About China, IL
China, IL follows professor brothers Frank and Steve Smith at the worst university in America. Web shorts ran in 2008 on Super Deluxe, recut as the Funeral special that May on Adult Swim. Season 1 ran 10 episodes October 2011 to March 2012, season 2 ran 10 September to November 2013, and season 3 ran 10 April to June 2015 closing on the hour musical finale.
Brad Neely confirmed the show done forever in July 2015. The 30 episodes plus pilots stand as the run. Watch shorts, then special, then the three seasons, since the campus rot and the brother war stack across.
Good to know
Release order is the story order. The Funeral special replays the web shorts as one cut, so either works first before season 1. The 2010 unaired pilot stays out as an unreleased curiosity. Season 3 assumes the dean lore from the first two. No fourth season or revival is announced after Neely's farewell.
