On June 2, FLCL: Progressive, or FLCL 2 as it’s been known until now, will debut on Adult Swim's Toonami at 11:30 PM (ET/PT). Progressive follows 14-year-old Hidomi and her classmate, Ide, as they’re pulled into antics to “unlock their hidden potential” by two otherworldly beings, Haruha Raharu and Jinyu. The synopsis promises the return of ATOMSK and a “certain Vespa Scooter.”FLCL: Alternative, or FLCL 3, debuts sometime in September on Toonami. This season “hands the series over to a totally different team of young creators who will redefine the meaning of ‘sequel,’” the announcement states. Alternative features 17-year-old Kana and her three friends Pets, Mossan, and Hijiri who live ordinary lives until Haruko and a mech fall out of the sky. ATOMSK is also involved somehow in this season. Adult Swim revealed it was teaming up with anime studio Production I.G. to co-produce two new sequel seasons of FLCL back in 2016. Progressive and Alternative will each have six episodes and original music from The Pillows. Kari Wahlgren is returning for her role as Haruka in both seasons for the English dub.Adult Swim’s senior vice president and creative director for on-air, Jason DeMarco, said during the 2017 FLCL Anime Expo Panel that the dub would air on Toonami and the sub would be available for streaming on Adult Swim’s streaming platform. Toonami is currently airing anime like JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Black Clover, and Dragon Ball Super.
