‘Rick and Morty’ Season 5 Preview
“Rick and Morty” season 5 premieres on Sunday, June 20 at 11 p.m. Eastern. Adult Swim has already released several trailers related to the new season. You can watch the first above. If you want an uncensored trailer, you can visit Adult Swim’s website here.
It looks like Jessica is coming back for an adventure, and we might enjoy another apocalyptic-themed episode. And at some point, Rick gets hurt while on a planet where it looks like they can see themselves in parallel dimensions. We’ll also get another episode where we see multiple Ricks, which is always fun.
Here’s a second trailer for the new season.
Here’s the official third trailer for the new season.
You can watch the first two minutes of the new episode in this cold open released on YouTube. If the cold open looks familiar, it’s because a storyboard version was released previously that had some minor differences in dialogue.
Including Season 5, we’ll likely have six more seasons of Rick and Morty. After Season 3 ended in May 2018, Adult Swim signed a deal for 70 more episodes of the show. Adult Swim confirmed with Heavy in a statement at the time: “Adult Swim has made a long-term overall deal with the creators that will include 70 new episodes of the critically acclaimed series…”
Because there were 10 episodes in season 4 that aired after the deal was signed, we’re looking at 60 more episodes of the series including this season. The fifth season is going to consist of 10 episodes on Adult Swim, so there will still be 50 episodes to watch once season 5 concludes.
Dan Harmon told Digital Spy that this new season is going to feel like the episodes tie together more than previous seasons have.
He said: “I’m firmly against that reset-button-hitting where there’s no awareness present. I look at it as like smoking meat versus cooking it. You kind of let the flavor of itself happen, and let that change things. … They kind of refine it. The age of the bit, it kind of seasons the characters. … Morty is getting sick of Rick’s crap. He should. We wouldn’t want to watch him wake up every day and go, ‘I wonder what my loving grandpa has planned for me?”
