NEW YORK -- Adult Swim will launch three new series and a seventh late night of programming, beginning this year.

Two series -- "Fat Guy Stuck in Internet" and "Superjail" -- join the previously announced "Lucy, Daughter of the Devil" on the schedule for Cartoon Network's late-night programming block. "Stuck" is a live-action comedy about a computer programmer who finds himself inside the Internet and chased by a bounty hunter. It's created by John Gemberling and Curtis Gwinn, and will debut in the fall. "Superjail" is about the universe's most violent prison that is run by Warden, shrouded in mystery. The series, created by Christy Karacas, Stephen Warbrick and Ben Gruber, will premiere next year.

"Lucy," set in San Francisco and created by Loren Bouchard, will debut in the summer, and the "Robot Chicken: Star Wars" special is set for June 17.

Picked up for additional seasons are "Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job," "Moral Orel" and "Assy McGee." Also returning for new seasons are "Frisky Dingo," "Robot Chicken," "The Boondocks," "Metalocalypse," "The Venture Bros.," "Squidbillies," "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law" and "Aqua Teen Hunger Force." "Aqua Teen" will have new episodes in the fall and a fifth season in 2008.

Cartoon Network's late-night programming block will add its seventh night at 11 p.m. ET on Friday, July 6.
