Adult Swim Uzumaki Premiere Date Announced

Adult Swim's highly anticipated anime adaptation of Junji Ito's horror masterpiece Uzumaki is set to premiere on September 28, 2024, following numerous delays since its announcement in 2019. The series is described as a chilling tale of Kurouzu-cho, a fogbound town cursed by a spiraling obsession that leads to horrific events for its residents. The adaptation, helmed by director Hiroshi Nagahama, aims to faithfully capture Ito's distinctive black-and-white art style, a feat that has proven challenging in earlier adaptations. Viewers can expect the series to air on Adult Swim first, with episodes available on HBO Max the following day, leading up to Halloween. Additionally, Amazon Prime Video has unveiled the trailer for its live-action adaptation of SEGA's 'Like a Dragon: Yakuza,' set to premiere on October 24, 2024, featuring Ryoma Takeuchi as Kazuma Kiryu and Kento Kaku as Akira Nishikiyama.
