After 21 years, Rooster Teeth is shutting down.
“Since inheriting ownership and control of Rooster Teeth from AT&T following its acquisition of TimeWarner, Warner Bros. Discovery continued its investment in our company, content and community,” Rooster Teeth General Manager Jordan Levin said in a company memo. “Now however, it’s with a heavy heart I announce that Rooster Teeth is shutting down due to challenges facing digital media resulting from fundamental shifts in consumer behavior and monetization across platforms, advertising, and patronage.”
Around 150 staff are being affected, plus dozens of contractors and freelancers. A post from Rooster Teeth Community Manager Chelsea Atkinson asked that fans remember everyone at Rooster Teeth is “processing this in real time just like you,” and announced there will be a livestream about the closure March 7 on the Rooster Teeth website.

Paramount+ today revealed the official trailer for season two of the hit series Halo. The new season will premiere the first two episodes globally on Thursday, February 8, in all countries where Paramount+ is available.
In season two, Master Chief John-117 (Pablo Schreiber) leads his team of elite Spartans against the alien threat known as the Covenant. In the wake of a shocking event on a desolate planet, John cannot shake the feeling that his war is about to change and risks everything to prove what no one else will believe – that the Covenant is preparing to attack humanity’s greatest stronghold. With the galaxy on the brink, John embarks on a journey to find the key to humankind’s salvation, or its extinction: the Halo.

The Justice League and the Huntsmen are back in Justice League x Rwby: Super Heroes & Huntsmen, Part Two, to conclude the underwhelming story from April’s part one. Other than commercial considerations, there is no real reason for the two teams to be paired together; no real character and dramatic opportunities are present, which may be why the story doesn’t really work.
We force the Jl heroes to be transformed into teen versions of themselves and brought to the Huntsmen’s world, working across Remnant’s four kingdoms of Vale, Mistral, Atlas, and Vacuo to fight the good fight. Superman, Wonder Woman (Laura Bailey), Batman (Troy Barker), and The Flash (David Dastmalchian) are teamed with Ruby (Lindsay Jones), Weiss (Kara Eberle), Blake (Arryn Zech), and Yang (Barbara Dunkelman) to fight the Grimms and save the world. As part two opens, we continue with the cliffhanger, the revelation that...

Let me start by saying I am not now, nor have I ever been a fan of Rwby, an American anime series that has been chugging along since its debut in 2013. For the last few years, producer Rooster Teeth has managed to partner with DC Comics for crossovers between the warriors, trained and dedicated to protecting the world of Remnant from Grimms, actual monsters.
I suppose it was inevitable that the comics crossovers would eventually find their way to the animated world where Rwby enjoys its fame. So, released recently is Justice League x Rwby: Super Heroes & Huntsmen, Part One, available as a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray/Digital HD combo pack from Warner Home Entertainment.
The World’s Greatest Super-Heroes are brought to Remnant to help the teen heroes save their world. Somehow, DC’s stalwarts wind up as teen versions of themselves, to better match the warriors. As a result,...

During this year's Rtx convention, media company Rooster Teeth shared some exciting announcements regarding one of its flagship properties. Rwby, the anime-style series that first premiered nearly a decade ago, is getting a feature film adaptation. The movie will be a crossover with another franchise owned by Warner Bros. Discovery: DC Comics' Justice League.
The film was announced during a panel at Rtx, which brings thousands of fans to Rooster Teeth's hometown of Austin, Texas. The Rwby x Justice League crossover movie will follow up a comic book series that mashes the two properties together. Variety noted that the upcoming motion picture -- which is due out sometime in 2023 -- will be animated by the team behind Rwby. Its story will be different from the one featured in the crossover comic books.

Following a sweeping reorganization in September that saw digital vet Jordan Levin ascending to general manager of Rooster Teeth, as three of the company’s co-founders -- Matt Hullum, Geoff Ramsey, and Burnie Burns -- stepped into creatively-focused roles, the Austin-based digital outfit today announced several more leadership changes.
First, Rooster Teeth has promoted Doreen Copeland (pictured above) from VP and head of production operations to VP and head of production. Throughout her tenure at Rooster Teeth, Copeland has produced myriad projects, from Lazer Team to Day 5. Additionally, the WarnerMedia-owned studio has upped two of its in-house producers -- Joe Clary and Sean Hinz to serve as its new co-heads of animation. Prior to being promoted, Clary served as lead producer for Rwby Volumes 6 and 7, while Hinz managed the production teams for Rtaa and Death Battle.

With his latest animated series gen: Lock, Gray G. Haddock looked to build on the previous successes of Rooster Teeth, the Austin-based studio where he serves as Head of Animation, while presenting an experience that pushed boundaries, in a number of ways.
A viral hit in 2012 that was then expanded with four subsequent volumes, Rooster Teeth’s Rwby set a precedent that all of the studio’s later series would strive to live up to. “Creatively, there was an incredible amount of pressure placed on the production for this show to succeed right out of the gate,” Haddock says. “I wanted to apply the lessons learned from stumbling backwards into the success that was Rwby, trying to recreate some of that alchemy, but also adding enough fresh ingredients and approaches to things that it wasn’t simply a Rwby clone.”

The Austin-based Rooster Teeth already created an international stir among anime fans with Rwby and now, with gen:lock, it has a potent-looking follow-up effort, especially considering its cast, which reads like a Comic-Con guest list: Michael B. Jordan (Black Panther), Dakota Fanning (The Alienist), David Tennant (Doctor Who), Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones), Asia Kate Dillon (Orange is the New Black) and Golshifteh Farahani (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales).
The premise of the series, as described by Rooster Teeth: “Fifty years in the future, an oppressive authoritarian force threatens to conquer the world. A daring team is recruited to pilot a new form of weaponized neuroscience that powers devastating mecha, but they must be willing to sacrifice everything to save the world.

Rooster Teeth, the Austin-based media giant that launched a video game publishing division two years ago, has unveiled its latest title: a multiplayer first-person shooter called Vicious Circle.
Set in a gritty, sci-fi comic book universe, Vicious Circle marks the first original IP game from Rooster Teeth Games.

Following its $85 billion takeover of Time Warner -- which has since been renamed WarnerMedia -- telecommunications giant At&T is finding new synergy between new and existing brands.
WarnerMedia-owned comic book publisher DC Entertainment, which is behind iconic franchises like Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, has pacted with Austin-based Rooster Teeth to create comic books inspired by two of the digital network’s flagship series. Comic book and graphic novel adaptations of Rwby and gen:lock will arrive in 2019. More comics could arrive in the future, Rooster Teeth Animation head Gray G. Haddock announced over the weekend at New York Comic-Con.
The ensuing comics will seek to expand the worlds around popular characters, bridge stories between seasons, and explore the adventures of supporting characters who play a direct role in the overall plot, said DC chief creative officer and publisher Jim Lee.

“Rwby” volume 6, the latest installment of Rooster Teeth’s popular anime-style series, will premiere Oct. 27, the company announced.
The new season (which Rooster Teeth dubs “volumes”) will initially be available on the company’s subscription-streaming service, which starts at $4.99 monthly, with new episodes to be released on a weekly basis.
“Rwby” is set in the magical world of Remnant, in which four girls — Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang — fight legions of evil monsters. In volume 6, “Rwby’s” female foursome have been reunited and their first mission back is one of grave importance: escorting the Relic of Knowledge to Atlas. With Beacon Academy destroyed and the kingdom of Mistral compromised, per Rooster Teeth, “Remnant’s northernmost academy may now be the safest place in the world, but making it there will be more dangerous than anyone could have imagined.”
