As grown ups, there are some of us who just can’t resist a good cartoon. Add to that bizarre humor and biting social satire, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for something you can’t find anywhere other than Adult Swim. Cartoon Network’s adult-oriented animated programming has been the place to find cartoons that are weird, witty, unhinged, and completely unfiltered for the last two decades. They have created a space for shows that refuse to follow conventional rules. From the crazy antics of Aqua Teen Hunger Force to the sci-fi adventures of Rick and Morty, and the sharp cultural critiques of The Boondocks, Adult Swim thrives on shows that challenge the rules and its audience.
Now, that rebellious, boundary-pushing spirit continues with Oh My God…Yes! A Series of Extremely Relatable Circumstances, the newest adult animated comedy making its debut on March 9, 2025. But what makes this show even more exciting isn’t just its premise, it’s the creative team of Black women behind it.
The show’s creator and executive producer, Adele “Supreme” Williams, has already made a name for herself as a writer, artist, and actor. She was a contributing writer to Netflix’s Emmy-nominated animated series My Dad the Bounty Hunter. She’s been recognized for her ability to tell stories that are both hilarious and full of heart, and she’s just getting started. In addition to Oh My God…Yes!, she’s currently developing projects with FX and Sony TV, proving that she’s a rising force in the world of animation.
Backing her up as executive producer is Dominique Braud, a veteran in the animation industry. Braud has spent 30 years working on one of the most beloved and longest running animated series, The Simpsons. Now, she’s bringing all of that experience to the table for Oh My God…Yes! Together, these women are shaking things up for Black animators everywhere.
Oh My God…Yes! is bringing something fresh to Adult Swim, but you’re probably wondering what the show is about. The series follows Sunny, Tulip, and Ladi as they navigate womanhood in a tech-driven, unpredictable world. Set in a not-so-distant future version of South Central LA, the show takes real-life struggles and pushes them to the absurd.
At its core, Oh My God…Yes! taps into the kind of hyper-real, laugh-to-keep-from-crying storytelling that makes Adult Swim’s best shows so addicting. If you’ve ever found yourself spiraling over a dating app, side-eyeing a self-driving car, or questioning why your smart fridge knows more about your grocery habits than you do, then these characters are going to feel like your besties.
The show’s futuristic setting is a playground that’s perfect for highlighting the ways technology has both helped and completely wrecked modern life. The show isn’t afraid to take things to absolutely unbelievable places, whether it’s a test tube Antichrist who’s been programmed to end humanity, or Ladi misplacing her own uterus and sending everyone on a desperate wild goose chase for a replacement. And like the best Adult Swim shows, the humor reflects back to us how utterly ridiculous, yet strangely accurate, the world has become.
In addition to unforgettable themes, Oh My God…Yes! has a voice cast that is immediately recognizable. Xosha Roquemore, known for Cherish the Day, Atlanta, and Bob’s Burgers, brings her signature raspy but expressive voice. Gary Anthony Williams, of American Dad! and Aqua Teen Hunger Force, delivers the kind of booming, offbeat humor Adult Swim fans love. The cast also includes DomiNque Perry and Tristen J. Winger, both familiar to Insecure fans, bringing their comedic antics into the world of animation. And of course, the series features the unmistakable voice of one of the most identifiable animation voices of all time, whose presence alone is enough to make longtime fans take notice, but we’ll let that be a surprise.
Unlike many of its Adult Swim predecessors, this show places Black women front and center, both on-screen and behind the scenes. While The Boondocks set a high bar for animated satire, it was primarily told from the perspective of young Black boys. Oh My God…Yes! allows us to shift the lens and explore womanhood, technology, and identity through the eyes of three Black women. As a result, it delivers a series that doesn’t just make us laugh but adds a fresh, much-needed voice to adult animation.
Despite the undeniable influence of Black culture on animation, Black women are still underrepresented as creators, showrunners, and executive producers in the industry. Oh My God…Yes! is a profound and necessary shift. It’s a show created by Black women, about Black women, in a space where our voices have long been ignored. And thanks to Adult Swim and Williams and Braud, the landscape of who gets to shape adult animation is expanding.
So, if you love Adult Swim for its boundary-pushing, weird, and wildly inventive storytelling, Oh My God…Yes! needs to be on your radar. The series proves that Adult Swim is still evolving, still taking risks, and still creating space for perspectives that deserve to be heard (and seen). Whether you tune in for the chaotic tech-driven satire, the ridiculous hi-jinks, or the legendary voice cast, one thing is clear; this show is about to shake things up in the best way possible.
Oh My God…Yes! A Series of Extremely Relatable Circumstances premieres March 9, 2025 on Adult Swim and streams the next day on Max. If you’re ready for something bold, hilarious, and refreshingly different, you won’t want to miss it.
