Close Enough, the adult animated comedy from Regular Show creator JG Quintel returns to HBO Max for a third season on April 7.

Meanwhile, Adult Swim has picked up a second season of new
show Teenage Euthanasia. Co-created by Alissa Nutting (Made for Love), and Emmy-nominated producer Alyson Levy (The Shivering Truth) the series centers on the family life of

Craig Of The Creek is back for two weeks of all-new episodes on
Cartoon Network starting from April 11. New
episodes will air daily Monday to Friday and will be added to HBO Max's
library the day after. In the run-up to the new episodes, Cartoon
Network will also be screening every Craig Episode Ever starting
April 4.
HBO Max also has two new animated series joining later in the month:
Dodo, from April 28 and Lamput from April 29:
Based on the multi-award-winning short film Not The End Of The World by British creator and series director Jack Bennett, Dodo depicts the drama and unwieldy memories every child experiences during middle school. The series is a funny, heartwarming portrayal of everyday school life following 11-year-old Joe Connolly as he navigates the pitfalls of his first year at high school. The smallest events mean big drama for Joe who is just trying to fit in. He may have lost his school trousers or sent a text message to the wrong girl, but with his friends Frisbo, Pete, and Lily at his side, he somehow triumphs over adversity and lives to see another school day.
Lamput, the hilarious animated chase comedy, will make its U.S. debut this month, streaming Friday, April 29, on HBO Max. The playful series follows Lamput, a gooey orange substance, as he escapes from a secret laboratory. Two scientists, Specs Doc and Skinny Doc, try their best to catch him but can’t quite pin down the master of disguise
There's something undoubtedly bittersweet about Scrat Tales, the new
shorts featuring the true stat of the Ice Age movies. The
controversial Ice Age Adventures Of Buck Wild was entirely Scrat free
as Disney was engaged in a legal dispute over the rights to the character.
It was subsequently solved, meaning that these shorts were the very last
thing completed at Blue Sky Studios. Get a first look at the series
in the trailer, below.
Crunchyroll have dropped a teaser for the final episode of
Attack On Titan! The last episode of the final season will be simulcast
on Crunchyroll and Funimation on April 4, with the
English dubbed version set to premiere on May 1. Are you ready for the
end?
