Is Regular Show Season 9 happening?
The news came alongside a spin-off reveal for Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends (childhood memory officially unlocked), a freshAdventure Time series, anupcoming anime-style Scooby-Doo, and morenew TV shows.
An all-new series from J.G. Quintel was announced on June 12 and was met with cheers from the event’s crowd. A lot is still up in the air, but here’s what Cartoon Network shared.
Regular Show is being rebooted, but it likely won’t pick up from where Season 8 left off.
The revival has no title yet but is in development at Cartoon Network.
It’s unknown if the main characters from the original will be back as the protagonists, as the series was described as “entirely new.” Varietyreportedsome characters will return in some form, though.
Quintel, who created Regular Show, is back on board, a key element that’ll lend credibility to the revival.
There are no details on the new Regular Show’s storyyet, but it will be a new adventure entirely.
The revival has been reported as a new show that isn’t a direct continuation of Season 8’s finale. This means fresh characters and a different direction instead of a follow-up to the events of the last episode.
At the end of the story, Mordecai and Rigby quit their jobs at the park and moved on. Mordecai became an artist, married a bat, and had three kids.
“You’re almost out of things. ‘We already did that! We already did that!’ But I feel we figured it out and put in a bunch of things we had never done and a bunch of things I don’t think you could do unless you were going from that long of a run and ending it. So it worked out.”
It’s been several years since then, so perhaps new ideas have swirled in Quintell’s head during the break.
