Given this unexpected hiatus, fans are now worried that the show will be canceled after Season 6. However, the show’s future isn’t in jeopardy. The show’s producers Scott Marder and James Siciliano confirmed that they are currently working on two additional seasons of Rick And Morty. These two seasons will have a total of 20 episodes. Season 6 started airing on September 4, 2022, and has currently aired six episodes.
When Does Rick And Morty Claymation Release Globally?
The latest season trails the characters down on their luck and is completely worn out. They are bouncing back for more adventures or getting swept by unpredictability. Rick And Morty premiered in 2013 and features co-creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon. For the global audience, the Summer Sleepover claymation will debut on HBO Max on October 31. Fans can also check it out on Adult Swim’s YouTube channel. Season 6 is slated to return at 11 p.m. ET on November 20, 2022.
