'Rick and Morty' Season 8 Premiere Date Announced

Adult Swim confirmed the May 25th premiere date following its unique April Fool's Day special, 'Portal People,' a 22-minute production by the fictional 'Rick and Morty Playhouse Players' reenacting show moments in a theatrical style. This continues Adult Swim's tradition of using April 1st for 'Rick and Morty' related events, including the surprise Season 3 premiere drop in 2017.

Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen commented on the announcement: *“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. 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.”*

The official description for Season 8 teases more adventures: *“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!”*

New episodes will be available on digital retailers the day after airing on Adult Swim and are expected to stream on Max starting September 1st.
