  • Burnie Burns, one of Rooster Teeth's co-founders, acquired the Rooster Teeth brand nearly a year after Warner Bros. Discovery shut it down.

Burnie Burns, co-founder of Rooster Teeth, has acquired the rights to "The Box Canyon Universe," which includes the popular web series "Red vs. Blue," from Warner Bros. Discovery. This acquisition allows Burns to take full creative control of the franchise, which he created in 2003. The deal was facilitated by Rooster Teeth's shutdown earlier in the year, leading to the sale of its intellectual properties. Burns plans to continue the legacy of "Red vs. Blue," which has amassed over 1 billion views and has been a significant part of internet culture, by exploring new storytelling avenues and potentially expanding the universe with new content. The move signifies a return to the roots for Burns, who aims to keep the spirit of the original series alive while adapting to modern digital platforms.
