Adult Swim and Cartoon Network Bringing Rick and Morty and More to Comic Con; Amazon Freevee Brings TV Stars to New Movie

Rick and Morty - My Adventures with Superman

Adult Swim and Cartoon Network announced a must-see San Diego Comic-Con lineup featuring top animated series. With a schedule that encompasses both kids' and family entertainment and adult comedy, this year's schedule will include panels for the Emmy(R)-winning global phenomenon Rick and Morty, new action-packed series My Adventures with Superman, the latest season of the adult animated comedy Teenage Euthanasia, as well as Cartoon Networks' upcoming new show Tiny Toons Looniversity. Plus, Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment will also highlight the forthcoming releases of the highly anticipated animated films based on two of Adult Swim's most beloved series: The Venture Bros.: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart and Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar.

Delving into each series, panels will bring exclusive first looks, behind-the-scenes insights, and interactive fun. Join the zany cast and crew of Cartoon Network's Tiny Toons Looniversity for an exclusive screening and Q&A before flying to Metropolis for a behind-the-scenes look at Adult Swim's newest series, My Adventures with Superman. Panels continue throughout the day with a look at season two of Teenage Euthanasia, the epic return of Dethklok in a Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar preview panel, culminating in a 10th-anniversary celebration and season seven sneak peek of Adult Swim's wildly popular series, Rick and Morty. Additional Adult Swim and Cartoon Network events during San Diego Comic-Con include the Adult Swim Festival on the Green in San Diego and signings at the DC booth with the cast of My Adventures with Superman.


Puppy Love

Amazon Freevee released the trailer and key art for its upcoming Original film Puppy Love, a new romantic comedy starring Lucy Hale (Pretty Little Liars) and Grant Gustin (The Flash). Produced by BuzzFeed Studios and Lionsgate, Puppy Love will premiere on Freevee and also be available to rent or own digitally on Friday, August 18. After a disastrous first date, wild child Nicole (Lucy Hale) and socially anxious Max (Grant Gustin) vow to lose each other's numbers, until they learn that their dogs found a love match, and now puppies are on the way! The hilariously mismatched Nicole and Max are forced to become responsible co-parents, but may end up finding love themselves.

The film was inspired by BuzzFeed's viral digital series Puppyhood produced in 2015, which followed a man who found his soulmate in a puppy. Puppy Love also features Jane Seymour (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman), Michael Hitchcock (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), and Nore Davis (Nore Davis: You Guys are Dope).
