Adult Swim Confirms May 2027 Release Window for ‘Rick and Morty’ Season 10

Posted on by

Following the conclusion of Season 9 in July 2026, showrunner Scott Marder and co-creator Dan Harmon have officially locked in the target release timeline for the 10th season of Rick and Morty. The hit animated sci-fi comedy is scheduled to return in May 2027, solidifying an annual release model for the long-running series that will also include the 100th episode.

A New Era of Consistency

Historically infamous for long and unpredictable multi-year gaps between seasons, Adult Swim’s flagship animated show has transitioned into a predictable broadcast rhythm.

Season 8 and Season 9 both adopted a late-spring rollout, airing weekly 10-episode runs from May through July in 2025 and 2026, respectively. Marder confirmed that Season 10 will follow the exact same template, running straight through its summer slate without mid-season hiatuses.

“Season 10 is going to come out at the same time; it’s going to run all the way through.”

While specific plot details for Season 10 remain tightly under wraps, production is currently underway alongside development on parallel franchise projects, including the spin-off series President Curtis and an upcoming Rick and Morty feature film.
