Adult Swim (stylized as [adult swim]) is an adult-oriented programming block that airs on Cartoon Network from 9:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. EST. The block features myriad stylistically-variable animated series and live-action shows geared toward an 18-34 audience. It is based on the U.S network of the same name.

Programming

Adult Swim primarily airs original shows from the U.S. block, as well as domestically-produced series (such as Fugget About It and Night Sweats), and shows acquired from other sources. However, several shows from its American counterpart are noticeably absent; G4's now-defunct ADd block and Much, following its shift towards comedy programming, are known to have broadcast a selection of them.[1][2][3][4] Until September 1, 2015, Teletoon's late night block, Teletoon at Night, also aired several of Adult Swim's original series.

Former

Adult Swim On Demand

Adult Swim On Demand is a video-on-demand service featuring series from Adult Swim. The service also features episodes of the block's acquired series.

SVOD mobile app

In March 2016, a subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) app was launched for Android and iOS phones, allowing viewers to watch original programming from Adult Swim in the U.S, including several series that aren't currently airing on Adult Swim Canada, with new episodes being added to the app as soon as they premiere in the U.S. The app is owned by [adult swim] games.[9]

However, several other series, such as Mike Tyson Mysteries, Childrens Hospital, and shows airing on Toonami, aren't available for streaming due to program rights and licencing. In addition, Rick and Morty and Robot Chicken premieres are only added after they air in Canada.[10]
