ROBOT CHICKEN Is Back With a Wild New Special and You Can Enjoy The First Trailer! — GeekTyrant
This new half-hour special arrives on Adult Swim on July 20th and hits Max the following day. It follows the show's signature nerd mascot as he embarks on a spiritual journey 'America's way: going on reality shows!'
According to Adult Swim, he's trying to find his identity in the middle of 90 Day Fiancé-style dating chaos, reality TV madness, and even Shark Week danger. You can expect the usual blend of irreverent stop-motion chaos, but this time it's aiming its plastic finger squarely at Warner Bros. Discovery's reality-heavy empire.
In a joint statement, creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich celebrated the return:
'20 years ago, we set out to make the kind of funny and unexpected show that we'd want to watch. And somehow, we're still here, making sketch comedy with toys and making each other laugh.
'As always, the fans are the true wind beneath our wings, and this new special is going to soar really high. And then maybe from that height, poop on your head. But we all know that's good luck, so consider this payback for your support.'
If you're wondering whether this special signals a full-on return for the series, the answer is... not really. In a recent interview, Green was pretty candid about the show's future:
'I can say with a bit of certainty that I don't think we'll ever do a whole season of Robot Chicken. I don't think we'll ever do another 20 quarter-hour episodes,' he said. 'What I do expect we'll do is continue to make half-hour specials that are dedicated to a specific property.'
Green even pointed to South Park's recent run of streaming-focused specials as a model: 'Those have been really effective, and each individual special has made money for the parent company and promotion for its streaming platform. I think that's where we're going to start to fit in.'
So if you've been craving the chaotic brilliance of Robot Chicken , this is sure to be a fun and wild ride!

Trixie Mattel Just Dropped a 'Gay HBO Max Song'
Warner Bros. Discovery has teamed up with DJ/drag superstar Trixie Mattel on a new song intended to celebrate Pride. And oh yeah, it also honors HBO Max. 'Gay HBO Max Song' was released on Friday, June 27 — the penultimate weekday of Pride Month 2025. The music video, which ironically was released before Max officially rebranded de-branded back to 'HBO Max,' is meant to 'amplify queer joy,' a third-party PR rep for the collaboration told The Hollywood Reporter. More from The Hollywood Reporter K-Pop Girl Group Aespa Is Exactly Where They Want to Be Lorde Performs Surprise Glastonbury Set on Day of Album Release: "I'm Back and Completely Free" Lorde Summer Officially Arrives With New Album 'Virgin' The single lays a few very meme-able quotes from HBO/Max shows atop the beat, including Sydney Sweeney's 'I've never been happier!' line from Euphoria, Jennifer Coolidge's 'These gays are trying to kill me!' from The White Lotus, 'Whatever happened to fun?' from Sex & the City — and others. The selections mark 'HBO Max's most iconic quotes' as 'uplifted and made relevant by the queer community,' the pitch to press reads. 'With fans at the core of its success, HBO Max continues to inspire engagement and creative expression,' it continues. 'This initiative is a tribute to the creativity, passion and unwavering connection fans have shown to HBO Max content. The launch of the 'Gay HBO Max Song' celebrates the communities and fandoms that have helped establish HBO Max as a cultural phenomenon.' In 2022, Mattel had a Discovery+ show titled Trixie Motel. A sequel, Trixie Motel: Drag Me Home, premiered on Discovery+ (and Max) in 2024. Also, it's just catchy. Watch the 'Gay HBO Max Song' music video here: Max will revert to 'HBO Max' (but thankfully not the original HBO Max platform) sometime this summer. The service went from 'HBO Max' to just 'Max' in 2023 in an ill-conceived attempt to express the broadness of available content following the combination of WarnerMedia (at the time owned by AT&T) and Discovery, Inc. 'This evolution has been influenced by changing consumer needs, and the fact that no consumer today is saying they want more content, but most consumers are saying they want better content,' WBD said in a statement reversing course in May. 'With other services filling the more basic needs with volume, WBD has clearly distinguished itself through its quality and distinct stories, and no brand has done that better and more consistently over 50-plus years than HBO.' 'Returning the HBO brand into HBO Max will further drive the service forward and amplify the uniqueness that subscribers can expect from the offering,' the statement continued. 'It is also a testament to WBD's willingness to keep boldly iterating its strategy and approach — leaning heavily on consumer data and insights — to best position itself for success.'
