Rick and Morty season 4 gets a trailer and release date!
By Cory Thone
Aw jeez! The trailer for Rick and Morty season 4 has finally dropped. The long-awaited next season looks to be full of more zany sci-fi shenanigans, plus an all-important follow-up with Professor Poopybutthole.
However, the trailer also reveals that only half of the fourth season will air in 2019, starting on Sunday, November 10. Then it’s breaking for the holidays and probably returning in early 2020. Fans have waited a long time for new Rick and Morty, so what’s a few more months?
Check out the trailer below!
Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland’s series left off in October of 2017 with “The Rickchurian Mortydate”, with Rick engaging in a donnybrook with the President of the United States and Beth coming to terms with her identity and existence and rekindling her relationship with Jerry, something Rick had intentionally destroyed. Not even the smartest man in the known universe could stop Beth and Jerry from reuniting, as we’ve seen in alternate universes as well.
The new trailer makes it look like the show has moved on from the Rick/Jerry patriarchal power struggle and is pushing back into action-heavy sci-fi capers. There’s no mention of a return for Evil Morty, who is now the democratically-elected President of the the Citadel. But with the earlier announcement that Rick and Morty was renewed for a 70-episode order, that storyline will have to come to a head eventually.

Earlier this year, Adult Swim uploaded a short teaser for the season, which features one of my favorite Rick and Morty reoccurring moments: Morty Yelling at his Family.
While it is definitely a bummer that there will apparently be only five episodes in 2019, as long as we’re getting new episodes, most fans will be fine. We don’t care how long we have to wait! Even if it takes 97 more years!
Also, as long as we’re talking about sci-fi shows returning for their fourth seasons, check out the new trailer for Amazon’s The Expanse:
