Rick and Morty will return real soon
Rick and Morty season 5 is set to return very soon and it'll be worth the wait.
For the first time in the show's history, Rick and Morty will be delivering a one-hour episode straight into our eyeholes.

Fans will remember the months-long break last season and can now rest easy that it's not happening on such a scale again.
So get ready to get schwifty: here's when you can watch the new Rick and Morty season 5 episode, as well as a look at what's come before.
