The Ren & Stimpy Show (Season 9) (Johnsonverse)

The ninth season of The Ren & Stimpy Show began on November 15, 2017 with the episode "Ren-Incarnation", and ended on April 10, 2018 with the episode "Eat Humble Pie".

The first season produced since its 1999 end, this was also the first season not to air on Nickelodeon or any network owned by Viacom (now known as ViacomCBS), airing on Cartoon Network instead. It also had the involvement of creator John Kricfalusi, as his 2013 short Cans Without Labels was universally acclaimed; as with the original, the revival is produced by Spümcø.

Finally, George Liquor was once again made a recurring character for the first time since the second season, voiced by Kricfalusi due to the 2010 death of his voice actor, Michael Pataki; Kricfalusi had voiced George in various projects since Pataki's death.
