Adult Swim made the announcement on its social media pages Tuesday afternoon. The company didn't say if the show will only be available for a limited time or if this is a permanent gift. It's not available in all countries, however.

Samurai Jack features Phil LaMarr as the titular character who is sent from feudal Japan to the distant future by an evil shape-shifting demon named Aku. The series was created by Genndy Tartakovsky, who also created Dexter's Laboratory. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/25/samurai-jack-battle-through-time-video-game-announced"] The series ran from 2001 to 2004 on Cartoon Network before it was resurrected on Adult Swim for a final season in 2017. LaMarr returned to voice Jack, but the voice actor for Aku, Mako, sadly passed away in 2006 and was replaced. The series has spunoff into numerous comic books and even a couple of video games: Samurai Jack: The Amulet of Time for Game Boy Advance and Samurai Jack: The Shadow of Aku for GameCube and PS2. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=primal-season-1-gallery&captions=true"] A new video game, Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, will release summer 2020 for PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. Tartakovsky has since gone on to direct the Hotel Transylvania movies and a new TV series for Adult Swim called Primal. It aired in 2019 and was one of the most critically-acclaimed TV seasons of the year. It's worth mentioning that every episode of that series is free as well on Adult Swim's Primal website.
