Creator and star Jason Ruiz has heaped praise on Adult Swim for allowing him to craft a show that is so “near and dear” to him and his team, as well as being able to explore both the light and the dark sides of the feuding family.
“This show is near and dear to me and our team is second to none. I’m incredibly grateful to Adult Swim for supporting season two – which explores the deeper, lighter and darker sides of The Hornsbys.”
The first season of Royal Crackers premiered back in April last year, and tells the story of Royal Crackers, who was once the king of snacks. But now, the empire is crumbling. When Theodore Hornsby Sr. ends up in a coma, the rest of the Hornsbys will try to make Royal Crackers the success it once was.
New episodes of Royal Crackers will be available the next day on Max, with the second season now all set to debut on the streaming platform on Thursday, February 29.
