Just in time for the new year, Adult Swim has unveiled the first clip from the eagerly anticipated new Rick and Morty: The Anime series. The new take on Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon’s Emmy-winning show was created and developed by Takashi Sano and produced by Studio Deen, Sola Entertainment and Telecom Animation (Lupin the IIIrd) for Adult Swim. Yohei Tadano and Keisuke Chiba reprise their roles as Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith from the Japanese dub of the original show. Sano is directing the 10-episode series, which will arrive on Adult Swim and Max in 2024.
The original pilot anime shorts were released from March 2020 to October 2021. The show puts an anime spin on adventures of the Smith family, especially mad scientist and samurai Rick Sanchez and his grandchildren, 14-year-old Morty and the 17-year-old Summer, whose parents Jerry and Beth, disapprove of their adventures. Different versions of the characters live in the many parallel dimensions of the show’s multiverse.
