AUSTIN, Texas — Austin-based Rooster Teeth is reopening its doors after a nine-month closure.

Burnie Burns, Rooster Teeth’s founder, has officially reacquired Rooster Teeth.

“I am excited at the challenge of bringing Rooster Teeth back to its roots,” said Burns. “The heart of this brand has always been its fans, and I look forward to writing a new chapter together.”

Launched in 2003 by Burnie Burns, Rooster Teeth’s initial success with Red vs. Blue, history’s longest-running web series, propelled its growth into a growing multimedia company.

The company will become part of Burns’ company Box Canyon Productions.

Prior to shutting down, general manager Jordan Levin wrote the reasoning for the company’s closure was due to “challenges facing digital media resulting from fundamental shifts in consumer behavior and monetization across platforms, advertising and patronage.”

Rooster Teeth, established in 2003, produced gameplay and animation before its acquisition by Warner Bros. Discovery.

Using subscriptions, advertising, e-commerce and live events, Rooster Teeth developed a direct-to-consumer lifestyle brand to reach its increasing online audience.
