Has there been any news whatsoever about the new season since it's announcement?

They are going to show a sneak peek of the new season at the Annecy film festival sometime in June (13th-18th).

After last night's FishCenter fuckery, I'm gonna have to ask you for sauce.

>The Annecy animation festival, the world’s largest gathering of industry pros and students, has revealed more programming highlights for its upcoming edition, taking place June 13-18.
>Among the big news is two work-in-progress sessions showing first footage from a couple of hotly anticipated projects: the French feature film adaptation of Arthur de Pins’ comic series Zombillenium (pictured top) and Genndy Tartakovsky’s reboot of Samurai Jack for Adult Swim, in which he’ll finally conclude the story.

Kind of.
>Some dumb YTer asked the guys working on the new show questions on Facebook.

>Jack's going to be slightly taller and older, but basically the same
>Backgrounds are going be digitally painted instead of hand-painted due to budget. They're still going to try to make it look as much as the original as possible
>They stress that's it a continuation, not a reboot
>The IDW comic is not canon
>The theme song will be the same, but the intro animation will be different
>They didn't want to say too much about how much the darker the series will be now that it's on Adult Swim, but they did note that with this season bringing the story to an end, the intensity and drama are going to be a lot higher. Being on AS allows them to push things "both dramatically and visually."

Until I see a link to the AMA, I'm gonna take all the info in that video with a grain of salt.

Found it. It's actually on reddit, not Facebook.

>Conclude the story
On the one hand I'm glad that we're getting a resolution, but on the other I'm sad that this means we're only getting one more season.
Hopefully this will give Genndy a publicity boost or something and he won't have to beg for scraps anymore.

Ah so it is just coming back for one season.

Sounds like it's probably not going to be that much different from the original with the exception that we might start seeing enemies that aren't robots and maybe see Jack get wounded a little more often. Which I'm okay with.

So it will be possibly a month before we see any real footage of the show.
Do we think it will actually be released this year?
