Adult Swim Sets May 24 Premiere as Rick and Morty Season 9 Trailer Drops

The rollout leans into a “No AI slop” pledge that signals a push for human-made episodes over AI gimmicks.

Overview

  • The series unveiled its first full Season 9 trailer Tuesday, confirming a May 24 premiere on Adult Swim with 10 episodes airing weekly at 11 p.m. ET/PT.
  • Adult Swim said new episodes will be sold for digital purchase in the U.S. shortly after they air, with the full season set to stream starting August 31.
  • The official synopsis touts “No AI slop,” a jab at recent AI-made fan videos and a clear promise that writers and artists created the new episodes.
  • Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden continue as the voices of Rick and Morty after Justin Roiland’s 2023 exit, with Sarah Chalke, Chris Parnell, and Spencer Grammer returning.
  • The trailer teases high-energy, mostly standalone adventures backed by Billy Idol’s Rebel Yell, with glimpses of sentient furniture, kung-fu showdowns, and Space Beth, as the franchise stays renewed through Season 12 and develops the President Curtis spin-off.
