Rooster Teeth
In a parody of science-fiction films and games and of military life, "Red vs. Blue" tells the story of two groups of soldiers fighting a civil war in a desolate and isolated box canyon. Initially, Rooster Teeth expected the series to consist of only six to eight episodes. However, the series became popular quickly, receiving 20,000 downloads in a single day. Accordingly, Burns conceived an extension of the plot. It is currently on its 16th full season, directed by Joe Nicolosi and written by Nicolosi with Jason Weight. In 2018, the short PSA episodes were spun off into their own show, simply titled "Red vs. Blue PSA."
