Source summary
WikipediaThe fifth and final season of Samurai Jack, an American animated series, premiered on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block on March 11, 2017, and concluded its run on May 20, 2017. The announcement of the season came in December 2015, eleven years since the series was originally concluded on Cartoon Network. Genndy Tartakovsky, the series' creator, returned as a director, writer, and storyboarder for this season. Set approximately 50 years after the original four seasons, it follows the titular character, who has not biologically aged in this time, as he aimlessly wanders the Earth with his sword lost and seemingly no remaining means of returning to his native time to destroy the demon Aku, who sent him to the distant future in the series premiere. His hope is gradually restored when he convinces Ashi, an assassin from an all-female Aku-worshipping cult, to join his cause.
