Season 4 of The Cyanide & Happiness Show set to debut on VRV

Cyanide and Happiness, the popular webcomic that has amassed millions of fans since its inception in 2005, will soon be returning to VRV with the fourth season of “The Cyanide & Happiness Show.” The show, based on Explosm Entertainments darkly comedic webcomics, will premiere on VRV later on this year.

The Cyanide & Happiness show debuted in 2014 on YouTube, since then it has built up a fanbase of 8.8 million subscribers. The show ran for three seasons with 31 episodes, with its last season premiering in 2017. In August of the same year, VRV gained the rights to air all seasons and episodes, with season 4 consisting of 10 episodes.

The plot of season four will be about a survivor in a post-apocalyptic earth, that discovers old VHS tapes of the Cyanide & Happiness show. He uncovers the craziest season yet, which will be filled with wacky heroes that are stuck in a wildly absurd universe that explores the burning questions everyone has been asking, and some that nobody has ever asked for.

Explosm Entertainment said about the upcoming season:

“With Season 4, we’re telling more stories with our favorite characters and introducing some new ones. We’re thinking of it as a big anthology of insane stories, some of which we’ve been working on since Season 1, but never had the chance to tell until now. If you’re a fan of the YouTube shorts, you’re really going to like Season 4!”

“VRV is a basecamp for adventure, fun, and irreverent animated comedy. We’re glad to be working with Explosm Entertainment and Studio71 to bring our fans the absurdly amusing new season of ‘The Cyanide and Happiness Show’ later this year,” said Sarah Victor, head of content development.

Adam Boorstin, Chief Business Officer at Studio71 said this about the partnership:

“We could not be more excited to partner with Explosm and VRV on the 4th Season of ‘The Cyanide and Happiness Show’. VRV is the ideal platform for the Series as it can live alongside VRV’s other top animation properties.”
