Rick and Morty fans will be introduced to a spookily special new short featuring a fresh look for the multiverse this weekend. Premiering on 30 October 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), this trippy horror short unleashes an unexpected guest at 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 six 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?
Rick and Morty stars Justin Roiland (Solar Opposites), Sarah Chalke (Scrubs), Chris Parnell (Saturday Night Live) and Spencer Grammer (Greek). The series is created by Dan Harmon (Community) and Roiland, who also serve as executive producers.
The number one comedy across all U.S. cable in 2017, 2019 and 2021, since launch Rick and Morty has ranked as one of the top series for HBO Max, both domestically and globally. Lifetime to date, the half-hour series has been viewed over 10 billion times globally, across linear, digital and streaming.
