Mike Tyson Mysteries

Mike Tyson Mysteries is an American adult animated television series, and the first to be produced by Warner Bros. Animation for Adult Swim. It premiered October 27, 2014. The series features Mike Tyson solving mysteries, in the style of "", "Scooby-Doo", "Jonny Quest", and "Mister T". On December 10, 2014, Adult Swim renewed the series for a second season, which premiered on November 1, 2015. A third season premiered on May 14, 2017, and the remaining Season 3 episodes aired from March 4, 2018 to May 13, 2018. A fourth season aired in Summer 2019 and early 2020.
During a May 2020 interview, writer Larry Dorf revealed the show had not been renewed and the fourth season would be its last. Adult Swim has aired reruns as of 2020.
Premise.
The show follows the fictional misadventures of boxer/actor Mike Tyson, the ghost of the Marquess of Queensberry, Tyson's adopted daughter, and an alcoholic talking pigeon, as they solve mysteries around the world. The style of the show borrows heavily from the 1983–86 "Ruby-Spears" produced "Mister T" featuring actor/wrestler Laurence Tureaud as himself as well as 1970's Hanna-Barbera productions such as "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" and "The Funky Phantom". Targeted at a much older demographic than those children-oriented cartoons, the show contains adult language and concepts in the manner of "Family Guy", "South Park", and many other Adult Swim shows. While each episode involves a mystery as a framing device, they are often ignored entirely while the plot takes a completely different (and often oddball) direction as the mysteries are rarely solved and episodes sometimes end on cliffhangers that are never resolved.
Reception.
The series has received mostly positive reviews from critics. The show currently holds an 82% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 11 reviews, with its consensus being: "A dizzying whirl of lowbrow and high-concept, "Mike Tyson Mysteries" should more than satisfy fans of Adult Swim's signature blend of animated silliness." On Metacritic, the show has a score of 75 out of 100 based on 6 reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.
Cancellation.
In a May 2020 podcast interview, writer Larry Dorf confirmed that the fourth season would be its last, although Davidson, Ramras, and Dorf would continue working together on a new project for Warner Bros.
International release.
In Canada, "Mike Tyson Mysteries" is available on Netflix.
