Rick and Morty fans have something to look forward to—Season 5 will be debuting on June 20.

In addition to announcing the series would return this summer, the network declared June 20 Rick and Morty Day and they released an official trailer for the upcoming season.

Rick and Morty Day will kick off with the premiere of the new season and will feature sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes footage, and special surprises across TV, digital, and social media.

The show, created by stars Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, who also serve as executive producers, follows sociopathic genius scientist Rick Sanchez (Justin Roiland) and his shy grandson, Morty (Roiland) on dangerous adventures. They live with Rick’s daughter Beth (Sarah Chalke), who is often roped into his adventures, his son-in-law Jerry (Chris Parnell), and his granddaughter Summer (Spencer Grammer).

Rick and Morty was given a 70-episode renewal in 2018 by Adult Swim, which brings its total to over 100 episodes.

The show has been super popular and it’s gone on to be nominated for three Emmys, winning the award for Best Animated Series in 2018 and 2020.
