The Emmy Award-winning Adult Swim animated comedy series Rick and Morty is returning to E4 this October.
“We can’t wait to be taken on another laugh out loud ride across the universe with Rick and Morty and the rest of the Smith family,” said Karl Warner, Head of Youth and Digital at Channel 4. “We’re playing the new series as close to its US broadcast as possible, knowing that young UK audiences will flock to our digital platforms to catch up or stream the chaos.”
For those living under a rock, Rick and Morty follows a sociopathic genius scientist who drags his inherently timid grandson on insanely dangerous adventures across the universe. Rick Sanchez is living with his daughter Beth’s family and constantly bringing her, his son-in-law Jerry, granddaughter Summer and grandson Morty into intergalactic escapades.
Here’s what we’ve been told about Season Seven…
Rick and Morty are back and sounding more like themselves than ever! The possibilities are endless: what’s up with Jerry? EVIL Summer?! And will they ever go back to the high school?! Maybe not! But let’s find out!
But what sort of mischief will they get up to as they travel across the galaxy? What iconic new creatures will they discover? And will they end up in in grave danger (of course they will!)
“It’s happening,” confirmed Michael Ouweleen, president of Adult Swim. “Thanks to the talent of the entire show team, we can all enjoy 10 new episodes that yet again raise the bar for comedy and animation.
“This season proves that the geniuses at work on Rick and Morty are just getting started.”
Rick and Morty will return to E4 and be available to stream on Channel 4 this October. Read our interview with series co-creator Dan Harmon here.
