Adult Swim Teases April 2025 Premiere For Lazarus
Adult Swim has teased an April 2025 premiere date for the highly-anticipated new anime series Lazarus from Shinichirō Watanabe. The upcoming series comes with it 13 episodes that will premiere on Adult Swim’s Toonami lineup with an expected English dub cast to be announced in the coming weeks.
The series is being animated by MAPPA with SOLA handling production and legendary director Chad Stahelski helping produce the action sequences. The series stems from Watanabe’s reaction to the opiate crisis that has plagued the world.
This announcement coincides with an already busy slate for Adult Swim’s 2025 year that already includes Common Side Effects debuting on Adult Swim starting Feb 2nd.
Synopsis:
In the utopian year 2052, Dr. Skinner discovered a miracle drug. In 2055, Skinner announces that the drug has a three-year half-life and soon everyone who took it will die.
A task force of five agents is assembled to locate Skinner and create a vaccine. Its name is “Lazarus”.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
