Adult Swim officially renews Tuca and Bertie for a third season
By Mads Lennon
Adult Swim has officially renewed Tuca and Bertie for a third season! After the show was canceled after just one season by Netflix in 2019, fans worried they’d never get to see their favorite bird BFFs again. But then Adult Swim swept in and gave the show a second chance.
Still, it’s hard to predict what series are going to get a chance to thrive or not, so fans have been worried the network would simply cancel it again after one new season. Thankfully, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Adult Swim appears committed to the show.
It’s not too surprising, given that Tuca and Bertie has received critical acclaim since its initial premiere. The current season is close to wrapping up, with the final two episodes of the season premiering on Sunday, August 8, followed by the finale on August 15.
Adult Swim also secures international rights for Tuca and Bertie
Apart from renewing the series for another season. Adult Swim has also secured the international rights for the second and third seasons so they can make the series available globally.
Right now, the only way you can watch the show is via Adult Swim, including the website and app, but eventually, the show should also be available to stream through HBO Max. It’s a little less clear if Adult Swim will broadcast the first season, which is still on Netflix.
Since it isn’t mentioned in the announcement news, I’m assuming Season 1 is still exclusive to Netflix for the time being.
Tiffany Haddish, Ali Wong, and Steven Yeun lead the cast of Tuca and Bertie as Tuca, Bertie, and Speckle, respectively. The rest of the voice cast includes Nicole Byer, Richard E. Grant, Reggie Watts, and Pamela Adlon.
