SEASON EIGHT OF ADULT SWIM'S GLOBAL HIT SERIES "RICK AND MORTY" ARRIVES MAY 25
BURBANK (April 1, 2025) - Adult Swim's #1 series that follows a sociopathic genius scientist who drags his inherently timid grandson on adventures across the universe, "Rick and Morty," will return for an eighth season Sunday, May 25 at 11:00pm ET/PT.
Adult Swim announced the premiere date and released a first look at "Rick and Morty" Season Eight as part of today's traditional April Fools' Day broadcast special. The network surprised fans with a 22-minute anthology special featuring fan favorite "Rick and Morty" moments re-told through an Adult Swim lens of absurd, live-action, theater-based genres. Fans who missed the surprise broadcast can watch online here.
"We hope you enjoyed our theater interpretations of 'Rick and Morty,' especially if you are well-off/impulsive and now want to back a Broadway version of the show," said Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen. "For the rest of you, we're glad you now know when Season Eight is starting so you have time to stretch and get loose because the team has yet again made a totally great season of television."
"Rick and Morty" stars Ian Cardoni, Harry Belden, Sarah Chalke, Chris Parnell, and Spencer Grammer and 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 garnered two Emmys for "Outstanding Animated Program." A global phenomenon, the eighth season of "Rick and Morty" will debut in over 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. "Rick and Morty" Season Eight will be available to stream in the U.S. beginning September 1.
The official "Rick and Morty" Season Eight description is below:
Rick and Morty is back for Season Eight! Life has meaning again! Anything is possible! Look out for adventures with Summer, Jerry, Beth, and the other Beth. Maybe Butter Bot will get a new task? Whatever happens, you can't keep Rick and Morty down for long. People have tried!
