Final Space Finally Concluding As Graphic Novel

A few years ago Olan Rogers teamed up with Conan O’Brien’s production company CONACO to create a new sci-fi animated series called Final Space. It was somewhat different from most American adult animated shows in that it took its lore seriously and was full of dramatic moments, not just comedy. Over the three seasons Final Space ran on Adult Swim and TBS, it gained a cult following hungry for more. Then the parent company WB merged with Discovery and you can guess what happened next. Rogers had a six-season arc planned for Final Space. The TV series only got the chance to tell half that, and now it is unavailable on any streaming service or media format. In the meantime, Rogers has been poking various suits at WB, begging them to let him finish his story in one form or another. The circumstances didn’t make it look very possible, but as of today, we finally have some good news. In a video released to his personal YouTube channel, Rogers said

This weekend, new installments of Final Space and Birdgirl will premiere on Adult Swim. Here’s what to expect from each of ’em…. Tomorrow at 11:30, Final Space airs the latest episode of its tumultuous third season, which sees the crew exploring the titular Space that is Final for the first time. The dimension is fraught with danger, from godlike Titans to the warlord that gave them trouble in their home universe (he’s back). But Gary has his hands full just keeping his crew members alive. Last week he just barely resuscitated Quinn from a deadly poison, and THIS week he’s got to find a way to heal Bolo from a different infection altogether. Why won’t they stop getting sick? Final Space is a serialized intergalactic space saga about an astronaut named Gary and his adorable, planet-destroying friend, Mooncake.

This weekend, in addition to the mountain of usual reruns, Adult Swim will be premiering episodes from two of its originals. Tonight at 11:30, Final Space airs the latest episode of its tumultuous third season, which sees the crew exploring the titular Space that is Final for the first time. The dimension is fraught with danger, from godlike Titans to the warlord that gave them trouble in their home universe (he’s back). Then there’s the perilous predicament of the episode, this time a black hole. How do you escape a black hole? In reality you don’t, you just have your molecules squashed….but since this is a cartoon, there’s more than likely a way to escape its gravitation. Gary and the crew will just have to find it. Final Space is a serialized intergalactic space saga about an astronaut named Gary and his adorable, planet-destroying friend, Mooncake. Tune in for “All the Moments Lost,” when as the crew flees from the Lord Commander, they lightfold into the orbit of a mysterious

Don’t Forget About Final Space Season 3

As far as American cartoons are concerned, there’s nothing like Final Space, the cosmic epic that began on TBS but found a more fitting home on Adult Swim. While most animated series use comedy as their main focus, the situations in Final Space are often serious and carry some weight to them. The serialized drama element makes this show rather innovative among cable animation, and if you’re not a watcher, you should be. The intrepid but often inept Gary and his motley crew of space explorers are on a quest to save the universe…too bad they’re kind of making their plan up as they go. Whatever the fate of the universe is, it involves the threat of gargantuan creatures who up to this point have been safely locked away in a dangerous corner of the cosmos known only as “Final Space.” Gary’s mission in the first season was to stop a mad despot from opening a portal to Final Space, and though he kind of succeeded in closing it, the
