Robot Chicken Fans Disheartened by News of No New Season Ahead!

The stop-motion animated series “Robot Chicken,” which first aired on Adult Swim and has become iconic for its unique take on pop culture figures from the ’80s and beyond, is now marking its 20th anniversary. Unfortunately, one of the creators behind the show has shared some disappointing news for fans eagerly waiting for new episodes. For nearly two decades, “Robot Chicken” has been entertaining audiences with its creative parody sketches, using action figures and playsets to breathe fresh life into beloved characters in a way that’s captivated viewers since its debut.

The beloved show “Robot Chicken” is marking its 20th anniversary and plans to air a special episode this Summer in celebration. However, contrary to fan expectations, it seems unlikely that we’ll see Season 12 as co-creator Seth Green shared with Indiewire that the team might not produce another full season of episodes for the series in the future.

Robot Chicken Co-Creator Talks Season 12 Possibility

Seth Green, co-creator of “Robot Chicken,” expressed his belief that we likely won’t produce an entire season 12, let alone another 20 quarter-hour episodes. Instead, he anticipates creating more half-hour specials focused on specific properties. The reason behind this shift is that Adult Swim, the network, seems to be playing a less significant role in the business. However, these specials will help keep the “Robot Chicken” franchise vibrant and alive.

Essentially, Seth Green believes that by creating special episodes featuring Warner Bros. Discovery’s properties, Robot Chicken can continue its run. He compares this strategy to South Park’s approach with their specials, which have proven successful in generating income for the company and promoting their streaming platform. Therefore, even though a new season might not be on the horizon right now, the Robot Chicken franchise may persist if these specials become popular.

What to Know for Robot Chicken’s 20th Anniversary Special?

This summer, the “Robot Chicken” 20th anniversary special airing on Adult Swim is called “The Robot Chicken Self-Discovery Special.” In this new episode, the characters will satirize Warner Bros. Discovery’s channels such as Discovery, Food Network, and TLC. The story revolves around the clumsy Robot Chicken Nerd who embarks on a journey of self-discovery in an American fashion: participating in reality shows! Will he find love like on 90 Day Fiancé, or end up becoming Shark Week’s prey?

If you’re keen on catching more episodes of “Robot Chicken” right away, Adult Swim is currently airing the animated series every night this month, plus a variety of special episodes that have been released previously. If you’d like to revisit the 11 seasons of the show that have been produced so far in a new format, you can now stream them all on Max. In fact, any upcoming specials will likely be available for streaming on Max after their initial airing on Adult Swim.
