Well, it looks like Brainiac is pretty pi**ed off – probably not a good thing heading into the second season finale of Adult Swim's Jack Quaid (The Boys, Star Trek: Lower Decks), Alice Lee (Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist) & Ishmael Sahid (Cousins for Life)-starring My Adventures with Superman With Superman and Kara getting their collective butts[...]

It was back in the summer of 2022 when fans of Adult Swim's Emmy Award-winning animated series learned the truth behind one of the show's greatest mysteries We know that our dimension-hopping duo joined the space-fairing team in S03E04: "Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender," but what happened during that previous mission – the one[...]

Last week, the word went out that the "Adult Swim Pirate Parrrty" was ready to "shiver the timbers" of San Diego Comic-Con 2024 (SDCC 2024) next week with a lineup of panels, activations, and more (we'll get back to all of that in a second) One show, in particular, that's getting the spotlight is writer/director Takashi[...]

As we patiently await news of any kind on the third season of Michael Cusack and Zach Hadel's Smiling Friends, let's not forget that the dynamic duo will be taking part in the "Adult Swim Pirate Parrrty" set for San Diego Comic-Con 2024 (SDCC 2024) later this month For those attending the four-day pop culture extravaganza,[...]

Earlier this week, we learned that Adult Swim and Takashi Sano's (Tower of God) upcoming Rick and Morty: The Anime would be kicking off a multi-city ANIME-rican tour across the nation in support of the series during San Diego Comic-Con later this month But we don't have to wait until the end of the month for[...]

In the preview you're about to see, Lois is lost in an alternate reality where our Superman never left his home planet – and let's just say that Krypton isn't rolling out the welcome wagon… Image: Adult Swim Screencap Here's a look at the extended early preview for this weekend's episode of My Adventures with Superman Season[...]

Adult Swim is looking to "shiver your timbers" (we're not sure what that actually means, but it oozes with just the right amount of sexual innuendo to get the job gone) later this month when San Diego Comic-Con 2024 (SDCC 2024) gets underway Kicking off on Thursday, July 25th, the ever-expanding late-night programming block has[...]

On the surface, it would seem like 2024 is a "golden age" for animation with the success of shows such as Prime Video's Invincible, Disney+'s X-Men '97, Adult Swim's My Adventures with Superman Later this year, things are going to get even more exciting with the return of Netflix's Arcane for a second season and[...]

Just so there's no confusion? As much as we love Rick and Morty, Smiling Friends, My Adventures with Superman, and other shows on the ever-expanding late-night programming block, there is always enough room in our twisted Adult Swim hearts to obsess over a new show Based on what we've seen so far from series creators[...]

It's hard to believe that it's been a year since Adult Swim Festival on the Green during San Diego Comic-Con 2023 dropped a first-look teaser for the 4-episode anime adaptation of Junji Ito's Japanese horror manga Uzumaki Thanks to this weekend's Anime Expo 2024, we're learning who the Japanese and English voice actors will be –[...]

I'm pretty sure there isn't an "iron throne" over at Adult Swim, where there's room for only one huge show I don't want to speak on behalf of the late-night programming block, but I think it's safe to say that they would be more than happy to have a dozen shows that everyone was buzzing[...]

Here's hoping that Lois reconsiders her plan when it comes to Kara, though – based on the mini-teaser that was released earlier today, she might be Supes' last line of defense from a total body take-over (more on that in a minute). Image: Adult Swim Screencap Here's a look at Kara bringing the pain in a mini-teaser[...]

Okay… everybody good? Excellent! Heading into this week's episode, we know that Waller and Lex Luthor are becoming better buddies over Luthor's work on the Metallos, Metropolis is under martial law, Lois does not have good intentions when it comes to Kara and that Kryptonite sample, and a whole lot more. Image: Adult Swim Screencap That brings[...]

What's at stake? Aside from pretty much the survival of humanity and the planet? Clark gets a chance to connect with a family member he didn't know he had – though their "family feud" could prove fatal for Supes. Image: Adult Swim Screencap With "Olsen's Eleven" set to hit this weekend, here's that action-packed mini-teaser that was[...]

Not an easy task, right? Did we also mention that they need to steal it out from under Amanda Waller and Task Force X? Well, it's clear that whatever they did worked – but how? They had us by bringing back Mallah and the Brain – but the clip below fills in some more of[...]

Now, Harmon is looking back on the seventh season and how it served in many ways as a "reset" for the Emmy Award-winning animated series after the fallout from co-creator Justin Roiland being fired by Adult Swim after being charged with domestic violence Ahead of the new season, voice actors Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden were[...]

With Season 8 set to hit Adult Swim screens sometime in 2025, animated series co-creator Dan Harmon offered an update on where things stand with that massive 70-episode deal that was announced back in 2018  – and if there was anything he could share regarding the show's future beyond that. "We're in the homestretch We're always[...]

The good news? The hit Adult Swim series has already been given a thumbs-up for a third season – which is reportedly already in production Knowing that makes checking out "Pim Finally Turns Green" a wee bit easier As the title has already revealed, Pim finds himself suddenly bright green after downing an ancient artifact[...]

What we don't have is a premiere date – though Adult Swim sent out an updated programming email in May that appeared to put it at some time this summer But from everything that we've seen so far, the wait is going to be more than worth it – and the latest look only adds[...]

For this go-around, we have a brief teaser that was released on social media ahead of tonight's premiere that sees Supes being put through some very easter egg-filled tests to see if Supes is truly an ultimate weapon. Image: Adult Swim Screencap Here's a look at the teaser that was released earlier today – followed by the[...]

Adult Swim had a lot to offer during its 2024 Annecy International Animation Festival earlier this month, dropping news on a number of new and returning series One of major headlines coming out of the session was Emmy Award winner Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal, Unicorn: Warriors Eternal) announcing work on a new series, Heist[...]

After one helluva good week for Michael Cusack and Zach Hadel's Smiling Friends, we're getting back to "business as usual" with a look at what's to come tonight on Adult Swim In S02E07: "The Magical Red Jewel AKA Tyler Gets Fired," The Boss and Pim fight for their lives in a mysterious world called Spamtopia[...]

Between the new and returning series that were announced this week, it would be very safe to say that Adult Swim made a pretty epic impact on this year's Annecy International Animation Festival We learned that Smiling Friends and My Adventures with Superman would be back for respective third seasons – and new series such[...]

With the second season still burning up the late-night programming blocks screens, Adult Swim's Jack Quaid (The Boys, Star Trek: Lower Decks), Alice Lee (Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist) & Ishmael Sahid (Cousins for Life)-starring My Adventures with Superman will officially be back for a third season.

If we're being honest, Michael Cusack and Zach Hadel had us with Smiling Friends – which now sits comfortably next to Rick and Morty as our other top favorite Adult Swim series So when Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen announced during today's 2024 Annecy International Animation Festival presentation that Cusack and Hadel were already working on the[...]

Earlier today, we had some great news to share regarding Michael Cusack and Zach Hadel's Smiling Friends and two new series that were on their way to Adult Swim (more on that below) – but that was far from all Emmy Award winner Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Primal, Unicorn: Warriors Eternal) announced work on Heist Safari, with[...]

When we first heard that Michael Cusack and Zach Hadel's Smiling Friends was being entered into competition during the 2024 Annecy International Film Festival and that the show's creators would be attending as part of Adult Swim's overall presentation, we hoped to hear about the future of the hit "animated+" series Well, we didn't have to[...]

the Alien," we just need to say something about "Brother's Egg." If there was ever an episode that you can show to someone who's never seen the Adult Swim series before to demonstrate that special Smiling Friends vibe, it was that one – a high compliment considering the killer run the show's had for nearly[...]

With that in mind, we have a sneak preview for the next episode of Adult Swim's Jack Quaid (The Boys, Star Trek: Lower Decks), Alice Lee (Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist) & Ishmael Sahid (Cousins for Life)-starring My Adventures with Superman Season 2 In the following clip from "Two Lanes Diverged," Lois and the General share a little[...]
