Rick & Morty, Primal & More Included in Adult Swim’s SDCC Lineup

Adult Swim confirms they are attending San Diego Comic-Con and will have reveals from the Rick & Morty spinoff, Primal season 2, and more.

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.

Calling all Rick and Morty fans!

Tuca & Bertie Season Three Discussion and Q&A

Saturday, July 23, 11:15 AM – 12:15 PM PT

This summer is sure to sizzle with the highly anticipated return of Tuca & Bertie on Adult Swim! Creator and Executive Producer Lisa Hanawalt will join series star Tiffany Haddish (Tuca), alongside Nicole Beyer (Gamby) and Sasheer Zamata (Kara), to dive into the upcoming third season of the Adult Swim animated comedy about colorful bird girl besties who navigate the ups and downs of adulting in life, love, and everything in between. Indigo Ballroom, Hilton San Diego Bayfront

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.
