Adult Swim Stocks Sundays With 'Oh My God…Yes!' Premiere, 'YOLO' Season 3
Three premieres on a single night on a cable network? Whaaaaaa?
It has felt like quite a long time since a cable network has devoted its nighttime slots to more than two premieres on any given night in a week. The only thing that might’ve come close was Nickelodeon’s AfterToons last year, but well that’s afternoons. However, Adult Swim has built such a healthy slate of originals that it seems they’re about to do it. Already having the newly-premiered animated series Common Side Effects on the Sunday 11:30 PM time slot, the network is readying the premieres of the third season of YOLO, now subtitled Rainbow Trinity, and the new series Oh My God…Yes! A Series of Extremely Relatable Circumstances for this Sunday, March 9 at midnight and 12:15 AM Eastern. Oh My God…Yes! is also premiering with two episodes, so it’ll take 12:30 AM too for this week only. Both series have next-day streaming on Max.
YOLO was created by Smiling Friends co-creator Michael Cusack, and follows previous seasons Crystal Fantasy and Silver Destiny. It finds Australia’s famed party duo, Sarah, voiced by Sarah Bishop and Rachel, voiced by Todor Manojlovic), two best friends journeying through absurd and fantastical adventures where they encounter “more fun and silly characters” in their hometown of Wollongong. As the official synopsis puts it “Here we go again! Another installment of the YOLO franchise (yippee!), arguably in the top ten Intellectual Properties owned by Warner Bros. Discovery! This season has lots of fun and interesting things happen LOL! Sarah and Rachel are Australian party girls, and they go on crazy adventures! It’s soooo weird, zany and silly!!! The visuals are epic too. I hope you check this DUMB cartoon out 😛 hahaha. This is gonna be SO COOL. There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company). The weirdness and strangeness is OUT. OF. CONTROL in this new series!! LETS GOOO hahah!! WEE!! ASDNJKISADIAOS”. Yeah that.
Adult Swim Announces 'Smiling Friends' Season 3, Two Series Orders At Annecy
For those who have noticed that Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Disney Branded Television have moved off of Upfronts, Annecy International Animation Film Festival is where you want your attention to be because Warner Bros. Animation and Disney have moved their animation slate reveals there. This year’s edition was held this week, and boy did they deliv…
“Season three of YOLO is peak Michael Cusack,” said Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen. “It’s super surprising, fast and funny, with the types of cheery characters only Michael can do. Plus, I have to say, a lot of great song smithing from the man himself. If you haven’t yet experienced YOLO, this is the perfect season to dive in.”
Meanwhile, Oh My God…Yes! is about three black women, Sunny, Tulip and Ladi, friends who live in the not-so-distant future (previously described to be 2102) of South Central Los Angeles navigating womanhood in an “unpredictable, tech-driven” world. It’s created by Created by Emmy-nominated writer and executive producer Adele “Supreme” Williams, who comes from My Dad the Bounty Hunter, loosely based on Williams’ independently-produced comic and executive produced by The Simpsons alum Dominique Braud.
“Usually when someone uses a futuristic setting to comment on the present, it’s a brooding downer,” Ouweleen said about this series. “But Adele has made a future that is both plausible, relatable and most importantly, unique and hilarious.”
“The series is ripe with unconventional characters and the geography of the world honors that of the South Central I grew up in but with a sci-fi twist,” said Williams. “The scenarios our characters wind up in are pretty absurd but within the absurdity is a smart, bold exploration of — and commentary on — the human condition.” The series’s voice cast has not been announced.
For Adult Swim, Oh My God…Yes! A Series of Extremely Relatable Circumstances is produced by Six Point Harness, while YOLO: Rainbow Trinity is produced by Princess Pictures. Episode counts don’t seem to be known, but this three-show Sunday lineup should last at least five weeks as Common Side Effects will debut its sixth episode alongside these premieres.
