AdultSwim has released a trailer for Genndy Tartakovsky’s new animated series, Unicorn: Warriors Eternal.

The first two episodes will premiere Thursday, May 4 at midnight on Adult Swim and next day on HBO Max. New episodes will debut weekly with encores on Adult Swim and Toonami.

Unicorn: Warriors Eternal is a supernatural animated-action series. An evil force is looming across the dark, thick-aired streets of industrial revolution London when a group of heroes dubbed Unicorn are accidentally reawakened in the bodies of teenagers instead of adult hosts they’ve embodied in the past. Melinda, a powerful sorceress, Seng, a cosmic monk, and Edred, a warrior elf. With distorted memories and their magical abilities weakened and fragmented, the trio must work together with help from their steam-powered robot, Copernicus, to unravel the mysteries of their pasts and present that will reveal their path to defeating a timeless threat.

“This show is truly a wonder. It shows that in the hands of a creative visionary and an insanely talented team, there’s no limit to the kinds of stories animation can tell,” said Michael Ouweleen, president, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Boomerang and Discovery Kids. “By programming this during peak hours and re-airing across multiple dayparts, we are ensuring that all generations of animation fans can see this event-level series.”

“This show was created in my early days at Cartoon Network Studios more than 20 years ago. All the projects we worked on – ‘Dexter’s Laboratory,’ ‘Samurai Jack,’ and ‘Sym-Bionic Titan’ – were like a training ground getting us ready for this series. It took all of that time to finally be able to tackle a show like ‘Unicorn: Warriors Eternal,'” said Tartakovsky.
