Adult Swim is bringing new Samurai Jack episodes to Toonami in 2017. Here's everything we know.
Back in December, Adult Swim confirmed that Samurai Jack will return with new episodes in 2017. The new Samurai Jackepisodes will air as part of Adult Swim's Toonami programming block on Cartoon Network.
Genndy Tartovsky, Darrick Bachman, and others confirm a little (but only a little) about Samurai Jackseason 5, and what to expect from the whole thing. For one thing, to reflect how long its been since the last episode of the series, the show picks up several years after the last one, and (as you can see from the promo art below), he has aged and changed accordingly.
And now, we know when we'll finally get to see those new episodes: March 11th at 11:30 pm. Check out the first teaser...

And a rather badass piece of promo art made its debut at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival last yea, which found its way to us via the Cartoon Brew Instagram.
Well...Jack doesn't look very happy with someone, does he? If I was Aku, I'd be worried.
Production on Samurai Jack season 5 is currently underway in Los Angeles. Genndy Tartovsky, who has recently been busying himself with the Hotel Transylvania movies, is back as executive producer. If you haven't experienced Samurai Jack yet, go check out the first four seasons while you wait for these new ones. Give Mr. Tartovsky's excellent Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series a look, too.
And here's a poster:
You'd better believe we'll bring you more details as we get them. We'll update this as we hear more.
