After getting five anime shorts between 2020 and 2021, a proper Rick and Morty: The Anime series is finally coming later this year, and it recently got a proper first look.
Yes, you read that right, there’s an upcoming Rick and Morty series from Japan, and it’s not even the first one. Previously, five anime shorts were released between 2020 and 2021 by Studio Dee, Sola Entertainment, and Telecom Animation Film.
This time, a proper 10-episode anime was ordered, and it is being produced by Telecom Animation Film. This studio is also known for working on shows like Tower of God, Four Knights of the Apocalypse, and Don’t Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro Season 1.
To give you a better idea of what to expect, you can check out the first look at the show here:
While this preview focuses mainly on Morty, Adult Swim already released various previews for the series over the past year. These sneak peeks put the spotlight on Rick, Beth, and Summer.

Rick & Morty are no stranger to unexpected projects. After all, the popular animated series did promote games like God of War Ragnarok before. But a full anime adaptation is quite surprising. From the previews though, the anime should be a must-watch for fans of the franchise, especially as they promise to deliver a unique take on the hit sci-fi black comedy show.
For now, there’s no word yet on when the Rick and Morty: The Anime will be released, but it’s confirmed to come out in 2024 on Adult Swim and Max.
