Overview
- Adult Swim announced the series order Friday, June 26, and Heist Brothers is now in production at Cartoon Network Studios as a 10-episode run of roughly 15-minute installments.
- Genndy Tartakovsky first pitched the project live at the Annecy festival in 2024 when it appeared under the working title Heist Safari.
- The show follows three frog brothers attempting a bank robbery, a premise introduced in animatics that emphasize fast, kinetic visual comedy.
- Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen said the series will blend Tex Avery-style cartoon chaos with Guy Ritchie-like crime energy and will feature a wall-to-wall custom EDM soundtrack.
- The greenlight was revealed during Adult Swim’s Studio Focus at the 2026 Annecy festival and fits the network’s wider strategy of backing short, festival-born, creator-led adult animation.
