Adult Swim reveals its San Diego Comic-Con lineup, with names like Rick and Morty and Primal being included this year. The nighttime programming block of Cartoon Network is looking to build upon recent successes, promoting new and returning series ahead of its own festival block party in August, an event traveling to the east coast for the first time since its debut back in 2018. With the SDCC returning after previous COVID-19-related cancellations and the popularity of Rick and Morty through five seasons, along with the hype surrounding the critically acclaimed fantasy adventure series Primal, fan anticipation is high.
Now, Adult Swim has announced its 2022 SDCC schedule for the July 22-24 weekend. A Smiling Friends Discussion and Q&A, Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal Season 2 Discussion and Q&A, Rick and Morty: The Vindicators Screening and Q&A, and Tuca & Bertie Season 3 Discussion and Q&A will be the network's four panels. Check out the full details for the event below:
A commercial success, Smiling Friends will be sure to interest fans with its preview of what is to come, while the highly awaited return of Tuca and Bertie, featuring the voices of Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong, should excite many Adult Swim audiences at its panel. Perhaps the biggest hit of the event though will be that of Rick and Morty's spin-off, as viewers seek a first look at The Vindicators in their very own series. Having the opportunity to engage with fans and reveal some of their latest projects, Adult Swim could be an impressive draw at this year's San Diego Comic-Con.
