In Adult Swim's surprise April Fool's Day Broadcast special, Rick and Morty Season 8 was announced, and a clip was released, giving us a peak into the upcoming season. The surprise broadcast had a compilation of some of the best Rick and Morty moments performed theatrically.

As Adult Swim stated in the video, Rick and Morty Season 8 will premiere on May 25, 2025. The episodes will come out every Sunday at 11:00 pm PT/ET. Rick and Morty's official Twitter handle has also confirmed the news.

The logline for Rick and Morty Season 8 reads,

“Life has meaning again! Anything is possible! Look out for adventures with Summer, Jerry, Beth, and the other Beth. Maybe Butter Bot will get a new task? Whatever happens, you can’t keep Rick and Morty down for long. People have tried!”

The two-time Emmy-winning show has been widely popular since its release. Ever since season 7 was released in 2023, fans have been eagerly waiting for the release date of the eighth season. Adult Swim has not only released a fun April Fool's broadcast but also made Rick and Morty fans extremely happy.


What to Expect from the Adult Swim Show, Rick and Morty Season 8?

From the logline, it is evident that Rick and Morty will continue to go on exciting adventures. Season 7 ended on a confusing note, leaving fans not sure if Rick and Morty really escaped the "Fear Hole" or were tricked into believing that they did. Rick and Morty Season 8 will hopefully clear all confusion.

According to Deadline, Michael Ouweleen, president of Adult Swim, stated about the broadcast and Rick and Morty Season 8,

“We hope you enjoyed our theater interpretations of Rick and Morty, especially if you are well-off/impulsive and now want to back a Broadway version of the show... For the rest of you, we’re glad you now know when Season Eight is starting so you have time to stretch and get loose because the team has yet again made a totally great season of television.”

Adult Swim seems confident about the upcoming season of Rick and Morty, which means the show, like other times, will be a hit with audiences soon.

Rick and Morty follows the adventures of a "mad scientist," Rick, and his grandson, Morty. The duo travels through planets and dimensions on their adventures, adding a terrific science fiction element to the show along with humor.

However, it is not just an animated show about a grandfather and his grandson. The stories shed light on a much deeper message. It subtly shows us how life puts us in such monotonous roles that it soon starts to seem futile, thus leaving us in search of meaning in a complicated world.

While Rick and Morty Season 8 comes out on May 25, 2025, you can watch all episodes of Rick and Morty on Adult Swim, Max, and Hulu.
