New Dexter's Lab Episodes Coming in November!

Thu Jan 25 4:24 2001

According to the January 26 print issue of Entertainment Weekly, we can expect the first of 13 brand-new episodes of Dexter'sLaboratory to premiere on November 9th, 2001.

This news came unexpected to many animation fans, who assumed that Dexter's Lab was cancelled, and that the made-for-cable-TV movie "Ego Trip" was to be the final chapter of Dexter's animated history.

The first news that new "Dexter's Lab" episodes were headed for production was leaked during last year's San Diego Comic Con. Official confirmation arrived in a teeny bit of information tucked away inside LA Weekly's HUGE feature article on "The Powerpuff Girls" and an interview with their creator, Craig McCracken. (The article was published in November 2000.) Near the end of the article, it's mentioned (in parentheses) that 13 new episodes of the series went into production in November 2000. "Dexter's Lab" creator Genndy Tartakovsky is also working on an original animated series entitled "Samurai Jack" which is reported to premiere on Cartoon Network this summer.
