Adult Swim Announces 2020 Slate Including New JJ Villard Series And New Seasons Of “The Shivering Truth”, “12 oz. Mouse”, and “Lazor Wulf”

 

 

 

Adult Swim has announced new and returning series set to premiere in 2020 including The Shivering Truth, JJ Villard’s Fairy Tales, 12 oz Mouse (first reported by us), and Lazor Wulf. No premiere dates have been announced yet, just that all of those series will be part of the 2020 year.

Other series that are expected to drop additional episodes, Rick and Morty, Mike Tyson’s Mysteries, and Robot Chicken all have second halves of seasons to air, set to join other returning programming like Tigtone, Dream Corp LLC, and Ballmastrz: 9009 the latter of which is getting a screened premiere episode at the Adult Swim Festival happening this weekend.

JJ Villard’s Fairy Tales is a new, twisted, fun take on classic the Brothers Grimm fairy tales like Cinderella and Snow White. The charm and cuteness of the original stories remain, but now they’ve been updated and packaged into a ball of raw, visceral, gross weirdness. The quarter-hour series is created, and executive produced by JJ Villard (King Star King).

Critically hailed in its first season, THE SHIVERING TRUTH is a delicately crafted, darkly surreal anthology comedy set in stunning stop-motion. The quarter-hour series is created and written by Vernon Chatman, directed by Chatman and Cat Solen, and executive produced by PFFR (Neon Joe, Werewolf Hunter, Xavier: Renegade Angel) with Solen. The animation studio is ShadowMachine. Read our review for season one here.

Season two of LAZOR WULF will reunite fans with Stupid Horse, Lazor, Cannon, and Blazor but let’s not forget God and Wallace to round out the city of Strongburg’s finest. The quarter-hour series is created by Henry Bonsu and executive-produced by Bonsu, Daniel Weidenfeld (China, IL), Carl Jones (The Boondocks), and Vince Staples. The animation studio is Six Point Harness. Read our review for season one here.

12 Oz. Mouse first aired on the network in 2005 and returns with season three to follow a new journey for Mouse Fitzgerald and his trusty sidekick, Skillet. The quarter-hour series features new cast members joining the original cast along with writer and creator, Matt Maiellaro (Aqua Teen Hunger Force). Read our review of the recent special episode here.
