One episode will air each week during the new season, every Sunday night.
The first episode is called “Solaricks” and the description reads: “They’re back, baby! The Smiths deal with last season’s fallout, and Rick and Morty are stranded in space floating in the remnants of the citadel.”
Episode 2 is called “Rick: A Mort Well Lived” and the description reads: “Morty is trapped and Rick needs to save him, but to do so, Summer must do a Die Hard. This won’t be easy because she’s never seen it.”
Episode 3 is called “Bethic Twinstinct.” The description reads: “Gotta love yourself or no one else ever will, broh.”

Michael Ouweleen, president of Adult Swim and Cartoon Network, told Deadline about the show: “It’s hard to overstate the impact of Rick and Morty. More than a hit show, it is truly a global phenomenon. As we prepare to launch this soon-to-be iconic season, we will be giving fans a unique way to be part of the fun – so keep your eyes peeled.”
A new season poster was also released.
Comicbook.com reported that posters for the new season were randomly popping up in different cities. The one above is certainly intriguing, as it hints at a big storyline happening involving Jerry and Morty.
One fan, @Baronindadark, replied to the tweet and wrote, “I can’t tell if morty and jerry are becoming toxic versions like season 3 or portal energy. Or if it’s just a quick side torture that we’ll see but won’t be explained.”
And @gravyhiphop wrote, “something is going on with the hands on Jerry’s shoulders. I think each Beth has one hand on him but it just doesn’t look right.”
And @ComicalToons wrote, “Something tells me something is going to happen to Jerry and Morty. Why do they look like that? 👀.”
