[BONUS] ANNOUNCEMENT
🕑 Added 2025-02-05 11:19:59 +0000 UTCPLEASE READ
So. When we said announcements were coming, we were not kidding. Thought we might start with a small one first. This is a hell of a trust exercise, dear Patrons. We are giving you this info in advance of BOTH the press release and the public announcement.
Now... you could leak it. That's certainly a possibility. However, I sincerely hope that we will be able to share with you all truly advance, inside info as it becomes available. You all are the reason we are able to make moves like this. You literally make it happen. So, let's all just behave ourselves, yeah? Love ya.
This video is on Patreon, so be ready to claim your FIRST spots in the comments when it goes live on YouTube at 1200 GMT.
Oh and somebody please proofread the press release for me. I'm very tired.

Wait you didn't crash a drone into building 5. Or was that another proposed concept?
Jacob Kevinsson
You have some comma errors in the press release but nothing egregious. Mostly just in places that would be natural speaking pauses but shouldn't actually be there in writing. And the podcast debuted in 2023, not 2024. Hopefully you get these notes before the release goes to press.
Clayton pedigo

I feel I need to be transparent and say I truely have mixed emotions about this and I'm not sure that this is 100% for me. The way different branches of RT have evolved into their own podcasts and productions has felt more in line with how I've changed as a person over over the years. But, it doesn't nessecarily have to be for me. I know zero details about what this means. I am intrigued to see what this will evolve into and only wish for the success of everyone's involvement, à la smosh.

Burnie Burns
Rooster Teeth to Find a New Home with the Brand's Original Creator Burnie Burns at Box Canyon Productions Nine months ago, Rooster Teeth announced that it would shut its doors after 21 years of creating content. Today, the Rooster Teeth brand and much of its remaining assets have been acquired by founder Burnie Burns, and his independent company, Box Canyon Productions. Austin, TX – February 5, 2025 – Burnie Burns, founder of the online media outlet Rooster Teeth, has officially acquired the beloved entertainment brand. This milestone marks a new chapter for Rooster Teeth as it returns to the hands of its original creator as part of his company Box Canyon Productions. Under Burns’ leadership, the historic brand plans to renew its focus on innovation, community engagement, and the spirit of creativity that first defined its success. Burns started Rooster Teeth in 2003 with the breakout success of Red vs. Blue, the longest-running web series in history. Over the years, Rooster Teeth expanded into a multimedia powerhouse, producing hit shows like RWBY and the international RTX convention series, while fostering a passionate global fanbase. With this acquisition, Burns aims to reignite the collaborative and community-driven energy that made Rooster Teeth a trailblazer in digital entertainment. “I am excited at the challenge of bringing Rooster Teeth back to its roots,” said Burns. “The heart of this brand has always been its fans, and I look forward to writing a new chapter together.” As an early pioneer of online video content, Rooster Teeth set the standard for how fan-first entertainment could thrive in the digital age. With Burns back at the helm, fans can anticipate a renewed dedication to Rooster Teeth’s original mission: to entertain, inspire, and connect. Along with the acquisition, Box Canyon announced a new development slate of productions for 2025, including renewed production of some of the platform’s classic shows, a new original audio adventure Again, and an untitled reimagining of Burns’ first film The Schedule. For press inquiries, please contact press@roosterteeth.com ABOUT BOX CANYON Box Canyon Productions, founded in 2023 by Burnie Burns, the creator of Rooster Teeth, is dedicated to innovative storytelling and high-quality content across various media platforms. Their “Morning Somewhere” podcast debuted in 2024 on Spotify at number one in the UK, Australia, and Canada, and at number two in the United States. ABOUT ROOSTER TEETH From humble origins in a spare bedroom, Rooster Teeth created the web series Red vs. Blue, an innovative franchise that sparked the growth of a passionate global fandom. From that foundation, Rooster Teeth pioneered a direct-to-consumer lifestyle brand for its growing online audience with subscriptions, advertising, e-commerce, and live events. Rooster Teeth produced several original content series, including the world’s longest running web series, Red vs Blue, the ground-breaking Rooster Teeth Podcast, and daily video series featuring an in-house cast of influential talent. At its peak, Rooster Teeth boasted a massive global footprint of more than 30 million subscribers across its YouTube Network, 1.2 million unique monthly visitors across its apps, and more than 4 million registered community members.
