Bob Ross (1942–1995) remains an unlikely posthumous superstar. His show, The Joy of Painting , which ran from 1983 to 1994, has become a meditative staple of the streaming era. Unlike high-octane modern entertainment, Ross’s slow, deliberate technique and soothing affirmations offer a form of digital ASMR. His intellectual property is currently controlled by Bob Ross Inc., which has historically guarded his image and legacy against commercial exploitation.

Ethically, the question is starker: Would Bob Ross have wanted this? Ross was a humanist who taught that anyone could paint, but he also believed in the authenticity of the hand and the mistake. An AI that never spills turpentine or sighs after a smudged tree would miss the very vulnerability that made him beloved. To generate “Season 02” is to create a soulless simulacrum—a zombie media product that offers comfort in voice but none in spirit.
