Aqua Teen Hunger Force Rises Back with an Electrifying Groove in Season 12 Trailer

The Big Picture

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is returning for Season 12 after an eight-year hiatus, promising misadventures and funky beats.

The trailer for the upcoming season hints at confrontations with AI appliances, an Egyptian pyramid scheme, a fitness club linked to the end of the world, and many other intriguing aspects.

The cherished formula of the show remains unchanged, but there have been enhancements made to the animation, along with the exciting return of the entire creative team and voice cast.

The fast-food trio of Frylock, Master Shake, and Meatwad are making a comeback after an eight-year hiatus from Adult Swim. The highly-anticipated Season 12 of Aqua Teen Hunger Force will consist of five episodes, set to premiere on November 26. Our website is exclusively releasing the trailer for this revival, where the foods showcase their unique "detective" skills and tease the misadventures that await them.

Continuing from where Season 11 left off in 2015, Season 12 promises an exciting journey for the boys. They will encounter AI appliances, get involved in an Egyptian pyramid scheme, and join a possibly apocalyptic fitness club. The trailer also hints at the gang forming a rock band and Master Shake becoming the champion of a fast-food-themed Roman Colosseum. Their neighbor and friend Carl will also be part of their schemes, dealing with the challenge of selling his house due to its proximity to giant food. He will join them on a hypnotic adventure with an Egyptian god, rock out dressed as a member of Kiss, and face his fears of being caught on a show similar to To Catch a Predator.

The Whole 'Aqua Teen' Creative Team is Back With Huge New Guest Stars

Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Adult Swim's pioneering series, has garnered a dedicated following over the years since its inception in 2000. While the logline suggests changes to characters like Master Shake and Frylock, the trailer assures fans that the beloved formula remains intact. Season 12 will, however, push the boundaries of animation, exemplified by the Roman Colosseum episode's exploration of different art styles for the fast-food trio, showcasing both intricate details and pixelated aesthetics like never seen before. Despite these experimental visuals, viewers can still anticipate the same comedic brilliance that solidified the show as one of the premier adult animated comedies.

Notably, Willis is also a star, portraying both Meatwad and Carl, while the talented Carey Means voices Frylock and Dana Snyder brings Master Shake to life.

Joining them are Dan Fogler from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and experienced voice actor Gary Anthony Williams.
