Aside from giving Rick and Morty fans a sneak peek of its upcoming fifth season, the virtual Adult Swim Con also had an update for the highly anticipated animated adaptation of Junji Ito’s Uzumaki.
Unfortunately for fans who were excited to catch it this year, they will have to wait a little longer as it was announced that the series will debut in 2021 instead due to production delays.
The information was shared along with a teaser for the share, though the clips in the teaser are the exact same used in the first clip shared in 2019.
Aside from a new release date, there is also news on the Japanese casts attached to the series. It was also announced that Mushishi director Hiroshi Nagahama will be directing Uzumaki while Colin Stetson (Hereditary) will be in charge of composing the show’s music.
Here are the Japanese casts for the show (via ComicBook):
- Uki Satake as Kirie Goshima
