Regular Show in Space[3] is the eighth and final season[4][5] of the American animated comedy television series Regular Show, created by J. G. Quintel. It was announced on July 7, 2015 and began airing on September 26, 2016 on Cartoon Network in the United States.

Development

Production

The series was renewed for an eighth season on July 7, 2015, along with many other Cartoon Network shows.[6] Regular Show is one of two Cartoon Network series ever to get an eighth season, the other being Adventure Time. The release date was announced at San Diego Comic-Con and the season premiered on September 26, 2016. The writer and storyboard artists for season 8 are Benton Connor, Madeline Queripel, Casey Crowe, Owen Dennis, Minty Lewis, Ryan Pequin, Sam Spina, Gideon Chase, Alex Cline, and newcomer Sean Glaze. In March 2016, Kacie Hermanson was announced as the new main character designer for the season,[7] replacing long-time designer Ben Adams, who left the show after the sixth episode of the season to work on Billy Dilley's Super-Duper Subterranean Summer for Disney XD. Calvin Wong serves as supervising director. The story writers for the season are Quintel, Sean Szeles, Gina Ippolito, Patrick Baker, and Matt Price, who is also the story editor. Szeles also serves as supervising producer, while Ryan Slater serves as producer.

On September 13, 2016, Cartoon Network announced that the then-upcoming eight season will be the final season to air from September 26, 2016 to January 2017.

Making ‘Regular Show’ has been so much fun, Quintel said. “We got to tell all of the stories we wanted to tell, and making the choice to go out exactly how we want to go out. We’re so proud and excited for people to see how we’re wrapping things up in a big, big way. We’re bringing everything full circle.[8]
