Where to watch samurai jack season 5 reddit

EDIT: Season 5 Episode 1 is now available on Adult Swim with a cable subscription login. I will update this with services that work as soon as I get time to test them out. If you would prefer a single purchase over a subscription service Amazon has the premiere episode for $3. Info for free trial streaming services are below:

I've seen a number of posts from people asking about ways to watch the Season 5 premiere. Like many people nowadays, I do not have cable, so I hoped to stream it online. What I've gathered here is a list of ways to do so live. I've included all of the options I could verify. Netflix will not have it. And some services like Hulu, iTunes and Amazon Video that have Samurai Jack, gave no information on when the new episodes would be available, so they are not included here. If they do post something, than I will edit this post. For now, here are the rest:

Direct TV Now

This is a streaming service offered by Direct TV. Given that, it's pretty much your basic Cable package, but available through several streaming devices instead of a cable box. It does offer Adult Swim/Cartoon Network and does host live episodes for all of its shows. The downside is that it costs $35 a month. If you're interested in the 60+ channels you get with this, it might be the way to go. Here is a 30 7 day free trial. However, if you prefer a more open 'Netflix' like streaming service with less overloaded channels, this might not be the one for you. Unfortunately, it is not available on any game console that you might stream from. Only TV streaming devices like Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, PC, etc.

Playstation Vue

This is a service that used to only be available on PS3 and PS4. It has now since branched out to several TVs, Apple TV, Roku, ChromeCast, etc (not available on Xbox360 or Xbox One). They offer less channels than Direct TV Now, but the available channels include Adult Swim/Cartoon Network. It's also a bit cheaper at $30 monthly. And includes services like On-Demand content and DVR. A free trial is also available here. If your main streaming device is a Playstation console, this might be a good route. Since you already have a PS Account which this service would be tied to.

Sling TV

This service is owned by Direct TV Dish Network, but seems to be less feature oriented and tries to be more of a streaming service then an online TV service like Direct TV Now. It comes in the cheapest at $20 a month for 20 channels. You can also tie on additional pay-per-channels like HBO for an additional cost. Here is the trial link. It is not available on Playstation devices or Xbox 360, but it does work for Xbox One, PCs and most other streaming devices. If you are just looking to watch Samurai Jack, this would be the best option given that it's the cheapest way to get Adult Swim. It does come at the cost of less services though. Many channels can't be paused or rewound. Some do not have replayability, and others can't be recorded.

Device Compatibility

Here is a table I found showing what devices each service is available on

AdultSwim.com Info

I have seen a lot of people suggest that the Season 5 premiere will be available on AdultSwim.com. This is true, however, there is a major caveat. You need to have a cable subscription with Adult Swim to stream from AdultSwim.com. Edit: I was wrong and apparently they are showing it on the Samurai Jack stream. Thank you /u/jhumbug for that info. The stream schedule shows that the premiere will start at 10:30PM ET.

Conclusion

I'm excited for the premiere and I hope you are too. I'm posting this to help those who may not have a method to watch. Some of the services/features may not be available outside of the US. However, if you plan to watch through a browser, there are a few very simple browser plugins (Like Stealthy or ZenMate) that mask your location or connect you through US proxies. These are free and may be worth downloading to see if you can get to the trial sites I've linked above. This should ideally allow you to watch the premiere for free, regardless of your location.

If anyone has questions, comments, or corrections, please post them. I plan to update this post as things change, as well as post reviews for those who may want to wait to sign up or pay for a services. Thanks for reading and take care.

Google and Safari video play does not work on my phone and on my computer. And I am from the Philippines and Adult Swim does not air here on our Cartoon Network. In need of help. Thanks in advance!
