There's no confirmation that it's been greenlit.
On one hand, true, but on the other hand, it's certainly noteworthy that none of the non-V&V pilots that aren't confirmed greenlit are in the image while V&V is. (plus shows are often publicly announced a while after they're greenlit, usually by a few months, with the most egregious example being OK KO)

OK, so do you remember the Back to Backspace pilot?

Cartoon Network of Latin America and Cartoon Network Brazil just released the Spanish and Portuguese dubs respectively.

The only other pilot to receive a dub is Apple & Onion, which was already confirmed as being picked-up by CN

Does this possibly mean anything?

CN LA and BR have been airing these on their feeds dubbed and later uploading them on YouTube. It probably means y'all are reading too much into this.

There's a high chance Victor and Valentino might've been greenlit.

They do that to tease me.

I find Danger Planet way more promising than Victor & Valentino.

Please let Danger Planet stay dead. That pilot sucked.

Victor and Valentino? Come on down! I figured it was being greenlit considering one of the characters was in that pic on the previous page that featured characters from current and upcoming cartoons.

Hey now. Danger Planet might not have had the longevity to carry an entire series, but it was still a fun pilot/short regardless, especially with Dana Snyder and Tom Kenny as the leads. The protagonist is a sentient arcade cabinet, which is wonderfully weird in and of itself.

Victor and Valentino could probably last a good long while, especially with the ongoing plot the pilot hinted at, so there's no disagreement there.

Steve Hullet, who used to run the Animation Guild blog, has a new blog, and he’s been keeping tabs on what’s in production at the moment.

Looks like Victor and Valentino and Infinity Train might be heading to Adult Swim.

Hmm... I'm actually not surprised at this point, considering Adult Swim seems to actually care more for their programming than the actual CN block does.

I consider it to be a questionable source right now. No way to verify any of the claims made in that post. I think we should wait for something official, say, the 2018 upfronts?

I wouldn’t be sure if it’ll end up there, this could be just a speculation, plus from the way how the pilot is, it just wouldn’t fit well into it at all, they’re too kid friendly.

To be honest, I don’t think this accurate enough though.

Eeeh?? Infinity Train I could understand, but does Victor and Valentino really need to be an adult type show? Forgive the comparison, but Gravity Falls proves that you can have a balanced mystery show with enough intrigue and laughs to entertain both children and adults.

I think it's also worth mentioning that "Close Enough" is listed under Adult Swim as well, which it's not airing on- it's going to TBS. Also, Steve Hulett acknowledged that his post is several months old and out-of-date in the comments.

It would be amazing if IT went to adult swim. At least it will get a good treatment there and the ratings there are better than CN ones.

True. When is the upfront coming by the way?

The thing is, the creators might be going for a darker tone on purpose and they always wanted it to be on Adult Swim, or maybe they have a new strategy or something and they'll air it in the early part of Adult Swim?

Edit: I should've explained myself better, maybe they always wanted it to be darker and more serious.

Guys, I just noticed something pretty crazy after an anonymous person pointed it out on /co/, at least I don't know if it's been pointed out here.

Remember this tote bag and how it featured one of the brothers from Victor and Valentino and one other girl.

That girl is from Close Enough. Maybe Close Enough did move to AS if they cancelled the block where it was supposed to air on TBS.

This design was posted after TBS put out their Trailer for Close Enough, on July 21st. This design was put online on September 20th, so things could've quickly changed, I wouldn't be surprised. This potential leak blog post is made in September.

Edit: The Close Enough Trailer and where the girl first appears

so, with primal screen going down, I wonder how that affected Cartoon Network since they using that studio to do the bumpers for years now, are they going to start working with the animation studio who did the bumpers for adult swim now
