‘Rick & Morty’ Trailer: Season 9 Portals In On May 24 As The Wacky Sci-Fi Adventure Continues

“Rick & Morty” is arguably the modern comedic animated show that has dominated the space for years (in good company with “The Simpsons” and “South Park” still chugging along decades later), and next month sees new episodes in Season 9’s debut, as a new trailer has dropped.

The titular protagonist, Rick, is a god-like mad scientist who goes on all sorts of crazy adventures with his “grandson” Morty (the show is sort of a “Back To The Future” parody) in a Multiverse setting that combines all sorts of sci-fi TV and film tropes with a meta edge (beefs from the writers’ room often end up in the episodes as plot and bickering fodder).

This mega-popular satirical sci-fi comedy series stars Ian Cardoni, Harry Belden, Sarah Chalke, Chris Parnell, and Spencer Grammer, which is executive-produced by co-creator Dan Harmon and Scott Marder, who also serves as showrunner.

Here is the cheeky, but official logline for the next round of episodes:

“Rick & Morty” is back, baby! Season 9 is all certified bangers. No AI slop! Just Grade A organic slop, made by real humans with real human traits like back hair and cysts. Please watch, or we’ll have neglected our families for nothing.

With each season there is a slew of guest stars lending their talent and voices, some of those folks in the past include Keith David (who has his own “Rick & Morty” spinoff on the way), Alison Brie, Paul Giamatti, Taika Waititi, Andy Daly, Christina Hendricks, Susan Sarandon, Patton Oswalt, Werner Herzog, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, David Cross, Danny Trejo, Jeffrey Wright, Liam Cunningham, Stephen Root, Lisa Kudrow, and Hugh Jackman playing a heightened version of himself. We’re still waiting on an official announcement on who will be guest-starring in Season 9.

Having the show being on the pulse of nerd culture would explain why we’ve seen some of the “Rick & Morty” creative team get gobbled up by Marvel Studios for their various superhero projects such as Jessica Gao (“She-Hulk”), Michael Waldron (“Loki,” “Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness”), Jeff Loveness (“Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania,” “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty”), Tom Kaufman (“Loki,” “What If…?”), and, lastly, Harmon did some minor contribution work on the first “Doctor Strange.”
