‘Samurai Jack’ Returning to Adult Swim
For those who grew up watching "Samurai Jack" on the Cartoon Network back in the early millennium, then you are about to get a special treat. The cartoon is coming back, and this time it will be on the Network's night feed of Adult Swim.
According to TVLine, the original cartoon lasted from 2001 - 2004 on the Cartoon Network and then fell into oblivion. Reruns popped up here and there, but there were no new episodes produced. Fast forward to 2016 and the original cartoon Samurai will be back in action to face his all time foe once again.
This new series will be strictly a Toonami affair. For those of you who do not know what this is, Toonami is a special block of programing on the Cartoon Network that was exclusively devoted to Japanese action shows.
Although there has not been many details released about the upcoming series reboot, it has been announced that it will premier sometime in 2016 with no specific date set yet.
For those who are dedicated fans of the original show, you can rest assured that the original series creator Genndy Tartakovsky will be back along with the series for more original content.
The network confirmed the news and even a released a quick teaser video for the upcoming show. Watch the video below.
Speaking of Cartoon Network reboots, they also announced (earlier this summer) that they will be bringing back the fan favorite TV show "Ben 10."
That show had a quite a cult following for it. It ran on the network from 2005 - 2008. It spawned three spinoff series on the network, one animated TV movie and two live-action TV movies.
The reboot is expected to follow the same basic path as the original series with young 10-year-old Ben Tennyson traveling across the country with Grandpa Max and cousin Gwen. They will get tangled up in the same Omnitrix travel adventures as before and will face larger than life foes.
