Uzumaki Director Updates Fans On When The Hell We’re Going To See The Show On Adult Swim

Originally slated to premiere Fall 2021, because of COVID-19 (of which Japan is still just getting over), Adult Swim’s highly-anticipated premiere of Junji Ito’s Uzumaki is slated to premiere October 2022. So says the director of the series Hiroshi Nagahama who notes the amount of BS the studio probably had to go through just to get the correct staff in tow during these tricky times. That said, this is a stark contrast to what Adult Swim VP Jason DeMarco said in March of last year when he said that COVID-19 had no impact on the production of the four-episode series that is slated to hit Adult Swim in America before it premieres in Japan.

Oddly enough, the producers have already revealed the Japanese cast for the series, but no sign of Adult Swim’s announcement on an English dubbed cast. The series is animated by Drive and co-produced by Production I.G USA and Adult Swim’s in-house production arm Williams Street.
