If they plan to drop it on May 11 here, this could mean that the US feed would premiere it at an adjacent date. That's what we're theorizing.

I know it will likely come around May but if the show doesn't have a US premiere date by the end of this month, it's most likely going to Hulu. Of course we can't jump into conclusions but announcing international premiere first is suspicious.

It seems that all leaked European promos were also striked because of revealing the date.

Here is the official poster for the new animated series. They put it on the US account of Cartoon Network on X, after we saw the promo uploaded on international CN accounts before being removed, and also on YouTube Channels dedicated to international CN promos before being striked by the owner’s copyright.

Cartoon Network unveils Regular Show: The Lost Tapes

Cartoon Network has announced the return of Regular Show. Premiering with a special half-hour episode on May 11th across Cartoon Network’s global channels, Re

www.advanced-television.com

Yep, it's official. May 11th is the release date on Cartoon Network everywhere.

We haven't had a universal and global simultaneous release like this one that outright includes the U.S. since the coordinated release of the Teen Titans Go! season 8 finale "Four Hundred".

Also, a Regular Show section will be officially coming to the Cartoon Network Game On! Roblox experience too.

Only 7 more weeks to G'OHHHHHHHHH

Knew this wasn't gonna be a Hulu original

So May 11 was the US premiere date all along?

I think yes, but the article says “globally”.

We thought we’re going to see something similar to the 1 minute trailer of Gumball revival (A.K.A The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball; or known as Gumball S7) after the short trailer, but it won’t be.

Now I get it

Foreign feeds leaked the promo causing takedowns on YouTube likely because nothing official was said from WBD last week

So I was wrong. I guess it's airing at 4 or 4:30p which isn't too bad. The best timeslots for CN on weekdays.

Probably 4.30pm ET as a lead-in to Adult Swim (just like the original series), then 4.45pm ET for episodes after the half-hour first episode special.

They haven't done the 15 and 45 slots for a very long time so it will likely just stay at 4:30p with reruńs at 4:45. The top of the hour and half-hours slots are the norm now in the States.

And one more thing:
Internationally (except maybe Greece and Cyprus, unless they start dubbing CN shows into Greek and not just only Boomerang or Cartoonito ones), it'll be releasing on HBO Max on May 11th simultaneously alongside its release on every non-U.S. Cartoon Network feed (excluding certain free-to-air channels that have to air it later like CN Arabic or Boing Italy) on that same day.

In the United States, it'll also air on Cartoon Network on May 11th like in other markets. However, it will be simultaneously released on HBO Max and Hulu at a later date in the U.S.

In Canada, expect to see this show on Adult Swim Canada and on Teletoon+ and STACKTV day-and-date with international and U.S. markets.

Regardless of timeslot (and length), the point is, that it will likely air before the start of Adult Swim.

I got your point and didn't state it would air in the morning anyway. 4 or 4:30 is what I predicted.

Awesome to see a CN show not have a messy release schedule and actually air the same day everywhere.

From the front page of AnimeSuperhero.com:

"Regular Show: The Lost Tapes Premieres On Cartoon Network May 11"​

"Everyone should be happy to hear this, with the exception of a hotheaded sentient gumball machine: Mordecai and Rigby are back, slacking off and tearing up the city park this May in Regular Show: The Lost Tapes. How can the show return after it ended so definitively? Easy….there are lost tapes!

Look, you wanna argue about timelines and continuity? Don’t ruin this for yourself. It’s new episodes of Regular Show. That’s a freakin’ miracle. Don’t question a blessing, just accept it! The premise will remain the same: the bluejay and raccoon start the day doing something mundane, which escalates into the near-destruction of the universe. Then the next day it happens again."

I want a trailer xD:⁠-⁠|

...wait, this is going to be CABLE-ONLY UNTIL IT'S OVER? I hadn't heard about this development. I haven't seen a show from any company do that in years. A bizarre choice in 2026, but it's certainly more nostalgic that way ig.

Hopefully this Saturday after the Spies finale. They are going to start promoting it way early in advance because this will be the biggest CN series premiere after a while. It seems that later part of this year CN should be back on track with Foster's and Adventure Time premiering as well. They might actually cook this year.

My theory is that they saved all the money for this so they could offer a higher bid compared to Hulu. This is likely why they didn't get Gumball.
