Season Seven Preview

Written by John Blabber

Along with TV shows like Aqua Teen and The Venture Bros., Robot Chicken is probably the most notable brand associated with Adult Swim and it’s been that way for six seasons. Over the course of Robot Chicken’s run the brand has run amok in heaping lovable parody on just about every entertainment brand known to man. From sketches featuring the likes of Aliens and Predators to LEGO and Star Wars, Robot Chicken has done it all. In 2012, the success of Robot Chicken helped Stoopid Monkey Producers Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, partner with Buddy Systems’ John Harvatine IV and Eric Towner to launch Stoopid Buddy Stoodios. Since then, the studio has produced content for MAD, College Humor, and continue to cultivate their relationship with Adult Swim by bringing us new intellectual properties likeTitan Maximum and the Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) vehicle Ubermansion.

Nowadays everyone wants to do the show and we are always eager to get new and recurring people on the show.’’

The practice of getting some of Hollywood’s best talent to provide voices for Robot Chicken, continues with the Robot Chicken/DC Comics: Villains in Paradise special airing on Adult Swim, starting April 6th @ 11:30 pm ET/PT.  That’s because the RC/DC II special all-star cast includes Seth Green as Batman and Robin, Zac Efron as Superboy, Alfred Molina as Lex Luthor, Sarah Hyland as Lex Luthor’s daughter Lena, Nathan Fillion as the Green Lantern, Alex Borstein as Wonder Woman, Clancy Brown as Gorilla Grodd, Giovanni Ribisi as the Joker, Tara Strong as Harley Quinn, Breckin Meyer as Superman, plus Hugh Davidson, Matthew Senreich, Clare Grant, Zeb Wells, and Kevin Shinick as the narrator.
