ROBOT CHICKEN Season 7 Announced and Zombie Joss Whedon Revealed!
The Robot Chicken panel at New York Comic Con kicked off with an awesome sizzle reel showing fans what's in store for the rest of Season 6, and that this sixth season will end with Zombie Joss Whedon! They even showed off a quick little look at Whedon as a zombie. The Avengers director plays himself in the episode and they showed some behind the scenes footage of Whedon in a recording booth making zombie sounds, and confessing that this is the role he's been waiting for. According to our writer who was there, Lucas Lowman, "there was not one person who wasn’t laughing hysterically."
Then Seth Green made an epic announcement that all Robot Chicken fans are going to love to hear! Adult Swim renewed the series for a seventh season and will be back and badder than ever next year!! There was also some talk of doing another DC comic special -- makes us wonder when and if they will ever get around to doing a Marvel special, because that would be amazing!
Some other highlights from the panel include some Season 6 episodes that will include a Star Trek: The Next Generation sketch that shows the specifics on how and why Dr. Noonien Singh gave Data functioning sexual anatomy. There will also be a rap battle between 50 Cent and PaRappa the Rapper. Green also mentioned that he was surprised there hasn't been a Mass Effect skit yet, so maybe somewhere down the road that could happen.
Lucas went on to tell us that the team over at Robot Chicken all love what they do. "Being geeky for the geeks." These guys always put on a good panel at the conventions!
