Cartoon Network’s original animated series Regular Show is entering its eighth season and the network has announced that it will be its last. The Regular Show final season announcement came in a joint release from Cartoon Network and Regular Show creator and producer JG Quintel, who also voices Mortdecai -- via Variety.
“From JG’s original pitch on post-it notes, through eight successful seasons and more than 250 episodes produced, Regular Show has been one of the most original animated series of this generation creating indelible characters and signature comedy mayhem laced with heart,” said Cartoon Network Chief Content Officer Rob Sorcher. “Our sincere thanks to this talented crew and cast for their incredible dedication, and I’m proud that they all agreed to go up in space together for one hilarious final journey.”
Quintel created Regular Show as a school project when he was attending CalArts. The series first premiered in 2010 on Cartoon Network and spawned seven seasons and a movie prior to its upcoming final season.
“Making Regular Show has been so much fun,”Quintel said. “We got to tell all of the stories we wanted to tell, and making the choice to go out exactly how we want to go out. We’re so proud and excited for people to see how we’re wrapping things up in a big, big way. We’re bringing everything full circle.”
Season 8 of Regular Show was already in production before Season 7, and the Regular Show Movie premiered back in October 2015. Quintel even admitted to iDigitalTimes that about 10 episodes were already written when we spoke at New York Comic-Con last October.
Regular Show Season 8 is set to premiere Sept. 26 at 8 p.m.
