tartakovsky conceived "samurai jack" after finishing his work on his first cartoon network original series, "dexter's laboratory", which premiered in 1996. "samurai jack" was inspired by tartakovsky's enjoyment of the "kung fu" televised drama starring david carradine as well as his fascination with samurai culture. on august 10, 2001, "samurai jack" premiered with a three-part made-for-tv movie called "the premiere movie". it ran for four seasons consisting of thirteen episodes apiece until september 25, 2004, without concluding the story. a revival was produced twelve years later, resulting in a fifth season that provided a conclusion to the overarching story. the fifth season premiered on adult swim's toonami block on march 11, 2017, and the final episode, which served as the series finale, aired on may 20, 2017. "samurai jack" episodes are directed by tartakovsky, often in collaboration with others.

a film intended to conclude the story of "samurai jack" had been in development at different times by four different studios. as early as 2002, cartoon network was producing a "samurai jack" live action feature film, in association with new line cinema. tartakovsky said in a 2006 interview that the live action version of "samurai jack" was thankfully abandoned, and that "we will finish the story, and there will be an animated film." fred seibert announced in 2007 that the newly-formed frederator films was developing a "samurai jack" movie, which was planned to be in stereoscopic 2d with a budget of 20 million dollars. seibert said in 2009 the film was being co-produced with j. j. abrams' bad robot productions. sony pictures entertainment expressed interest in developing a "samurai jack" film in 2012. genndy tartakovsky said in an interview with ign the "samurai jack" movie is in pre-production: "i've been trying so hard every year, and the one amazing thing about jack is that i did it in 2001, you know, and it still survived. there's something about it that's connected with people. and i want it, it's number 1 on my list, and now bob osher, the president, is like 'hey, let's talk about jack. let's see what we can do.' and i go, 'you're going to do a 2d feature animated movie?' and he's like, 'yeah. maybe. let's do some research and let's see.' so it's not dead for sure by any means, and it's still on the top of my list, and i'm trying as hard as i can." tartakovsky said the loss of mako iwamatsu (aku's voice actor) would also need to be addressed. the feature film project never materialized, and eventually the series concluded with a fifth television season.
