“I know it’s my job to say that this show just keeps topping itself, but it also has the benefit of being true,” reveals Michael Ouweleen, president of Adult Swim.
“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. From the first frame, you’re going to see great high‑concept insanity with some of the best character writing ever done. Again, it’s my job to say that, but it’s also true.”
This imaginative, totally-bonkers show has a legion of hardcore followers that will be pleased to know that it’s been greenlit through Season 12, so the trans-dimensional diversions are far from over.
Executive produced by Dan Harmon and showrunner Scott Marder, “Rick and Morty” stars the vocal talents of Ian Cardoni, Harry Belden, Sarah Chalke, Chris Parnell, and Spencer Grammer
“Rick and Morty” season 9 lands at Adult Swim on May 24 at 11 p.m. ET/PT. In the meantime, you can also catch the previous eight seasons on Netflix.
