Chaotic comedy series Rick and Morty is coming back for a sixth season, and fans can’t wait to find out what’s in store for the crackpot scientist and his grandson.
It’s been a long old wait as season 5 wrapped way back on September 5, 2021, so it’s been the best part of a year for not-so-patient fans – but the good news is there isn’t long left to go! Considering there was a two-year wait between seasons 3 and 4, they’re making good time.

It reads: “It’s season six and Rick and Morty are back! Pick up where we left them, worse for wear and down on their luck. Will they manage to bounce back for more adventures? Or will they get swept up in an ocean of piss! Who knows?! Piss! Family! Intrigue! A bunch of dinosaurs! More piss! Another can’t miss season of your favorite show.”
Michael Ouweleen, president of Adult Swim and Cartoon Network says: “It’s hard to overstate the impact of Rick and Morty. More than a hit show, it is truly a global phenomenon,”
“As we prepare to launch this soon-to-be iconic season, we will be giving fans a unique way to be part of the fun — so keep your eyes peeled.”
A spin-off is also in the works, after Adult Swim ordered Rick and Morty: The Anime from director Takashi Sanok.
