The show creators often keep fans on their toes with unexpected announcements and timelines. Just when we’re unsure about another season, a set date is suddenly revealed.
Adult Swim has recently announced that the fifth season of the time-traveling animated comedy created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland will premiere on Sunday, June 20 at 11:00 PM EST. This date will also mark “Rick and Morty Day,” featuring special content such as sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes footage, and surprises across various platforms to kick off the new season globally.

Based on the new trailer, the upcoming season will continue with its signature mix of humor, multiverse adventures, and family dynamics. Rick and Morty typically features standalone episodes, while also addressing ongoing plotlines from previous seasons. Past seasons have shown that any loose ends are usually tied up swiftly, within one or two episodes at most.
