Wubba Lubba Dub Dub: Adult Swim Drops Explosive ‘Rick and Morty’ Season 9 Trailer

Posted on by

The countdown to the return of Adult Swim’s crown jewel is officially on. Following a recent trailer that promised a return to “Grade A organic slop,” Adult Swim has revealed the official episode titles for Rick and Morty Season 9 in the trailer above.

As is tradition, the titles are a masterclass in pop-culture wordplay, riffing on everything from David Lynch to 90s rom-coms. Here is the full list of titles for the upcoming 10-episode season, which premieres May 24, 2026:

The Season 9 Episode Guide

  • “There’s Something About Morty”

  • “Ricks Days, Seven Nights”

  • “Rick Fu Hustle”

  • “A Ricker Runs Through It”

  • “Jer Bud”

  • “Erickerhead”

  • “Mortgully: The Last Rickforest”

  • “Rickuiem Mort A Dream”

  • “Salute Your Morts”

  • “Field of Dreams” (Season Finale)

A Multiverse Divided

While the titles suggest a season leaning back into the show’s parodic roots, the atmosphere surrounding the release remains complicated. Since the firing of co-creator and original voice lead Justin Roiland in 2023, the series has undergone a massive transition. Though the show successfully pivoted to new voice leads Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden, a vocal segment of the fanbase remains unconvinced.

Online discourse—from Reddit threads to X (formerly Twitter)—continues to be dominated by fans who argue that the series has lost its “original spark” and improvisational edge. For many, the show’s humor feels more calculated and less chaotic than the early seasons, leading to frequent calls from fans for Roiland’s return to the production. Despite the show being renewed through Season 12, the “Roiland Era” continues to cast a long shadow over the current creative team’s efforts to move forward.

High Stakes for Season 9

The upcoming season appears to be Adult Swim’s attempt to win back skeptical viewers. By parodying heavy-hitters like Eraserhead and Requiem for a Dream, the writers seem to be aiming for the dark, surrealist territory that defined the show’s peak popularity.

Showrunner Scott Marder has leaned into the controversy with a touch of wit, emphasizing that the new episodes are “human-made” and doubling down on the “organic” nature of the writing. Whether these clever titles and “organic slop” can bridge the gap with disgruntled fans remains to be seen.

Mark your calendars: Rick and Morty Season 9 kicks off Sunday, May 24, at 11:00 PM ET on Adult Swim.
