The long wait for the "Samurai Jack" Season 5 air date might actually be much shorter than expected. Adult Swim has just teased on the possibility that the final season of the beloved animated series will premiere in early March. But is it just a tease or could Jack be back earlier this year?

The return of the Genndy Tartakovsky animated series was announced back in 2016, and the creator confirmed that the final season will be part of Adult Swim's 2017 lineup. So far, the network has been airing the show's previous episodes every Saturday nights. However, according to io9, Adult Swim made a short, blink-and-you'll-miss-it promo to tease on the "Samurai Jack" Season 5 air date.

Adult Swim's brief teaser on the "Samurai Jack" Season 5 air date begins with a fan's tweet about the show's premiere. The response is very quick, telling viewers to watch out on one particular Saturday in March. There is another tweet asking about the fifth season, which is answered with, "What did we just say?" The ad was immediately noticed and shared on Twitter by @CabooseJr.

It certainly is an exciting time for "Samurai Jack" fans who have been hoping to see the final season sooner this year. It was previously reported that the "Samurai Jack" Season 5 air date might be pushed back to late December as Adult Swim finishes airing all 52 previous episodes. However, it is certainly good news if the network decides to move the premiere up to March.

It is important to point out that Adult Swim has not given an official announcement on the "Samurai Jack" Season 5 air date. If the promo proves to be more than just a teaser, the final season of "Samurai Jack" will air on March 11 at 11:30PM.
