Teen Titans Go! -- The Teen Titans are returning to Cartoon Network with all-new
comedic adventures, and this time they're giving viewers a look at what
life is really like as a teen super hero...once the cape comes off.
Inspired by the original Teen Titans series from Warner Bros.
Animation that ran for five seasons, the character-driven comedy focuses
on the funny that happens in between saving the world and living
together as teenagers without adult supervision. The comedic mayhem of
the animated series is punctuated by pranks and the occasional need to
fight crime, but it will also deal with the everyday issues of
adolescence. With epic staring contests to decide who does the laundry, a
series of quests and battles to construct the perfect sandwich or
fighting crime in Jump City, one thing is for sure: These Titans will
always be ready for an adventure -- inside the house and out. Produced
by Warner Bros. Animation, Teen Titans Go! features the
principal voice cast from the original series -- Greg Cipes, Scott
Menville, Tara Strong, Hynden Walch and Khary Payton -- with Sam
Register (MAD, Teen Titans, Batman: The Brave and The Bold) serving as executive producer and Michael Jelenic (ThunderCats) and Aaron Horvath (MAD) serving as producers. Teen Titans Go! will premiere on Cartoon Network in April.
Revolution -- In this epic adventure from J. J. Abrams's Bad Robot Productions and Supernatural's
Eric Kripke, a family struggles in an American landscape where every
piece of technology-computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights-has
mysteriously blacked out forever. A drama with sweeping scope and
intimate focus, Revolution is a swashbuckling journey of hope and rebirth seen through the eyes of one strong-willed young woman, Charlie Matheson (Being Human's
Tracy Spiridakos) and her brother, Danny (Graham Rogers). When Danny is
kidnapped by militia leaders for a darker purpose, Charlie reconnects
with her estranged uncle, Miles (Twilight's Billy Burke), a
former U.S. Marine living a reclusive life. Together with a rogue band
of survivors, they set out to rescue Danny, overthrow the militia, and
ultimately reestablish the United States of America. All the while, they
explore the enduring mystery of why the power failed and if-or how-it
will ever return. The series also stars Giancarlo Esposito, Zak Orth,

Mitchell. From Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Bad Robot
