Adult Swim has picked up a third season of the animated comedy Yolo.

The series from Michael Cusack ranked No. 2 in its time slot across cable in key demos in its second season. The third installment, which will be dubbed Yolo: Rainbow Trinity, will continue to follow a pair of Australian best friends through absurd and fantastical adventures.

The announcement about the pickup was made today at New York Comic-Con.

Adult Swim also announced that it has ordered new stop-motion series called Women Wearing Shoulder Pads, which follows a wealthy Spaniard living in Ecuador as she journeys through the complicated world of love, family, commercials, and cuyes, a.k.a. South American guinea pigs.

The new series will mark Adult Swim’s first-ever Spanish-language series, not to mention the return of the stop-motion animation format.

“While we’ve all seen a million stop motion shows in Spanish featuring an all-female cast centered on the plight of guinea pigs, Gonzalo Cordova’s unique voice and the visually rich stop-motion from Cinema Fantasma meant that we couldn’t pass up on Women Wearing Shoulder Pads,” said Michael Ouweleen, president, Adult Swim, in a statement. “We are also big fans of Michael Cusack’s creative vision, and it’s a huge win for us to continue working with him on the hilarious Yolo.”

Yolo is loosely based on Cusack’s web series of the same name. The first season, Yolo: Crystal Fantasy, bowed in August of 2020. The second season, Yolo: Silver Destiny, premiered in January of this year.
