Annecy, that pitch has now come to fruition with Heist Brothers officially receiving a full-season order for Adult Swim.

Robot Chicken

Adult Swim's Emmy(R) Award-winning stop motion comedy series Robot Chicken, from co creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, will return with two new specials - this time turning the spotlight on its own network. The fan favorite parody series will celebrate Adult Swim's 25 year milestone with Robot Chicken Adult Swim Special, premiering Sunday, August 30 ET/PT on Adult Swim. Available to stream the next day on HBO Max, the special skewers the network's legacy with the show's signature rapid fire sketches, taking on some of Adult Swim's most iconic series, characters, and moments.

Additionally, the celebrated stop motion series is also in production on a second special, this one setting its sights on Cartoon Network's legendary series and characters. The special will commemorate Cartoon Networks' 35th anniversary with a debut planned for 2027.
