Turner’s eclectic Super Deluxe entertainment studio, based in downtown Los Angeles, shut down Friday.
AT&T pulled the plug on the unconventional studio, ending a three-year digital media experiment to find new ways to reach audiences under 35.

Keep in mind Super Deluxe were planning to co-produce a new series of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, so the fate of that project is going to be unknown at this point
I'd never even heard of them until this news post. Seems a shame that it wasn't more widely touted.
Turner’s statement to Deadline about the decision to shut down Super Deluxe said there had been issues regarding “duplication with other business units in our new WarnerMedia portfolio.”
“Super Deluxe found inspiring ways of connecting with a new generation and many of their best practices will be adopted by other Turner properties as we redirect this investment back into our portfolio,” the statement reads.
what does this even mean
Noting typical dont worry the share holders speech.
So this is permanent one since one of articles mentioned this isn't first time Super Deluxe shut down for temporary?
NO GOD DAMNIT.
I need Don't Hug me I'm Scared in my life, fucking christ.
Please Conan, do something.
well Season 1 of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared is already a lock I'd imagine at this point. They were only co-producers and it's probably just in late post-production at this point, so it'll see the light of day I'm sure. Future seasons, tho, are def in doubt unless they secure another source of funding. So yea, fuck

Yeah the one thing I'm fucking worried about is DHMIS, but considering the insane popularity I'm sure they can find something
Vic Berger has his own channel so hopefully not all is lost. His were the only super deluxe videos I cared about
You can't forget about this classic

oh fuck offff
TV didn't die like they thought it would.
wait what? Super Deluxe was owned by such a big corp?
Awwwwwwwww what the fuck. Super Deluxe was basically The Onion in video format before The Onion started doing videos. It was so fucking good, wtf ATnT
I always suspected it was associated with Adult Swim, it had all the key traits of something produced by them, but it became apparent during the final months of the election cycle when Vic Berger started working with Tim Heidecker in some of his vids
