Adult Swim Premieres For The Weekend Of August 5
As we stare down the barrel of doom in regards to Adult Swim and everything else under the Warner Bros umbrella, let’s take the time to appreciate what we have, while we have it. And what we have is darn good: new episodes of Primal and Tuca & Bertie.
The new Primal episode premieres tonight at midnight. Even if it survives the Purge unscathed, Primal seasons are super-short, divided in half and served up five episodes apiece. We’re on Episode 4 this week, if you haven’t been counting. And as with the previous weeks, AS did not provide an episode description for what happens tonight, but there IS a video clip. The events of tonight’s episode directly follow last week’s episode, and Spear’s attempts to rescue his new friend Mira from a clan of Viking warriors called the Scorpions.
Primal airs tonight, Thursday, August 4 at 12 AM ET/PT. If you miss this showing, you can catch the same episode when it reruns on Toonami Saturday night at 12 AM ET/PT. And of course it will be on HBO Max the next day…we think. We’re assuming there will be an HBO Max tomorrow but we really have no idea.
After that, on Sunday, the latest Tuca & Bertie adventure will premiere….and this one’s a flashback! According to Adult Swim’s official description of the episode, “In ‘Screech Leeches,’ the girls revisit Bertie’s spookiest memory: a high school friendship that got hella intense!” Tuca & Bertie airs Sunday, August 7 at 12 AM ET/PT.
All episodes from any AS show can be viewed multiple ways: the network itself, Adult Swim.com, and the Adult Swim app.
