As confirmed by Adult Swim, Rick and Morty season 9 premieres on May 24. The synopsis reads, "Rick and Morty is back, baby! Season Nine is all certified bangers. No AI slop! Just Grade A organic slop, made by real humans with real human traits like back hair and cysts. Please watch, or we'll have neglected our families for nothing."

(Image credit: Adult Swim)A trailer arrives on March 12, which promises more of a glimpse at Rick and Morty's upcoming portal-hopping adventures. It's also the third consecutive season for voice actors Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden as Rick and Morty after the 2023 firing of Justin Roiland.
In a statement, Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen said, "I know it's my job to say that this show just keeps topping itself, but it also has the benefit of being true. It's kind of scary what this show unit is doing season over season – just pouring an absurd amount of talent and brilliance into these episodes."
With Rick and Morty once again diving into mind-melting, personal territory for everyone's favorite anarchic grandfather-and-grandson duo, we can perhaps expect more high concept hijinks and a gut punch or two.
A Rick and Morty spin-off, starring Keith David's President Curtis, is also on the way.
