What is the Rick and Morty Season 6 release date? The last episode of Rick and Morty Season 5 aired in September 2021 and set up an exciting and promising new future for the show, with many of the trappings of previous seasons such as the Citadel being completely destroyed. So when will the next season actually kick off? Here’s everything that’s known so far about the Rick and Morty Season 6 start date and how to watch it.
What is the Rick and Morty Season 6 release date?
Rick and Morty Season 6 could release as soon as fall 2022, so around September or October time.
While previous seasons have been incredibly sporadic in their releases, sometimes with years between them, back in 2018 Adult Swim signed a deal for 70 more episodes of Rick and Morty. This means that multiple seasons are definitely on their way and the showrunners don’t have to wait for any approval to start. This should hopefully mean that Rick and Morty will settle into a more yearly schedule now.
How to watch Rick and Morty Season 6
Rick and Morty Season 6 will be available to watch on Adult Swim when it airs and HBO Max to stream.
In the US, Rick and Morty will not be available on any other streaming services such as Disney Plus, Amazon Prime, or Netflix. Outside the US it’s a different story as HBO Max is not available in all territories, so Rick and Morty may be available on different streaming services — in the UK, for example, it is available on Netflix.
As for what Rick and Morty Season 6 could entail, the finale of Season 5 removed the possibility of Rick and Morty being on every Earth, destroyed the Citadel and pretty much every alternate Rick and Morty there, and tainted Rick’s portal-gun. With Evil Morty still being out there, it looks like Season 6 could lean into the show’s canon even more — although, as fans have learned, with Rick and Morty it’s impossible to predict anything.
