Rick and Morty are coming back a full year after the show went on an intergalactic vacation that unravelled the series’ universe, as Adult Swim announced the family duo will be coming back this September 4 in its accustomed time slot.

That theory could find some backing in the words of Adult Swim and Cartoon Network president Michael Ouweleen who referred to this new chapter as a “soon-to-be iconic season” that “will be giving fans a unique way to be part of the fun,” perhaps suggesting Rick and Morty is about to change in more ways than one.
