Ahead of the show's return, Rick and Morty season 6's updated opening is already available for fans of the Adult Swim series to watch. The adult animated series has gained a cult following since its start in 2013 and has led to multiple spin-offs, the first of which, The Vindicators 2, released earlier this year. Rick and Morty season 6 will premiere September 4 on Adult Swim, with the showrunners promising this season will have more continuity and canon.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Wormageddon, a worldwide attack of giant alien worms on earth, has been used in clips and promos to tease Rick and Morty season 6, with the Smith family teaming up with old allies like Mr. Nimbus and Squanchy. A real-life scavenger hunt has created further excitement for Rick and Morty season 6, with viewers having to work together online to figure out the locations of Wormageddon statues around the world.
Rick and Morty showrunners have recently said a new season will be released every year moving forward, which makes sense as to why season 6 seems to be more planned out and has better promotion. With the show likely having at least five more seasons, thanks to its 70-episode renewal order, five consecutive years of Rick and Morty seasons is a lofty goal but exciting prospect for fans of the series.
With the promotions and early release of the Rick and Morty season 6 updated opening, many are sure to feel that it is taking a step in the right direction to hype up new seasons and get viewers involved in real life. Even though the new intro doesn’t reveal much new information, it does tease more collaboration between the Smith family and the continuity promised by showrunners.
