by

Summary

  • Fans were treated to a unique April Fools’ project featuring real people reenacting Rick and Morty scenes.
  • Adult Swim surprised fans with a preview of the show’s upcoming eighth season and premiere date.
  • Season 8 of Rick and Morty slated for May 25 linear debut, showcasing confidence in the show’s future.

On April Fool’s Day, Rick and Morty once more took center stage on Adult Swim’s antics, but this time, the joke had a pleasant twist for fans. Instead of just a prank, the annual gag concealed some genuinely exciting updates.

For several years now, the animated series “Rick and Morty” has been a favorite among viewers, frequently getting renewed and even incorporating humor about its anticipated long-term success within the storyline. However, a difficult period arose when one of the show’s co-creators and primary voice actors stepped down due to grave accusations. Despite this setback, the show managed to continue and debut a new season featuring different voice talent and a more subdued style. Ever since then, fans have been anxiously waiting for updates, with Dan Harmon, the series creator, hinting at even more “Rick and Morty” after the show’s seventh season ‘reboot’.

Although it was announced that the sixth season of “Solar Opposites” will be its final one, Adult Swim opted against a fake “Rick and Morty” cancellation for their April Fool’s Day prank this year. Instead, fans received an interesting project on the Adult Swim YouTube channel. The video, titled “April Fools 2025: Portal People | Rick and Morty,” features real people wearing makeup, props, and costumes to reenact popular scenes from the show. Despite being a rather poor ‘joke’, it was an enjoyable way to spend half an hour. To the surprise of many, the video also included a sneak peek at the show’s eighth season and its release date. Michael Ouweleen, president of Adult Swim, issued an official statement alongside the joke video and premiere news.

We’re delighted if our stage adaptations of ‘Rick and Morty’ were enjoyable for you, particularly for those who are adventurous/impulsive types, as we invite you to invest in a future Broadway production of the series. For everyone else, we’re happy that you now know when Season 8 is premiering, giving you ample time to relax and prepare because our team has once again crafted an exceptional season of television.

This year on May 25th, you’ll have limited time to relax because Rick and Morty season 8 will debut. Known for its high rewatchability, this comedy series competes with some of the most beloved live-action shows. It was only a matter of time before it returned for another installment, and now we know when to tune in. The fact that Adult Swim is focusing on promoting Rick and Morty this April Fools’ Day suggests they have faith in its future, which is reassuring to fans who feared it might end up like Solar Opposites.

Although many viewers favor the earlier seasons of Rick and Morty, the possibility of starting anew after the Justin Roiland controversy provides an opportunity for freshness. The seventh season showed progress from previous installments, almost reaching its pinnacle, so fans may anticipate an eighth season that surpasses it even more. Fingers crossed, this upcoming season might excel and potentially inspire a genuine Broadway adaptation. Notably, similar success was achieved with the anime-style venture.

As a passionate movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that the captivating series, “Rick and Morty,” can be streamed on Max in the United States. The much-anticipated season 8 is scheduled for premiere on May 25, 2025, on Adult Swim. Can’t wait!
