Can't Adult Swim bring back previously cancelled content for their block? After all they brought back Toonami.

I'd like to see them bring back Close Enough and Infinity Train (that way the mature content of that show will be more allowed).

Infinity Train was written off so they can’t do anything with that even if they want to.

As for everything else, most of the time things are cancelled because they perform poorly, so it doesn’t make much sense to bring them back.

"After all they brought back Toonami."

I think Family Guy and Futurama are more fitting examples, since we seem to be talking more about shows here. Although even then, I'm not sure if that sort of thing is as feasible as it was in the first decade of Adult Swim.

There are quite a few shows they saved from network tv failure, going back to Home Movies on the first night of AS. More recently, they rescued Tuca and Bertie and gave it a couple more seasons. I don’t think they have much interest in doing this anymore, though. They haven’t really been snatching up every failed Fox cartoon like they used to. Max stuff that WBD already gave up on and wrote off has no chance of airing.

I would absolutely love to see more Infinity Train, but since WB wrote it off, I don't think that Adult Swim could rescue it. Close Enough would be a better fit for the block by comparison, but I think it was written off as well.

I've been looking and I don't see anything about both shows being written off. It was just removed from streaming platforms.

You can buy the first season of Infinity Train on Amazon Plus, and I think you can buy some episodes of Close Enough on iTunes.

Now, that would be great....if it was in my dream. In reality? Not gonna happen.

You may be right… after looking into the situation, I see the creator said the reason for the removal was to avoid paying residuals. There are some shows which were removed from Max but not written off as far as we know.

So uh... what's going on with Infinity Train?

Infinity Train Taken off HBOMax The announcement on Wednesday of Infinity Train, OKKO, Summer Camp Island, The Fungies and many other shows being taken off of HBOMax was a shock to all of us. Not just to fans, but to the creators and artists that made the shows as well. I had no idea it was...

Infinity Train was not actually written off. It still could be. But it hasn't been yet.

Final Space WAS written off, but as far as I'm aware, Infinity Train and Close Enough were only removed.

Which gives Adult Swim the perfect opportunity to pick it up for their block. I know Owen Dennis is doing the Among Us cartoon but once that's over with maybe they can get him back.

And JG Quintel isn't doing anything at the moment.
