Adult Swim Touts “Rick and Morty” Day Celebrations Ahead Of Show’s Fifth Season Premiere

The fifth season of Rick and Morty is almost here and Adult Swim is bringing the party favors.

 The premiere will feature special surprises, fun moments and celebrations, as the mind-bending event kicks off the global premieres of Rick and Morty’s highly anticipated fifth season. For the first time ever, Adult Swim will premiere the first episode from space by launching Rick’s Space Cruiser 150,000 ft into the atmosphere. Fans from around the world can Go Rick Yourself (GoRickYourself.com) and become part of the series by creating a personalized Rick and Morty avatar, and then create custom t-shirts (US and Mexico only) to commemorate the new season.

An out-of-this-world celebration of Global Rick and Morty Day (#GlobalRickAndMortyDay) is coming to fans Sunday, June 20.

The upcoming season will see Rick take on his arch nemesis Mr. Nimbus which is saying a LOT given that Birdperson is also set to return in come capacity. For Morty, Dan Harmon has revealed that the little bugger will be introduced to a new love interest who is NOT Jessica (Kari Wahlgren/also slated to return) while his Dad’s relationship with his uncle goes deeper and his mom begins a cordial relationship with her clone Space Beth.
