Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles[1] is an animated television series developed by Candie and Doug Langdale.[2] The show is loosely based on the Usagi Yojimbo comic books by Stan Sakai. Unlike its source material where the comics takes place in the past, the show takes place in the future and Miyamoto Usagi is not the lead protagonist, the character instead appearing in a minor role, with Yuki Matsuzaki reprising his role from the 2012 version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

It was produced for Netflix Animation and Atomic Monster by Dark Horse Entertainment and Gaumont Animation, and premiered on Netflix on April 28, 2022.[3] The second and final season was released on September 1, 2022.[4][5]
