Adult Swim (stylized as [adult swim]) is a Canadian English language specialty channel, based on the American programming block of the same name, that features animated and live-action shows targeting primarily an 14–34 audience. The network is wholly owned by Corus Entertainment subsidiary Showcase Television Inc. under a brand licensing agreement with WarnerMedia.
The channel was launched on April 1, 2019, replacing Action.

Programming
Adult Swim carries the majority of programming seen on its American counterpart, including its original adult animation and live-action comedies, and shows acquired from networks such as Fox. To fulfill Canadian content requirements, the channel also airs reruns of shows produced for the former Adult Swim and Teletoon at Night program blocks and carries over Action's morning block of made-for-TV movies.
Shows announced for the channel's launch include Rick and Morty, Robot Chicken, Tim & Eric's Bedtime Stories, The Eric Andre Show, and Lazor Wulf, the latter of which was announced to premiere day-and-date with the U.S service.
Compared with the U.S. channel, Adult Swim has not aired the revived Toonami anime block just as its sister channel YTV historically aired in its Bionix block in the 2000s.
