Longtime Rick and Morty fans will surely recall that the show’s release schedule hasn’t always been consistent.
The successful Adult Swim animated series underwent a lengthy hiatus between seasons 3 and 4 as the show’s producers negotiated a new contract with the network. When season 4 arrived, it was split up into two five-episode halves with a big break in-between then. Rick and Morty season 5, however, has been the model of consistency. Arriving a little over a year after season 4, this season has run through eight uninterrupted episodes since it first premiered on June 20.
Unfortunately, the show’s streak of uninterrupted episodes has now come to an end. Adult Swim has announced that the Rick and Morty season 5 finale will feature two-parts. While that’s certainly welcome news, those final two episodes won’t be coming for a few more weeks.
The two-part Rick and Morty season 5 finale will premiere Sunday, September 5 on Adult Swim at 11 p.m. It will air on Channel 4 in the U.K. on September 5 at 10 p.m. GMT. In announcing the news, Adult Swim also released a brief teaser for the final two episodes. Check it out below:
