It's happening, (http://www.avclub.com/article/adult-swim-announces-two-new-seasons-cult-anime-hi-234318) and with Production I.G.

Now, as part of its anime-focused Toonami block, Adult Swim has announced that it?s bringing back one of those old anime shows, FLCL, for 12 brand-new episodes. This comes from a post on the official Adult Swim Facebook page, which says those 12 episodes will be split into two seasons, and that they?ll act as a sequel to the original series.

...

Toonami creative director Jason DeMarco [was asked] on Twitter whether The Pillows would be involved in the new FLCL, and he [said] they would. DeMarco reiterated this in another tweet, adding that the original voice cast, director Kazuya Tsurumaki, and Gainax co-founder Yoshiyuki Sadamoto will be involved as well.

I STILL NEED TO FINISH FLCL

As I understand, this is less of a capitulation on Gainax losing the license for the show and more of a passion project by the Toonami folks, the original creator, and some others. And a former Gainax key animator is involved too. At the very least it won't be shit, but fair assumption it won't be as special as the original.

Late 2017 / Early 2018 Hype.

I should probably get on watching the original. I've been putting it off for too long due to forgetfulness.

Never saw FLCL,but a lot of people seem kinda worried about how it'll turn out. Personally, I hope it's good. It'll be interesting if we see more of this stuff in the future.
