Cartoon Network's Regular Show revival release date confirmed in leak The return of Regular Show was announced in 2024, with Warner Bros. revealing at that year’s Annecy festival that original creator J.G. Quintel, a devoted Sega fan, would be involved in the new series. The original show, which aired on Cartoon Network from 2010 to 2017, featured 244 episodes centered on the misadventures of blue jay Mordecai and raccoon Rigby as they worked—often lazily—for Benson, a sentient gumball machine and park groundskeeper. The series also introduced eccentric characters like Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost, and Skips the yeti. Quintel, who also voiced Mordecai, is expected to return alongside series regulars Sam Marin, Mark Hamill, William Salyers, and Janie Haddad Tompkins for Regular Show: The Lost Tapes. The show’s official YouTube channel is currently airing a marathon of season 6, highlighting its enduring popularity. Over its run, Regular Show earned multiple Annie and Emmy award nominations, including a 2015 film adaptation titled Regular Show: The Movie. The series also inspired a Nintendo 3DS game, Mordecai and Rigby in 8-Bit Land, and a notable legal dispute involving Donkey Kong high score champion Billy Mitchell. The revival, Regular Show: The Lost Tapes, is set to premiere on May 11, though the exact date remains unconfirmed. Quintel has emphasized the role of games in the show’s legacy, calling them an integral part of its “DNA.” The series’ blend of surreal humor and quirky characters has cemented its place in pop culture, with fans eagerly awaiting its return. Meanwhile, unrelated headlines about other games and projects, such as Crimson Desert and Minecraft Dungeons 2, appear to be part of the website’s content mix and are not relevant to the Regular Show revival.#warner_bros #cartoon_network #regular_show #j_g_quintel #annecy_festival
