Adult Swim will be scheduling programming 24 hours a day, with shows airing on its cable channel and streaming online.
The top rated network with those millennials everyone's talking about is adding new programming from the creators of The Walking Dead, actor John Krasinski, comedian Brett Gelman, creator Dan Harmon and is bringing back Samurai Jack to cable.
Those millennial viewers will be able to find fresh streaming Adult Swim fare online when Cartoon Network occupies the cable channel from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. The Adult Swim staff has created shows for AdultSwim.com including Stupid Morning Bulls__t, Williams Street Swap Shop, Call of Karaoke and Development Meeting. They join shows that were already streaming: Toonami: Pre-Flight and FishCenter, which has 2 million registered users who can live chat with the show's hosts.
Adult Swim is a one of a kind destination that simply knows its audience, said Christina Miller, president and general manager, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim and Boomerang. Mike Lazzo and his team have always found new and interesting ways to produce and distribute content that can't be found anywhere else.
The announcement of the on-air and online slates precedes parent company Turner Broadcasting's upfront presentation on May 18 in New York. That night, Adult Swim will host a party featuring Nicki Minaj.
Adult Swim has developed a relationship with millennials like no other media brand, said Donna Speciale, president of Turner Ad Sales. That connection is a key access point for advertisers who want to utilize an authentic voice across custom, branded content and partnerships rich with direct to fan experiences.
Here is a description of Adult Swim's new Original Series and specials from the network:
Original Series and Specials
Robot Chicken: The Walking Dead Special
In keeping with the tradition of working with major franchises such as Star Wars and DC Comics universe, the Emmy Award -winning team behind Robot Chicken joins forces with the executive producers of The Walking Dead to bring fans an all new and extra bloody half-hour special. Robot Chicken creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, their Stoopid Buddy Stoodios partners, John Harvatine IV and Eric Towner, and executive producers/head writers Tom Root and Doug Goldstein, will bring an animated zombie apocalypse to Adult Swim with The Walking Dead's creator and executive producer Robert Kirkman and showrunner, executive producer and writer Scott M. Gimple.
Montana James
In this half-hour live-action special, adventure has one name, Montana James. Follow our feathered-cap-wearing explorer on another one of his rip-roaring syndicated television odysseys. This time Montana is on the hunt for the coveted Holy Grail Cup, but watch out Montana, the Order of the Red Arm Band is on your tail again! Created by Nick Corirossi and Charles Ingram, and produced by Funny Or Die.
Mr. Neighbors House
Mr. Neighbors House is a half-hour, live-action childrens show hosted by Brian Huskey (Childrens Hospital, Veep). Hes like any other host of kids programming, except that he is barely able to contain the suppressed rage boiling underneath his quiet demeanor. From the safe confines of his home, he throws to various educational vignettes: puppets, animation, stop motion, spoken word and mixed medium elements that all blend together into one half-hour special that is NOT for kids. Mr. Neighbors House was created by Huskey, Jason Mantzoukas (Childrens Hospital, The League), and Jesse Falcon, who also serve as executive producers with Rob Corddry (Childrens Hospital, Hot Tub Time Machine).
Brett Gelmans Dinner in America
For the third installment in their Dinner series of half-hour specials, Brett Gelman and director Jason Woliner present Brett Gelmans Dinner in America, an exploration of the racial problem in this country. The premise is simple: A roundtable discussion in which Brett attempts to engage four distinguished actors - Loretta Devine (The Carmichael Show), Shareeka Epps (Half Nelson), Joe Morton (Scandal) and Mack Wilds (The Wire) - in an open forum on racism. But as his motives are questioned and the guests refuse to respond in the way that he had hoped, this misbegotten exercise in doing good soon goes very, very wrong. Subverting and then bounding past the conventions of awkward comedy and becoming something wholly unique, Brett Gelmans Dinner in America is unflinching, confrontational and unlike anything previously broadcast on television. Created and written by Gelman and Woliner and produced by Abso Lutely Productions.
Samurai Jack
After 12 years, Jack is back. Original creator and executive producer Genndy Tartakovsky continues the epic story of Samurai Jack with a new season of half-hour episodes.
Dream Corp, LLC
Dream Corp, LLC is an absurd workplace comedy set in a neglected dream therapy facility. Each week, viewers will watch as a rotating cast of desperate patients have their dreams recorded and analyzed by Dream Corps absent-minded professor, Dr. Roberts (Jon Gries), and his team of unremarkable scientists. Dream Corp, LLC is created by Daniel Stessen (The Gold Sparrow) and executive-produced by alums of both American and British versions of The Office, John Krasinski and Stephen Merchant, as well as Krasinskis Sunday Night partner Allyson Seeger.
Million Dollar Extreme Presents: World Peace
This quarter-hour live-action comedy series features sketch comedy troupe Million Dollar Extreme. A super pure tragicomedy rosary of pious prayers bringing unity, joy and excellent living to the people of all sizes, sexualities and colors, this series stars misandrous comedioterrorists Sam Hyde, Nick Rochefort, Charls Carroll, and is directed by Andrew Ruse. World Peace will unlock your closeted bigoted imagination, toss your inherent racism into the burning trash and cl
