Samurai Jack To Return On Adult Swim USA In 2016 If you grew up watching Cartoon Network in the early-to-mid noughties you’ve may have of heard of Genndy Tartakovsky’s action-packed animated show, Samurai Jack. The show is returning in 2016 but not on Cartoon Network but rather on Adult Swim as part of the Toonami programming block, this may be because of multiple reasons, first of all, it’s an action show so it suits the action block perfectly, second, the show has a much more adult feel and third, the show’s original audience are now adults. Creator and executive producer Genndy Tartakovsky has returned to Cartoon Network Studios to get production of the new series off the ground after it was greenlighted. Next year, we’ll get to see more amazing adventures with Jack and the story will continue from where the series left off.

Image
Zany aliens romp through Earth in search of the perfect beat when Beat Monsters, Turner Broadcasting’s largest animation project in South Korea, touches down across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa next year. It’s an important development, as Korea transitions from service work and subcontracting jobs from Western companies into locally created ideas. As Cartoon Brew reported earlier this year, South Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is investing well over $300 million through 2019 into its domestic animation industry. Turner’s team-up with Korea’s Synergy Media and Studio Goindol on Beat Monsters is a formative step in that direction. The international co-production will create 52 two-minute shorts (plus additional micro-shorts) that blend CGI with live-action elements. Scheduled to begin airing in late 2016, Beat Monsters will appear on Turner’s kids’ channels across Asia Pacific, including Cartoon Network, Boomerang, and Toonami, as well as Cartoon Networ
