Uzumaki release schedule – when is episode 1 of the horror anime on Adult Swim and Channel 4?

Uzumaki, the new horror anime adaptation of Junji Ito’s classic manga, is getting ready to scare us silly. But when can you watch the first episode? It’s a fair question, given that most new anime is split between several streamers in 2024. But it’s not actually coming to Netflix, Crunchyroll, or any of the other usual destinations.

Instead, the first episode of Uzumaki will be released this weekend on Adult Swim in the US and Channel 4 in the US, with new episodes to follow weekly.

Below, you’ll be able to discover all you need to know about Uzumaki’s release plans, including air time, episode count, and full release schedule. It’s already landed a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score, and you’ll want to be there to see if it delivers on the hype.
