“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 follows a sociopathic genius scientist who takes his shy grandson on adventures across the universe.
According to the official description for season eight: "Life has meaning again! Anything is possible! Expect adventures with Summer, Jerry, Beth and the other Beth. Maybe Butter Bot will get a new job? No matter what, you can't hold Rick and Morty back for long. People tried!"
Rick and Morty was the #1 animated comedy series on cable in seasons three, four, five and six, according to Adult Swim and Nielsen, and has won two Emmys for Outstanding Animated Series.
Adult Swim has announced that season eight will premiere on Sunday, May 25 at 11 p.m. ET. The series is available in the Netherlands on Netflix (six seasons) and HBO Max (seven seasons).
