‘Robot Chicken’ Signs On For Seasons 5 & 6 With Adult Swim!
Robot Chicken creators/executive producers Seth Green and Matthew Senreich have made a deal with Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim for a two-season, 40-episode pick-up for seasons five and six.
Clark Kent says: Now if Adult Swim can get their site better to stream on the PS3 life would be great!
Robot Chicken, the highest-rated original series on Adult Swim, began airing in February 2005 and remains the top-rated original on the network. The series has been Emmy-nominated as Outstanding Animated Program for the last two years; Green was nominated for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance and the series has won multiple Emmys in Animation. “Robot Chicken” produced two hit “Robot Chicken: Star Wars” specials, and “Robot Chicken” DVDs consistently rank among the industry’s top TV on DVD releases during the week they are released. In addition, “Robot Chicken” has won four Annie Awards, including Best Animated Television Production, Best Writing and Best Director for Green.
“We’re very excited,” says Green, “we never expected to do a second season, let alone a fifth and sixth, so we are thrilled by the audience response and how the show continues to grow internationally.” Senreich says, “We love Adult Swim. It’s really that simple. From the get-go, we’ve always said that ‘Robot Chicken’ was a show where we play with friends and we look forward to doing that for years to come!”
Robot Chicken is created and executive produced by Green and Senreich under their Stoopid Monkey Productions, in conjunction with Alex Bulkley and Corey Campodonico’s ShadowMachine Films. Green and Senreich also executive produce, write and, with Chris McKay, direct the series, with Green providing many of the voices. Tom Root and Douglas Goldstein are the head writers of “Robot Chicken” and series writers Mike Fasolo, Kevin Shinick and Zeb Wells are frequently joined by guest writers Breckin Meyer (who also does many voices on the show), Hugh Davidson, Hugh Sterbakov and Dan Milano, Erik Weiner and Jordan Allen-Dutton.
