Following from brief return of ‘Rick and Morty‘ late last year, the remaining 5 episodes of Season 4 will land on E4 in the UK this May the broadcaster has announced. Earlier this morning, Adult Swim revealed the midseason return of the series during the US network’s annual April Fools’ stunt, treating fans to a new trailer too.
Created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, the hilarious animation follows the adventures of alcoholic mad scientist Rick and his kind-hearted but easily distressed grandson, Morty, as they head across the universe and parallel dimensions, saving the world (or not), on various misadventures. The series was renewed in May 2018 for a staggering 70 episode run!
‘Rick and Morty’ airs on E4 following the partnership deal Channel 4 made in January 2019 with Adult Swim to air their catalogue across Channel 4, E4 and All4. That also included shows such as ‘Robot Chicken’, ‘The Venture Bros’, ‘Aqua Teen Hunger Force’, and ‘The Eric Andre Show’.
‘Rick and Morty‘ Season 4 premieres May 2020 on E4 in the UK (exact day/time TBC). In the US, the remaining 5 episodes of Season 4 premiere Sunday, May 3rd, 2020 on Adult Swim, so it will obviously be some point after that in the UK. We’ll let you know when we have an exact date.
