United Arab Emirates -Friday March – Cartoon Network announced today the return of one of its most celebrated animated comedy series, Regular Show. Premiering with a special half-hour episode on Cartoon Network HD and air Weekdays @ 5pm KSA | 6pm UAE | 4pm CEST starting May 11th., Regular Show: The Lost Tapes uncovers all-new chaotic escapades of Mordecai and Rigby.
Created by Executive Producer JG Quintel and produced by Cartoon Network Studios, Regular Show: The Lost Tapes centres on Mordecai and Rigby – best friends who work and live at a local park. Somehow, their mundane jobs always descend into surreal chaos, much to the annoyance of their boss and coworkers. From crashing a friend’s luau to searching for the sweetest spot to take a nap, avoiding work quickly spirals into thwarting surreal disasters…in the most hilarious and entertaining of ways.
Warner Bros. Discovery GM, International Kids, Animation and Franchise Vanessa Brookman said: “Regular Show has always been a cultural lightning bolt, defined by bold humour, unforgettable characters and a distinctive visual style. Its return underscores our commitment to premium animation with global appeal. With Regular Show: The Lost Tapes, JG Quintel and the team honour the original’s legacy while introducing something fresh. We’re excited to bring Mordecai, Rigby and the gang back to audiences worldwide, while welcoming a new generation of fans.”
President, Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios, Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe, Sam Register said: “Thank goodness JG works harder than Mordecai and Rigby, or we might have had to wait another nine years to see these characters again. With Regular Show: The Lost Tapes, JG and his incredible team have delivered the same absurd humour and genuine heart that made Regular Show a classic. We’re excited to welcome fans back to the park.”
Creator and Executive Producer, JG Quintel said: “It’s been so much fun working with everyone on more Regular Show. We’re just making stuff for ourselves and trying to crack each other up. It reminds me a lot of the original run. I can’t wait for everyone to see it.”
