Regular Show: The Lost Tapes release date has been confirmed

Cartoon Network's Regular Show will return in May under its new name Regular Show: The Lost Tapes. The eight-season animated series' revival appears to have leaked early, thanks to a now-pulled YouTube video that promises a new look at the new Regular Show on Monday, March 23.

The return of Regular Show was announced in 2024, when Warner Bros. revealed at that year's Annecy festival that original creator (and hardcore Sega fan) J.G. Quintel was attached to the new series. Regular Show originally ran on Cartoon Network from 2010 to 2017 across 244 episodes. The show's eighth and final season aired under the title Regular Show in Space.

The surreal animated series follows the daily lives of blue jay Mordecai and raccoon Rigby, who work — and aggressively slack off — for Benson, a living gumball machine and groundskeeper for a park. They interact with fellow weirdos Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost, and Skips the yeti. Series regular voice actors expected to return for Regular Show: The Lost Tapes include Quintel, Sam Marin, Mark Hamill, William Salyers, and Janie Haddad Tompkins.

The show's official YouTube channel is currently streaming a marathon of Regular Show season 6.

Over the course of its run, Regular Show was nominated for multiple Annie and Emmy awards. The series spawned a movie in 2015 called Regular Show: The Movie, a Nintendo 3DS game titled Mordecai and Rigby in 8-Bit Land, and a lawsuit from Donkey Kong high score champ and hot sauce entrepreneur Billy Mitchell.

Regular Show: The Lost Tapes is expected to return on May 11, and we'll find out soon enough if that date sticks.
