The Aqua Teens are back, baby! Everyone’s least favorite fast-food trio from the late-night adult swim cartoon Aqua Teen Hunger Force are returning to TV with the first new episodes since 2015. The show follows the absurd adventures of characters Meatwad, Frylock, Master Shake and their neighbor Carl. Don’t let the name deceive you; they’re not teenagers, and they’re certainly not aquatic.
The upcoming 12th season will consist of only five episodes, each being about fifteen minutes long. The official Adult Swim synopsis promises fans: “…The new season picks up where we left off in 2015, as Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad have returned to solve all of life’s modern issues, and Carl returns because he can’t sell his crappy house because he lives next door to food. Look for your favorite trio of ‘detectives’ to go head-to-head with A.I. appliances, join an apocalyptic fitness cult, and search for friendship through ancient Egyptian pyramid schemes. In the end, all problems shall be solved, and all brains shall be melted. Did Adult Swim mess with a winning formula? You better believe it! Master Shake now has two all-new facial expressions… ‘Bemused’ and ‘Lips Pursed in Thought!’ And Shake can close his hands now, as if to hold things! Also, Frylock is sixty stories high and Meatwad bounces to get around. Tune in to see if we’re telling the truth!”
Who knows what this could mean for society? Episodes will air on Sundays at 10:30 PM central time and will be available on HBO MAX the next day.
