Rick and Morty has always been a show that's required patience due to its slow production schedule, but after Adult Swim ordered 70 new episodes of the series, fans have plenty to look forward to. The current season consists of ten episodes, and after we got five of them last year, it's now been confirmed that the rest will air from May 3rd.
There are a lot of cool moments in this sneak peek, including the surprise return of Snowball, a fan-favourite character from the first season of the hit TV series.
We also see lightsabers, facehuggers, mechs, and plenty of pop culture references, all of which fans of Rick and Morty should definitely appreciate. Oh, and don't start fretting that this is some sort of elaborate April Fool's Day prank, as the trailer was actually released in the closing few minutes of March 31st (perhaps the longest month of all-time).
There was a two and a half year wait for season four, so we have no idea how long the wait for season five will be. After Adult Swim gave the green light to those 70 episodes, the hope is that Rick and Morty will be released on a more regular basis. With that in mind, we're hoping we see the next batch either at the end of the year or in early 2021.
What we do know is that COVID-19 is almost certainly going to delay the animated series. In the meantime, you can check out this trailer in the player below...
