-
Rooster Teeth’s newest show Grudge Night premieres October 7 exclusively for Rooster Teeth FIRST members. Good-natured competition has always thrived amongst the teams at Rooster Teeth, but in the background certain grudges have always simmered. In Grudge Night, these long standing grudges are settled over video game matches, tournament style.
-
Dead Little Roosters is coming soon to Rooster Teeth. A spiritual successor to 11 Little Roosters, Dead Little Roosters features a new cast of characters and is led by showrunner Josh Flanagan (11 Little Roosters, Day 5). A night of merriment turns macabre when a group of Rooster Teeth talent find themselves trapped in a mansion with a murderer in this hilariously interactive whodunnit.
-
Red vs. Blue: Zero premieres October 19. Red vs. Blue: Zero is written and directed by first-time showrunner Torrian Crawford (Death Battle). In Red vs. Blue Zero, a mysterious syndicate leader known only as Zero seeks an Ultimate Power, and a ragtag team of heroes and misfits called the SHATTER SQUAD must work together to save the galaxy.
