Fans of Rick and Morty will be trick-or-treated to a spookily special new short featuring a new look for the multiverse this weekend. Premiering Sunday, October 30 at midnight on Adult Swim, “Summer’s Sleepover” will be available to stream the next day (Halloween) on HBO Max and Adult Swim’s YouTube channel.
Created by British claymation filmmaker Lee Hardcastle (The ABCs of Death; leehardcastle.com), this trippy horror short unleashes an unexpected guest on Summer’s sleepover party.
Emmy-winning animated comedy Rick and Morty follows a sociopathic genius scientist who drags his inherently timid grandson on insanely dangerous adventures across the universe. Rick Sanchez is living with his daughter Beth’s family and constantly bringing her, his son-in-law Jerry, granddaughter Summer, and grandson Morty into intergalactic escapades.
Season 6 picks up with Rick and Morty where we left them — worse for wear and down on their luck. Will they manage to bounce back for more adventures? Or will they get swept up in an ocean of piss! Who knows?! Piss! Family! Intrigue! A bunch of dinosaurs! More piss! Another can’t miss season of your favorite show.
