It’s that time of year again: Rick and Morty is back with a new season next month, and Adult Swim’s got a new trailer teasing what’s in store.
So what wacky adventures will the Smith family get up to next? There’s a casino full of Ricks and Mortys (including a Colonel Sanders-type Rick), Rick and Space Beth fighting germaphobic aliens, egg theft, and Rick’s “Death Race” car that’ll surely plow through tons of people.
Earlier in April, Adult Swim revealed the episode titles for a new season, which continue the series’ trend of referencing recent and popular movies. The titles are as follows:
- Summer of All Fears
- Valkyrick
- The Rick, The Mort & The Ugly
- The Last Temptation of Jerry
- Cryo Mort a Ricker
- The Curicksous Case of Bethjamin Button
- Ricker Than Fiction
- Nomortland
- Morty Daddy
- Hot Rick
Season seven featured a handful of big moments like Rick taking vengeance on the counterpart who killed his family, Evil Morty striking out on his own, and Morty realizing his worst fear is being left behind by Rick. When io9 talked to showrunner Scott Marder in 2023, he confirmed the death of Rick Prime will be felt for quite a while, and that’s just part of their plans for the 12-season show. “There are a lot of chess pieces that are moving,” he teased at the time, “And I’m excited for everyone to see where they fall.”
Rick and Morty season eight premieres May 25 on Adult Swim.
