Rick and Morty fans were treated to the news that the show’s fourth season would be returning next month but that news was slightly bittersweet because we also found out that the new season will only be five episodes long. Is that all?!
Adult Swim shared the trailer along with the disclaimer about the unusually short season but fans were left wondering if we'll be treated to more episodes after Christmas. After all, the other seasons had 11 episodes and this will be less than half so it would make sense to give us a few then hit us with more after a short hiatus. Or is this just wishful thinking?!
Apparently though, five episodes is all Adult Swim could handle for now. As per the trailer: ‘Half the season you deserve, all the season we could handle.’ I mean it's probably not an easy season to write so I guess we should be grateful.
Here's the trailer:
Let's just hope that the episodes are worth the wait. The fourth season of
Rick and Morty will be available to watch from Sunday, November 10th.
