Fans of a certain vintage will remember well the excitement of the Robot Chicken Star Wars specials, with three dedicated episodes released between 2007 and 2010 that featured all the Robot Chicken regulars as well as appearances from Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, Donald Glover (pre-Solo: A Star Wars Story), Ahmed Best, Anthony Daniels and George Lucas. Now, showrunners Seth ‘Todo 360’ Green and Matt Senreich are behind a neew special celebrating 20 years of ther show, which this time “follows the hapless Robot Chicken Nerd as he seeks self-discovery America’s way: going on reality shows! Will he find a 90 Day Fiancé – or end up Shark Week chum?” Could we see any GFFA action? There’s only one way to find out.
First premiering February 20, 2005, the acclaimed series created by and starring Seth Green and Matthew Senreich has gone on to earn 23 Emmy nominations and six wins, the most recent in 2022 for Outstanding Short Form Animated Program.
To celebrate the show’s 20th anniversary, Adult Swim is airing the series five-nights a week throughout this month, with a late-night double episode, Monday – Thursday beginning at 12:30am ET/PT, and featured Robot Chicken specials airing late night Sundays at 1am ET/PT. All 11 seasons of Robot Chicken are currently available to stream on Max.
“Robot Chicken has been pushing the boundaries of comedy and animation for 20 years, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this milestone with our incredible fans,” said Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen. “From the very first stop-motion sketch to the upcoming special, the show’s relentless creativity and sharp satire continue to set it apart. This new special is packed with the kind of wild, irreverent fun that only Robot Chicken can deliver.”
