The Turner-owned network has ordered one new series, six new specials and 12 new pilots. The new series, _TV Sucks_, is a quarter-hour animated sketch show from Brad Neely (_China, IL_) featuring one-off bits, shorts and songs. Neely and Dan Weidenfeld will exec produce, Dave Newberg will co-exec produce, with Titmouse, Inc. producing. Among the many names attached to the new slate, Seth Green will be busy with a new special, _Robot Chicken DC Comics Special III: Friendship Is Magic,_ and two pilot orders. “Adult Swim has always been known as a place for taking risks and for great talent trying interesting things,” said Christina Miller, president and general manager of Cartoon Network, Adult Swim and Boomerang. “\[Creative director\] Mike \[Lazzo\] and his team continue to raise the bar, always knowing what the Adult Swim fan wants; and this new slate of original programming adds to our growing lineup of successful primetime comedies.” Adult Swim’s other specials include two new _Tim & Eric Bedtime Stories_ installments, Brett Gelman’s third _Dinner Special_, _Untitled Golf Special_ starring Adam Scott (_Parks and Recreation_) and Jon Daly (_Kroll Show_) and set in 1966, and _Neon Joe, Werewolf Hunter_ from Jon Glaser (_Girls_). “There is no better environment for an advertiser seeking to engage and connect with this sought-after millennial consumer,” said president of Turner ad sales Donna Speciale. “Through premium top-rated multiscreen programming, custom-produced branded content, on-site media activations and digital engagement, there is limitless return potential for marketers aligning with us and this valuable brand.” Among the 15 original series set to return are _Childrens Hospital, The Jack and Triumph Show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Forever_ and _Rick and Morty_. Here’s a look at Adult Swim’s pilots: **_Bad Guys_** The 15-minute project from Paul Scheer (_The League_) and Nick Giovannetti, centers on a bombastic, megalomaniac terrorist and his upstart terrorist organization’s quest for domination. Bento Box will produce. **_Untitled Million Dollar Extreme Project_** A live-action 15-minute sketch show created by Million Dollar Extreme and set in an almost present-day post-apocalyptic nightmare world. **_Mr. Neighbor’s House_** Brian Huskey (_Veep_) plays a children’s show host barely able to contain the suppressed rage boiling underneath his quiet demeanor. Mixing vignettes, puppets, animation, stop-motion, spoken word and mixed-medium elements, this not-for-kids kids show comes from Huskey, Jason Mantzoukas (_The League_) and Jesse Falcon and is exec produced by Rob Corddry (_Childrens Hospital_). **_Ballmastrz 9669_** This futuristic series centers on the only game that matters, THE GAME, and the BALLMASTRZ who play it. Inside giant battle arenas the size of small cities, teams of players must face challenges that test their physical, mental and psychological limits while entertaining the masses. The 15-minuted animated series is created by Christy Karacas (_Superjail!_) and produced by Titmouse. **_Apollo Gauntlet_** A cop from Earth trapped in another world can finally fight crime the way he wants after acquiring talking magical gauntlets. The animated quarter-hour pilot is created by Myles Langlois and produced by Six Point Harness. **_Bubblegoose and Juice_** Created by Carl Jones (_Black Dynamite_), the 15-minute follows two best friends, one neurotic and the other a slacker who share a tiny apartment and must maneuver through an unpredictable, supernatural bizzaro world. **_Hot Streets_** FBI Agent Mark Branski and his partner David French investigate supernatural phenomena such as alien invasions and monster infestations with the help of his niece and her cowardly dog, Chubbie Webbers. Created by Brian Wysol, _Robot Chicken_‘s Seth Green, Matt Senreich, John Harvatine IV, and Eric Towner. Justin Roiland (_Rick and Morty_) and Wysol exec produce the project from Stoopid Buddy Stoodios. **_Creataceous Caligula_** After Los Angeles is crushed by a title wave of radiated water, a gang of dinosaur freaks led by a T-Rex Caligula emerge from the La Brea tar pits determined to take over the city. The 15-minute pilot hails from JJ Villard (_King Star King_) and is produced by Titmouse. **_Doble Fried_** Centers on a six-pack of carnival freaks running a low-rent amusement park right on the border of Mexico who are always trying to scam money and get lazy lizard honey. The quarter-hour animated pilot is from Matt Furie and produced by PFFR. **_Fisthead_** The relationship between two brothers is tested as one, a loose-cannon action hero, destroys not just villains, but his normal brother’s life as well. Sean Glaze and Chris Prynoski created this 15-minute animated pilot produced by Titmouse. **_OMG! Earth_** A quarter-hour stop-motion animated comedy centered on plastic action figures going on adventures against the backdrop of all the classic adventure environments like the Old West, the deep blue sea and space.

Arechiga and Schaffer also co-exec produce the project, produced by Stoopid Buddy Stoodios. **_The Pound Hole_** Billed as a contemporary _Soul Train_, Adult Swim’s first-ever late night dance party shows DJ Douggpound (played by Doug Lussenhop) remixing both the audio and visuals of this club into surreal but always danceable situations. Adult Swim’s sole live-action pilot, it hails from creator Daniel Weidenfeld (_China, IL_), Lussenhop (_Tim & Eric Awesome Show_), and is helmed by acclaimed music video directors The Daniels. _This_ [_article_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/adult-swim-upfronts-slate-2015-793960) _originally appeared on_ [_The Hollywood Reporter_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/)_._ _More from The Hollywood Reporter:_ * [TV Pilots 2015: The Complete Guide to What Lives, Dies and Still Has a Pulse](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/tv-pilots-2015-complete-guide-764707) * [TV Shows That Failed to Survive the 2014-15 Season](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/gallery/canceled-tv-shows-792877) * [Broadcast TV Scorecard: Complete Guide to What’s New, Renewed and Canceled](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/broadcast-tv-renewed-canceled-765684) Here Are All the New Adult Swim Projects ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3853624/adult-swim-new-projects/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3853624/adult-swim-new-projects/"},"headline":"These Are All the New Adult Swim Projects","datePublished":"2015-05-11T19:55:48.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:05:27.427Z","description":"Seth Green will produce a Robot Chicken special","url":"https://time.com/3853624/adult-swim-new-projects/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7351f0b05bf3885b/6987ef2dcd68484ee109df71/ap152716981557-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Kate Stanhope / The Hollywood Reporter"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7351f0b05bf3885b/6987ef2dcd68484ee109df71/ap152716981557-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Seth Green attends the Inaugural Los Angeles Baby Buggy Fatherhood Lunch in Beverly Hills, Calif. on March 4, 2015.","caption":"Seth Green attends the Inaugural Los Angeles Baby Buggy Fatherhood Lunch in Beverly Hills, Calif. on March 4, 2015.","creditText":"Richard Shotwell—Invision/AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3853624/adult-swim-new-projects/","name":"These Are All the New Adult Swim Projects"}}]}] ```
