Adult Swim's newest series was created by Tyler, The Creator the rapper

Adult Swim is always on the lookout for its next weird hit. Whether it's Mike Tyson solving mysteries or an office building in Hell, they have no shortage of "high concept" series. The new show, The Jellies, comes from Tyler, the Creator and is about a family of jellyfish and their 16 yer old human son who finds out he's adopted, prompting a massive freakout.

On top of creating the series, Tyler also composed the music. Other voice actors for the show include Phil LaMarr, Blake Anderson, AJ Johnson and Kevin Michael Richardson. Adult Swim has released a clip of the series. Check it out.

Adult Swim has two more animated shows that will probably be just as weird as their current animated shows

Adult Swim is that friend that is super funny but likes to get equally dark. "The line" doesn't exist in their world. Better yet, they're the only comedy network to air specials revolving around bears. BEARS. That's pretty damn cool. This year they'll add two more quarter hour shows to their timeline.

The first is Apollo Gauntlet which follows a cop named Paul Cassidy who, thanks to evil Dr. Benign, is sent to another world where he fights crime with a talking pair of gauntlets and a magical suit. Apollo Gauntlet will premiere in the summer. The second show -- Hot Streets -- comes from writer Bryan Wysol (Rick and Morty) and follows an FBI agent named Mark Branski as he investigates his partner and her niece and dog. Hot Streets will debut in the fall. 

Adult Swim already orders another Rob Corddry Pilot

Having ended Children Hopital, and since Ballers isn't ending anytime soon, Rob Corddry has decided that he cannot have less than one television show on air. Enter Adult Swim who has ordered another pilot quarter-hour series called The Hindenbrg Explodes! Here's some more information on the series: 

“Adult Swim, a division of Turner, continues its successful partnership with Rob Corddry, the creator behind the Emmy-winning series Childrens Hospital, with The Hindenburg Explodes! a new comedy project. The quarter-hour live-action pilot is created by Corddry (Ballers), Josh Perilo (Wedlock) and Jonathan Stern (Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp).

On May 6, 1937, the infamous Hindenburg zeppelin made its final voyage from Nazi Germany to New Jersey, where it exploded over a landing field. The Hindenburg Explodes! follows that flight and its unusual crew and passengers. The pilot is executive produced by Corddry, Stern and Becca Kinskey (Adult Swim Late Night Infomercials) and produced by Abominable Pictures.”

'American Dad' to protect America for two more seasons

Seth Macfarlane sure has cornered the market on adult cartoon tv shows. First Family Guy hits the sweet spot The Simpsons missed in the early 2000's, then American Dad takes adult animation to an entirely different level. He even has a new show coming out on Fox called Border Town that looks to be classic Macfarlane. Deadline reports TBS is deciding to keep up the streak of loong running shows by renewing American Dad. The network took the show off of Fox's hands last year and it seems their purchase is paying off with the show scoring well in its demographic and time slot. Season 11's new episodes are coming next year with seasons 12 and 13 to follow. Both TBS and Adult Swim air these new episodes so that may also help with ratings.

Adult Swim announces New Pilots, Specials from Current Shows

Adult Swim is already jumping the gun on its own upfronts (which were supposed to be announced next week). THR reports the network released information on its latest projects. Prepare yourself for data overload.

One new quarter-hour show, TV Sucks, was picked up to series from creator Brad Neely (China, IL) that will be a sketch show featuring the likes of songs and bits. Seth Green is also making another one of those DC Comic/Robot Chicken Specials, Robot Chicken DC Comics Special III: Friendship Is Magic. Along with Green's special, Tim and Eric will return with two new Tim & Eric Bedtime Stories chapters and Brett Gelman will make third Dinner special. Phew. Adult Swim must feel very exclusive right now. 

On the new show front, Adam Scott and Jon Daly are making an untitled golf show in which the two play professional golfers. And Parks and Rec's own Councilman Jam, Jon Glaser, is making Neon Joe, Werewolf Hunter, a show that will most likely turn out the exact way it sounds.

Man. The late night network sure is packed with shows and specials. Here's a list of the pilots ordered too. Just in case you didn't want to wait to see what failed and what didn't.
