Last July, in the wake of Rooster Teeth’s closure that left the fate of Rwby up in the air, it was announced that Viz Media had acquired the web series’ IP, giving fans hope for its future. That future appears to now be set in stone as a new volume is officially in the works, as revealed by showrunner Kerry Shawcross. The previous installment of Rwby, Volume 9, was released two years ago, on February 18, 2023, on Crunchyroll and was the first to debut exclusively on the streamer. It concluded on March 30, 2024.

Speaking in a video posted on the official Rwby YouTube channel, Shawcross expressed excitement to see how far the beloved animation has come since its debut in 2013, thanks to the ever-supportive fandom, both longtime and newcomers alike. The series EP then confirmed that Rwby Volume 10 is now "super deep" in development with the possibility of even more installments in the future,...

The announcement comes on the heels of several positive developments for the previously troubled franchise.

Rwby Volume 10 in Early Production in Major Series Update

The journey to Volume 10 has been nothing short of a roller-coaster ride for the fandom. Rwby's future was initially left in limbo following the closure of its production studio, Rooster Teeth, by Warner Bros. Discovery after several unsuccessful attempts to sell the studio off.

Last month, Hulu surprised Rwby fans with a seemingly accidental streaming announcement for Rwby: The Complete Series. After several days of uncertainty, the Rwby franchise has confirmed that Volumes 1-9 of the hit series will become available on Hulu starting July 5.

On July 1, Rwby's official X (formerly Twitter) page revealed the news with an update post featuring a short video starring Rwby voice actor Kerry Shawcross and two other members of the main cast. "Every volume, every epic fight, emotional turn, heroic moment all at the touch of a button," Rwby's staffers wrote. "Are you ready to rewatch it all or experience Rwby for the first time? Team Rwby forever!!! " After Rooster Teeth's initial closure in May 2024, Hulu's acquisition of Rwby marks the series' long-awaited return to the streaming world.

The popular anime-inspired series Rwby has found a brand-new home at North America's biggest manga licensor. The series is now in exciting talks with Viz Media for a highly anticipated continuation.

Recently, fans of Rooster Teeth have noticed that some of the entertainment company’s biggest shows have been disappearing from YouTube. On October 5, Rooster Teeth showrunner Kerry Shawcross provided the rationale behind that decision: In hopes of increasing its revenue, the company is turning some of its top draws into website exclusives.

The content that will be exclusively available through Rooster Teeth’s official hub includes two animated shows: Camp Camp and Red vs. Blue. The latter program, which dates back to 2003, is the longest-running web series in internet history. It is set to begin its 19th season later in 2023.

Those animated hits were previously available on multiple platforms, including YouTube, where Rooster Teeth counts more than nine million subscribers on its primary channel. But Shawcross explained that “YouTube revenue just isn’t cutting it for us anymore,” necessitating a focus on the company’s website. “We know that it...

Rooster Teeth is moving its content from YouTube to its own website, a move designed to bolster revenue that will allow them to create more content.

In a video posted to X, showrunner Kerry Shawcross said that “YouTube revenue is just not cutting it for us anymore.” He noted that watching a video on the Rooster Teeth website with an ad delivers “five to ten times more value” to the company than a view on YouTube. “It just doesn’t make sense anymore for us to have our whole back catalog on YouTube.”

Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Rooster Teeth celebrated its 20th anniversary this year as a production company. It is currently a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery. Its popular streaming shows include Red vs. Blue and Camp Camp. It also released the feature film Lazer Team, and hosts the annual Rtx convention.

As it expans beyond its gaming-oriented roots, Rooster Teeth has paid particular attention to the world of animation, from which it has mined several long-form projects. The latest in that line is Sex Swing, a ribald comedy based on characters created by the Rooster Teeth-owned Funhaus channel.

Sex Swing will follow the misadventures of its titular band, a rock outfit that lives a hard-partying lifestyle. The series is stylistically similar to the show Metalocalypse, as Rooster Teeth looks to grab a piece of the adult animation boom led by Adult Swim.

Like many other Rooster Teeth projects, Sex Swing will feature several of the studio’s staff members and frequent collaborators in its principal roles. The show’s voice actors include Barbara Dunkelman, Jordan Cwierz, Gray G. Haddock, and Kerry Shawcross, and the original Sex Swing shorts were released through Funhaus, which was formed by the old Inside Gaming crew back in 2015. Cwierz,...

Rooster Teeth’s annual Rtx convention kicked off on August 7, 2015, with a panel dedicated to the production company’s anime series Rwby. In a packed ballroom, animation leads Kerry Shawcross, Miles Luna, and Gray Haddock, along with the four lead voice actresses, discussed their plans for the future of Rwby.

The Rwby panel started with a moment of silence for the show’s creator Monty Oum, who passed away unexpectedly in February 2015. The show’s cast and crew noted how the unfortunate situation has put them behind about five months on production, but that they’re still pressing forward with Rwby Volume 3 and all things Rwby-related.

For example, the Rwby cast and crew played a trailer for the Japanese-dubbed version of Rwby Volume 1. That version of the Rooster Teeth show, announced in August 2014, will be the first-ever American anime exported to Japan. The dubbed version of Rwby revealed its...
