Adult Swim teased the upcoming and very anticipated Season 5 of the very popular ‘Rick & Morty’ on their streaming AdultSwimCon this weekend and IGN broke down the animatic teaser with unfinished animation. It features an entire scene with the always emotionally-repressed Morty getting a date with his unrequited Jessica while at the same time crashing through the Eath’s atmosphere. It’s one of the scenes that define the show’s ability to balance the bizarre sci-fi elements with dark humor and a sincere heart.
There is no premiere date for the next season just yet, but it’s noted here that the writing team behind the show lead by Dan Harmon is closing out the Season 5 finale and looking ahead to Season 6.
