Created by Gray G. Haddock (Red vs. Blue, RWBY, RWBY Chibi), gen:LOCK is Rooster Teeth's most liked, viewed and shared new series - the first season has garnered 44 million social media impressions to date. Debuting in January 2019, the inaugural series received laurels across the board, including praise from The New York Times (touted on the "Winter Watch List"), SyfyWire (featured among its top "Series To Watch"), and Inverse ("packed with fun, charming characters"). DC will release its first gen:LOCK comic later in 2019.
