Animated ‘Royal Crackers’ Greenlit For Season 2 By Adult Swim

Adult Swim, the primetime and late night programming block from Cartoon Network themed to young adults, has optimistically ordered a second season of the animated comedy Royal Crackers before its debut this Sunday. Created by and featuring the voice of Jason Ruiz, Royal Crackers follows the Hornsby family as they vie for control of their once-successful cracker company.

“Television has done a great job exploring how families clash over the fate of oil, media or cattle empires, but until now, no one has had the courage to address the savory snack food industry,” noted Michael Ouweleen, President of Adult Swim and Cartoon Network in a statement.

“We’re all super grateful Adult Swim gave us the chance to tell more stories about our characters,” added Jason Ruiz. “And if you can’t wait to see what happens in season two, then buckle your seatbelts for season one.”

The official logline: Royal Crackers was once the king of snacks, but the empire is crumbling. When the family patriarch, tyrannical company founder Theodore Hornsby Sr. ends up in a “super coma,” the rest of the Hornsbys will take their lack of talent and business acumen and try to make Royal Crackers the success it once was.

Royal Crackers also features the voices of Andrew Santino (Dave), Jessica St. Clair (Veep, The Deep Dive podcast), David Gborie (All Fantasy Everything podcast), Maile Flanagan (Not Dead Yet) and Fred Tatasciore (Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal). Jason Ruiz serves as executive producer along with Seth Cohen (The Last Man on Earth). The series is produced by Titmouse.

The first three episodes of Royal Crackers will debut Sunday, April 2 at 11 pm ET on streaming service Adult Swim and the next day on HBO Max. The number of episodes ordered for season two has not been confirmed.
