Rooster Teeth's Red vs. Blue Will End With a (Feature-Length) Bang

News dropped earlier this month that Warner Bros. Discovery is shuttering Austin, Texas-based animation company Rooster Teeth—and now one of the studio’s most beloved titles is getting a big send-off. Red vs. Blue: Restoration, the web series’ 19th season, is arriving in May, and it’ll be released as a single feature film.

Here’s the synopsis for the film, which like all of Red vs. Blue is set within the world of Xbox game franchise Halo: “When the universe’s greatest villain returns in a terrifying new form, old adversaries, the Reds and Blues of Blood Gulch, will have to set aside their differences to save the galaxy one last time.”

Burnie Burns returned to the series he co-created to write the script for the film, which is directed by another Red vs. Blue veteran, Matt Hullum. “I’m thrilled to return for Red vs. Blue: Restoration, and to conclude this incredible 21-year journey with our longtime fans,” Burns said in a press release. Added Hullum, “Red vs. Blue has been a cornerstone of Rooster Teeth’s legacy, and we’re immensely proud of what we’ve accomplished together.”

Burns and Hullum also introduce the Restoration trailer, released today:

The Only Version of Return of the King Worth Watching Missing From Max After Streaming Bug

Screenshot: Warner Bros. Bad news for Max subscribers who’ve made re-watching The Lord of the Rings extended editions an annual New Year tradition: the third film in the trilogy, The Return of the King — which just celebrated its 20th anniversary! —is only available to stream in its theatrical version. No ancient evil is to blame, thankfully; it’s an unspecified “tech issue,” according to a Max spokesperson who responded to a comment request from Vulture after the issue was noted by dismayed fans on Reddit . The fact that The Return of the King extended edition is merely temporarily unavailable is actually good news given Max’s track record for removing content in the past, and the explanation makes sense considering The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers remain available in both their theatrical and extended editions. The Max spokesperson assured Vulture that The Return of the King extended edition will be, ah, returning soon to the service, though as of this writing i
