When Will Rick and Morty Season 6 Premiere?
Rick and MortySeason 6 premieres on August 11, 2025, at 11 PM EST on Adult Swim. In past seasons, episodes could be released more than a week apart, and that may be the case for this season as well.
How Many Episodes Are There in Rick and Morty Season 6?
Rick and MortySeason 6 is made up of ten episodes, just like every other season besides the first, which is made up of eleven episodes including the pilot.
Here are the episode titles for Season 6:
Episode 1: “Bethic Twinstinct”
Episode 2: “Ricktional Mortpoon’s Rickmas Mortcation”
Episode 3: “Full Meta Jackrick”
Episode 4: “Final Destination”
Episode 5: “Rick: A Mort Well Lived”
Episode 6: “Night Family”
Episode 7: “A Rick in King Mortur’s Mort”
Episode 8: “Solaricks”
Episode 9: “Analyze Piss”
Episode 10: “Juricksic Mort”
Similar to many previously releasedRick and Mortyepisodes, these titles contain pop culture references to a vast array of movies and TV shows such asBasic InstinctandNight Gallery. However, parody titles for past episodes also relate to their corresponding narratives, and these new ones may follow suit. For example, “Ricktional Mortpoon’s Rickmas Mortcation,” which parodies the title of the classic 1989 filmNational Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, could see Rick and Morty partaking in a Christmas vacation that goes horribly wrong. We’ll just have to wait and find out.
Watch theRick and Morty Season 6 Trailer
The first promo forRick and MortySeason 6, which was released on June 02, 2025, doesn’t reveal anything noteworthy. This thirty-second teaser begins with a recap of the last season and ends with the titular characters telling the narrator to stop talking while they stare at a big red sign that says “SPOILER.”
Another promo titled “A Citadel Secret,” which was released the next day, reveals slightly more about this new season. The fifteen-second clip opens on a giant green egg housed in a lab. However, the lab starts to fall apart, and the glass container holding the egg begins to crack, all while an orchestral version of “For the Damaged Coda” byBlonde Redheadplays in the background. This trailer then displays the websiterickandmorty.com, which in turn displays a countdown for an event called “Wormageddon.” No details are currently known about this event, but it could somehow factor into the plot of Season 6.
The first official trailer, which was released on July 14, 2025, is perhaps the most in-depth look at the season so far. This 105-second preview depicts several crazy moments that involve police chases, Wolverine claws,Die Hardreferences, and so much more, all while the classic rock song “Paranoid” byBlack Sabbathplays throughout.
Who’s in the Voice Cast of Rick and Morty Season 6?
All the voice actors from the past five seasons are guaranteed to return for this new season. Justin Roiland once again voices both Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith (and other characters that are yet to be revealed). The longtime voices for the rest of the family also return, which includeChris Parnell(30 Rock) as Rick’s son-in-law / Morty’s father Jerry,Spencer Grammer(As the World Turns) as Rick’s granddaughter / Morty’s sister Summer, andSarah Chalke(Scrubs) as Rick’s daughter / Morty’s mother Beth (and her maybe clone / maybe original self Space Beth).
No other talent has been announced at this time, but past seasons have includedguest appearances from high-profile celebritiessuch asAlison Brie,Timothy Olyphant, andTaika Waititias well as well-known voice actors such asKari Wahlgren,Tom Kenny,Maurice LaMarche.

What Is Rick and Morty Season 6 About?
Theofficial plot synopsis forRick and MortySeason 6 is as follows:
It’s season six and Rick and Morty are back! Pick up where we left them, worse for wear and down on their luck. Will they manage to bounce back for more adventures? Or will they get swept up in an ocean of piss! Who knows?! Piss! Family! Intrigue! A bunch of dinosaurs! More piss! Another can’t miss season of your favorite show.
As a refresher, Season 5 ends with a Morty variant named Evil Morty destroying the Citadel of Ricks, an interdimensional safe haven for Ricks and Mortys across the multiverse, and more importantly, the Central Finite Curve, an overbearing collection of alternate universes where Rick is the smartest being alive and frequently mistreats his Morty, allowing Evil Morty to escape to a universe where no Ricks can abuse him and making the portal gun of the show’s Rick (also known as Rick C-137) inoperable. It will be interesting to see how he and the show’s Morty, who is not from Dimension C-137, bounce back from the ending of Season 5.
Roiland also toldIGNin 2022 that Season 6 will be “more canonical” and has a good “point of entry” episode. Maybe the egg in the “Wormaggedon” promo hatched due to the destruction of the Citadel, and it’s the point of entry Harmon is referring to? After all, “For the Damaged Coda” is the unofficial theme song of Evil Morty. Nevertheless, this is great news for fans who were sick of seasons with mostlyone-off episodes.
Will There Be More Seasons of Rick and Morty After Season 6?
Roilandannounced in 2018 that Adult Swim had ordered seventy new episodes ofRick and Morty. Since then, twenty episodes (or two seasons) have been released, meaning that fifty more episodes (or five seasons) are on their way–unless of course Adult Swim extends the deal even further.
What About the Rick and Morty Anime Spinoff?
For those who don’t know, Adult Swimannounced in May 2022 that aRick and Mortyanime spinoff is in the works. Appropriately titledRick and Morty: The Anime, this new show comes fromTower of GoddirectorTakashi Sano, who already made the anime shortsRick and Morty vs. GenociderandSummer Meets God (Rick Meets Evil).
