Toonami producer Jason Demarco is teasing three additional original series that will be a part of the action block lineup on top of the already announced three including Blade Runner, Uzumaki, and most recently, Fena: Pirate Princess. What these series are is unknown at the moment, but Jason notes that despite a rough year for the long-standing franchise within a franchise that is Toonami, that the line-up has the full support of the network and will continue to do so for years to come.

For those wondering, Mike Tyson Mysteries has officially been canceled by Adult Swim after four seasons. The news comes as former writer Larry Dorf has been doing numerous interviews on podcasts as of late thereby making the unofficial announcement on the future of the series. This should also lead additional credence to the fact that Tyson is not only planning a return to boxing but is also looking to launch an Instagram animated series of his own.

Synopsis:

Do you wonder what it would be like if Mike Tyson were to solve mysteries as Scooby-Doo does? That’s the premise of an animated series geared toward adults — without the talking dog. Tyson voices his character, who tackles problems with help from the Mike Tyson Mystery Team: the ghost of the Marquess of Queensberry, Mike’s adopted daughter Yung Hee, and a pigeon who was once a man. The former boxing champ and his team answer any plea to close unsolved enigmas. Lending their voices to the show are comic Norm Macdonald and Oscar-winner Jim Rash.

 

(L to R) Rick, Summer and Morty wait to see what happens when you press the button.

Rick and Morty actress Spencer Grammer (“Summer”) was involved in an altercation last Friday Night in NYC where she was slashed by a pedestrian during a bar quarrel. The incident happened outside The Black Ant restaurant in Manhattan where Spencer attempted to break up an altercation that caused her to receive a slash on her arm while her friend was stabbed in the back, both are expected to make speedy recoveries
