“Rick and Morty 100 years.”
Rick and Morty is an Adult Swim show that primarily follows the sci-fi adventures of Rick C-137 and Prime Morty. In addition to the grandfather and grandson duo, the series involves the rest of the Smith family and explores different versions of Rick and Morty. With Season 8 recently concluding with a sweet moment between Memory Rick and Memory Diane, fans now want to know what happens next. Here’s what we know so far about the Rick and Morty Season 9 release date and details.
Will there be a Rick and Morty Season 9?
Yes, there will be a Season 9 of Rick and Morty. Adult Swim confirmed it years ago. It was already partially written in 2023. The writing was then finished after the end of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike. The season entered its final production phase in May 2025 and voice work began in July 2025.
Rick and Morty Season 9 release date
At the time of publishing this article, the exact release date for Rick and Morty Season 9 hasn’t been confirmed yet. However, fans can look forward to some quality work, according to co-creator Dan Harmon.
"It's all been very challenging. I was certainly never gonna let the show die,” Harmon told Radio Times back in 2023. “We're writing Season 9, we had way too much quality work down the pipe that I would have never let go away.”
More recently, Harmon told The Hollywood Reporter that the voice work for Season 9 has already started under showrunner Scott Marder. He said that he’s excited about Rick and Morty Season 10 as well, adding that the show wants to always be ahead of schedule to stay timeless.

Rick and Morty Season 9 predictions
In terms of our Rick and Morty Season 9 predictions, we may see how Rick and Morty’s relationship has evolved over time. The Season 8 finale had Rick becoming more emotionally open and seeking peace with Diane. It also showed how much he cares for Beth.
Some fans pointed out the lack of Rick and Morty together on adventures this season despite the show’s namesake. This may or may not have been intentional since Season 9 could go into their growing independence from each other or bring back classic sci-fi adventures without the weight of revenge hanging over Rick. That’s because with the help of Evil Morty, our Rick ended Prime Rick back in Season 7.
Or, perhaps, since Rick no longer carries that need for revenge, the show might focus more on the Smith family and other characters. This could even explain the increased attention on Summer, Beth, Jerry, plus the range of side characters in Season 8.
Whatever happens, we’ll be tuning in to see where the series goes and what kind of hilarious shenanigans Rick and Morty get into next.
That's all for now. Did you enjoy the Season 8 finale? Are you excited about Season 9? Stay tuned to esports.gg for more entertainment news and updates!
