The iconic digital media brand has been reacquired by its co-founder and will relaunch with a renewed focus on creativity and community.

  • Burnie Burns, co-founder of Rooster Teeth, has acquired the brand and many of its assets through his production company, Box Canyon Productions.
  • The acquisition does not include some key properties such as RWBY, which was sold to Viz Media in 2024, or other IPs that reverted to their creators.
  • The relaunch will focus on reviving classic shows, new productions like the audio drama 'Again,' and a reimagining of Burns' first film, 'The Schedule.'
  • Burns emphasized a commitment to returning Rooster Teeth to its roots, prioritizing fan engagement, creativity, and innovation.
  • Production on new and classic content is expected to ramp up by summer 2025, with details to be shared in upcoming announcements and podcasts.
