WE CALLED IT FIRST! Adult Swim Announces Ballmastrz: 9009 Premiere/Date/Time AND A TRAILER!

Get your first look here!

We told you guys last year before anyone else that Adult Swim had ordered a new series from the producers of Superjail, and it’s now officially premiering this Spring! Only, the show has an ever so slight name change. Originally touted as Ballmastrz 9669, Adult Swim announces the series pick-up of its newest original animated series,Ballmastrz: 9009, premiering Sunday, April 8^th at Midnight (ET/PT) with new back-to-back episodes each week.

The quarter-hour series is created by Christy Karacas (Superjail!) and produced by Titmouse. Karacas describes the show’s animation as a hybrid of his style that incorporates the elements he loves about anime.

The year is 9009. Ballmastrz: 9009 follows washed up superstar and notorious party gal Gaz Digzy, who after a spiral of destructive antics is demoted to the worst team in The Game: The Leptons. Her only way back to the top is to somehow lead these pathetic misfits to victory. Good luck, Gaz. You’ll need it!

Natasha Lyonne leads the cast of voice actors in Ballmastrz: 9009, along with Dana Snyder, Dave Willis, Jessica DiCicco, Eric Bauza, Christopher McCulloch and Karacas. Special guests include Norman Reedus, Stephanie Sheh and Mike O’Gorman.

Our Take

For fans of Superjail, Ballmastrz:9009 looks like the spiritual successor for that franchise. Everything from the aesthetic, to the frantic action, and even the logo, all look like it’s ripped right from the David Wain starring Adult Swim classic. Get ready…
