Method

Box Canyon Productions, the company of Rooster Teeth co founder Burnie Burns, buys the Rooster Teeth brand and remaining assets from Warner Bros. Discovery in February 2025, nine months after the studio closed. It brings the name back to its founder in Austin without the staff, the Stage 5 lease or the RWBY and Roost assets that were sold separately in 2024.
