Oh Jeez, Rick and Morty Will Return in May
Adult Swim has announced the long-awaited return of the critically acclaimed animated series Rick and Morty, with the eighth season premiering on May 25th. The news comes as part of Adult Swim’s annual April Fools’ Day broadcast special, and we’re not fooling around – this is real, folks!
The announcement was made during a 22-minute special presentation that showcased absurd, live-action, theater-based interpretations of fan-favorite Rick and Morty moments. And trust us, you won’t want to miss it. Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen took the opportunity to express his enthusiasm for the upcoming season, stating that the team has once again created a “totally great season of television.”
Rick and Morty stars Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden as the titular duo, along with Sarah Chalk, Tom Kenny, and Jessye Romeo. The series follows the adventures of mad scientist Rick Sanchez and his grandson Morty Smith across multiple dimensions, exploring themes of existentialism, ethics, and… well, let’s just say it’s not for kids.
In related news, we’re expecting a significant buzz around the announcement of Yolo: Rainbow Trinity, which premieres on March 9th. And if you’re feeling nostalgic, be sure to check out our reviews of recent anime releases, including ShinichirÅ Watanabe’s new series Lazarus, set to debut on Adult Swim’s Toonami on April 5.
