Superjail! is set to return for a second season on April 3rd at midnight (ET/PT) on Adult Swim, bringing one of the most violent and warped TV series back to your eyeballs. While season 1 was animated out of Augenblick Studios (who have their hands full with Ugly Americans), this new season is being produced at the new Titmouse studio in NYC.
In this behind-the-scenes clip below, we learn that Jackson Publick (co-creator of The Venture Bros.) is the story supervisor, and they’re knuckling down to add even more full-animation to the show. Along the way, you’ll hear from Superjail! co-creators Stephen Warbrick and Christy Karacas, and two members of the character layout team Tom Marsan and Joe Jurewicz. What I enjoyed the most from this clip was that Superjail! is called “an animator’s show.” You don’t often hear that about something produced in Flash.
