Earlier this year Warner Bros. shut down production company Rooster Teeth, and one of their most popular projects was the original anime series RWBY.
The series launched in 2013 and ran for nine seasons. It also spawned a pair of spin-offs and two films that saw the heroes team up with DC’s Justice League.
Fans will be happy to know that the popular series has been acquired by Viz Media and the creative minds behind RWBY have confirmed that the series will be returning with new projects!
Co-creator of RWBY Patricia Kerry said: “As you can see, this is a huge opportunity to grow our audience and expand into the future.
“Talking to VIZ, they’re also very excited about that. Obviously they care about where the show is now, but they also care about where it started. And they want to make sure that we can continue that story.
“We are currently in talks with them (Viz Media) for RWBYand we are very confident about what the future holds for this beloved series.”
Fans were worried that RWBY would die with Rooster Teeth, but come on, the franchise is so popular it was only a matter of time before someone took it and ran with it. It’s too precious to let die.
