Adult Swim Greenlights Mike Tyson Show, Renews 17 Including Controversial Loiter Squad

Slate features Galifianakis and Dan Harmon's Rick and Morty

UPDATED: Turner's Adult Swim has greenlit five new series, including a show from retired heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson called Mike Tyson's Mysteries, from Warner Bros. Animation (Warner Bros. owns Turner). Community creator Dan Harmon also got a pick up for new series Rick and Morty, a show about a scientific genius and his nephew, who is not a genius.

Renewals, interestingly, included Odd Future's sketch comedy series Loiter Squad, which produced a series of Mountain Dew commercials—one that a lot of people liked and one that a lot of people did not like (Adult Swim tells Adweek it had nothing to do with the production of the shorts).
