Squidbillies Sets Final Season Premiere Date on Adult Swim; Auditions for New Voice of Early ‘Underway’ After Firing
The Cuyler family is getting some new ink in its final season.
Adult Swim‘s Squidbillies has set a premiere date for its farewell outing, which will kick off with back-to-back episodes on Sunday, Nov. 7 at midnight. Two episodes will then air every Sunday, leading up to the series finale.
“Squidbillies, the show you love to overlook, is back for a 13th and final season,” reads Adult Swim’s official release. “Join Early, Rusty, and Granny Cuyler for 10 brand new episodes of jackwoods backassery. Sorry – backwoods jackassery.”
If you’ve been dutifully keeping up with all things Squidbillies, however, you’ll recall that Stuart Baker (aka Unknown Hinson) was fired as the voice of Early back in August 2020 over a series of racist Facebook posts. “The views he expressed do not reflect our own personal values or the values of the show that we and many others have worked hard to produce over the past 15 years,” the show’s creators said at the time. “For those reasons, production of Squidbillies will continue without Mr. Baker, effective immediately.”
According to a new statement from Adult Swim, “the search for a new Early Cuyler has been underway with numerous voice auditions held. Stay tuned to find out who will be the chosen one.”
Squidbillies‘ final season will also feature a series of new covers of the show’s opening theme song. Artists include Willie Nelson, Amanda Shires and Sturgill Simpson.

It’ll be interesting to see if Early’s new voice is similar to his old one or if they’ll go in a different direction. Now is probably the right time to end the show. It had a good, long run, and AS probably doesn’t want to associate with the show more than they have to after firing Unknown Hinson. I imagine they’ll be very little reruns anymore and it’ll just be left on streaming for people to watch. Hopefully the show has a good finale.
Final Season? Firing my boy Unknown Hinson already marked the final season. I hope this junk flops. In fact, I bet it will. Dude got fired for speaking his mind. Jokers calling him racist. Those white liberals don’t get to make that choice, us black people do. And as a black man myself I say his comments was not racist. BLM lost a good bit of support from black people because they were not who they portrayed themselves to be anyway. All they were was puppets of white liberals. Caused more destruction than anything else.
Right oN
Hahahaha a new voice actor? It’s disgusting that you must be a part of some liberal hivemind to be able to work in the industry. God forbid you’re an indivudal. Henson literally was the forkin show. Without him, there is no Early Cuyler and without cuyler there is no squidbillies. I mean what’s left? His son?his son is a disgusting liberal turd very akin to Lisa from the Simpsons.
PERFECT reduction of Cuyler’ seduction – LISA/squidJR to Sheriff .. they got no fire without CUYLER. RIP SQIUDS ahh we luv’D ya crez energy; another FREE SPEAKER – REAL 🔥 Forever silent Cuyler’view 2022 + so sorry for you
There IS no replacement for Unknown Hinson! Get real!😠
The main focus was already shifting away from Early for a couple years now
Stuart Baker made that show. It is dead to me now. Long live the kang
Bring on Ga ga gee gap pee pap to replace Early, that’s his daddy, he’ll carry on the Cuyler tradition of hard work and sound morals!
LMAO!!
We’ll definitely be tuning in at my house! Squidbillies is my favorite. Bring back Ga Ga Pee Pap, him and Early are my favs. They have the best advice too. Though I really don’t see how it’s going to be as good without Unknown Hinson. He IS Early Cuyler!
HA! I am back at least in 2 i think but I am on episode 3
Tracey Morgan is the new voice of Early Cuyler??? What, was James Earl Jones unavailable. Hard pass on this one. The show’s gone downhill for the last few seasons since they went to computer animation anyway.
You can’t replace Unknown Hinson, the character was created/inspired by the Unknown Hinson character, a parody of the old country western troubadours from the 50/60’s era.
I will boycott the final season. I find it offensive. Let’s Go Tracey Morgan.
i like tracy morgan but hes so far from what they need,he sounds like hes had a stroke in the program,how can people who work on these show be so out of touch,if they got right actor it could have gone on for years but ive stopped watching after 2 Eps and will never watch again,if i bought a boxset i would ask for this season to be taken out its that bad.absolute morons bowing to the PC police,pandering isnt being pc its just cowardly
I hadn’t heard all the controversy but it doesn’t surprise me at all that this is what’s going on.
I’m kind of saddened by the fact that Tracy Morgan thought he being on the show was a good idea obviously it’s going to go over like a lead balloon with a fans but oh well. Anyway now we know why it’s the final season they don’t give a crap at this point. And to be honest this is why adult swim is heading down the toilet they’re embracing a PC culture is going to destroy them just like it’s destroying everything else.
They actually had auditions. wow. this was a terrible way to end the series. should had just ended it. Although the writing and other characters worked. Early’s speech was just different. You should had just had Jesco White take Ealy’s voice. Dana could had given that role a better run. After cowering to a snowflake. not surprising they went out this way
It TOTALLY blows that almost EVERYTHING ends up like this for simply speaking one’s opinion which is our God given right! I love Tracy but it’s just not his role.period. how can u FIRE the man for just staying true to the character yall have brought to our tv’s for 15years?! Right or wrong, LAST SEASON espically…we DO NOT HAVE TO AGREE OR DISAGREE!!we are ALL entitled to our own opinion.STOP KILLING GOOD STUFF CUZ ITS NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT. Squidbilles has NEVER BEEN POLITICALLY CORRECT. Thats why we LOVE IT…Damn shame.
