Adult Swim announced a slate of new specials, shows and documentaries during a presentation at the 2026 Annecy International Animation Film Festival. The projects are scheduled to premiere over the next year. The network ordered a full season of Heist Brothers, a series created by the same person behind Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack.
The show follows three frogs attempting a bank robbery and was previously pitched at the festival under a different title. Adult Swim also confirmed two new Robot Chicken specials. One half-hour episode airs August 30 and features characters from multiple Adult Swim series aboard a cruise ship marking the network's 25th anniversary.
A second Robot Chicken special is in production and will focus on Cartoon Network characters to mark that network's 35th anniversary in 2027. The network additionally announced plans for a Cartoon Network documentary event tied to the same anniversary.
