From the first frame, you’re going to see great high‑concept insanity with some of the best character writing ever done. Again, it’s my job to say that, but it’s also true.”

Rick and Morty first aired in 2013 and often had long gaps between seasons in its early run, although releases became more consistent in the 2020s. Rick, Morty, Summer, Beth, and Jerry returned for more multiverse adventures, and the show has been releasing new episodes more regularly since then.
