🎙️ Voice is AI-generated. Inconsistencies may occur.

The wait is almost over as Rick and Morty is back for a sixth season of multiversal exploration and insanity.

Rick and Morty Season 6 starts soon, as the show picks up from the epic Season 5 cliffhanger that saw Evil Morty exit Rick's Central Finite Curve, potentially changing the aspect of the entire series going forwards.

Co-creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon are back and will be voicing characters regularly throughout the season. Ahead of the launch, they spoke to Newsweek about what to expect in Season 6, and gave their brutally honest opinion on Season 5 too.

Here's everything you need to know about Rick and Morty Season 6.

Rick and Morty Season 6 Release Date

As mentioned by all of the teasers and promotional material for Season 6 of Rick and Morty, the new season premieres on Sunday, September 4, at 11 p.m. ET/PT on Adult Swim. For those who need to watch online, live TV streaming services that feature Adult Swim will be necessary.

New episodes are scheduled to air weekly at the same time every Sunday on Adult Swim, Cartoon Network's after-hours channel.

Rick and Morty Season 6 on Streaming

Fans will have to catch Rick and Morty while it's on TV, or make sure to DVR it, since unlike many other television shows these days, Rick and Morty will not be available to stream the next day on streaming platforms and services.

Seasons 1-5 of Rick and Morty are available to watch on HBO Max, and it's likely that Season 6 will only be made available to watch on the platform once the entirety of the season plays out on Adult Swim.

Rick and Morty Season 6 Episodes

Season 6 of Rick and Morty will contain 10 episodes in total, starting with Solaricks, which airs at 11 p.m. on Sunday, September 4.

All 10 episode titles have been revealed ahead of their launch, with each title featuring a pun on existing pop culture properties. The titles often give a clue as to the story of each episode.

Here's the full list of Season 6 episodes:

  • Episode 1 - Solaricks
  • Episode 2 - Rick: A Mort Well Lived
  • Episode 3 - Bethic Twinstinct
  • Episode 4 - Night Family
