Yes, a shred of good news just hit our desk… one of the most popular animated comedies has released a new trailer, with action so fantastic it broke the garbage disposal; premieres May 24 on the network, with next-day digital availability and U.S. streaming beginning August 31.
Adult Swim just dropped the trailer for Season 9 of Rick and Morty, which premieres Sunday, May 24 at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT. Yes siree Bob! Check your garbage disposal to make sure it’s still working!
Last month, Michael Ouweleen, president of Adult Swim, shared, “I know it’s my job to say that this show just keeps topping itself, but it also has the benefit of being true. It’s kind of scary what this show unit is doing season over season — just pouring an absurd amount of talent and brilliance into these episodes. From the first frame, you’re going to see great high-concept insanity with some of the best character writing ever done. Again, it’s my job to say that, but it’s also true.”
Now, you can see for yourselves:
The Season 9 synopsis stuns in its simplicity: “Rick and Morty is back, baby! Season 9 is all certified bangers. No AI slop! Just Grade A organic slop, made by real humans with real human traits like back hair and cysts. Please watch, or we'll have neglected our families for nothing.”
The hit comedy stars Ian Cardoni, Harry Belden, Sarah Chalke, Chris Parnell, and Spencer Grammer. It is executive produced by Dan Harmon and Scott Marder, who also serves as showrunner.
Rick and Morty was the #1 comedy across all of cable during seasons three, four, five and six and has received two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Program.
The ninth season will debut in more than 170 countries in 42 languages. In the U.S., new episodes will be available for purchase from digital retailers the day after they premiere on Adult Swim. Season 9 will begin streaming in the U.S. on August 31.
