Apollo Gauntlet & Ballmastrz: 9009: Updates on New Seasons
And now we know.
We saw some reports that Apollo Gauntlet wasn’t getting any additional episodes ordered for a second season, so we decided to do some digging with our own sources and verify that, in fact, the show will not be returning for a second season on Adult Swim. The series joins Hot Streets in the network’s 2019 announced cancels. That said, it appears that creator Myles Langlois is continuing to make a variety of online shorts including Apollo Gauntlet so I bet this won’t be the last we hear from the Canadian-based producer.
Apollo Gauntlet, a quarter-hour animated adventure comedy series set in a futuristic medieval society. The series centers around Paul Cassidy, an ordinary cop on Earth, but when the evil Dr. Benign transports him to another world, he becomes a new kind of hero. With the help of a magical suit and a set of talking gauntlets, he’s able to fight crime exactly the way he wants…and he’ll do it as APOLLO GAUNTLET!

In better news, Dana Snyder has confirmed in a recent of his podcast called Dino and Dana’s Safe Space starring Tish that he is working on the second season of Ballmastrz:9009. It can be hard to hear because there seems to be so much food eating going on, but Dana at about the 2:07 mark confirms the return.
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! The quarter-hour series is created by Christy Karacas (Superjail!) and produced by Titmouse.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
