12 oz Mouse A No Go For Season Four

According to a new interview conducted by Corndog Central with creator Matt Maiellaro, 12 oz Mouse will NOT be going forward with a fourth season. The longtime Adult Swim creator who has brought us other fine fare such as Aqua Teen Hunger Force notes that the new executives running the network are applying a new lay of the land in terms of the direction of the network which ultimately led to the show’s cancellation.

Our Take

Truly a bummer. Season 3 of 12 Oz Mouse was so damn good, but with HBO MAX getting a slew of new IP for adult animation, it could be that the network just wants to move in an entirely different direction as it pertains to adult animation.  The network has quite a few new series popping up in 2021 so we’ll have to see if any more stalwarts get the axe in the meantime.

Synopsis:

Follow Mouse Fitzgerald, an unapologetic drunken mouse with a background in espionage and a complete lack of memory. Fitz, as he is called, performs odd jobs, often with the help of his sidekick, a chinchilla named Skillet, as he tries to regain his memory.
