Rick and Morty is coming our way with a new spin-off anime later this year, and Warner Bros. Discovery has revealed the first concrete story details about what to expect! Rick and Morty Season 8 might not be hitting Adult Swim until some time in 2025, but thankfully we'll still be getting a new entry of the franchise with a new anime focused side of the multiverse. Rick and Morty: The Anime is now in the works for a release with Adult Swim and Max later this year, and fans have been especially curious to see what could be coming our way in this new take on the animated favorite. 

During Warner Bros. Discovery's upfront presentation revealing their new slate of projects, they shared a press release offering a new update on the Rick and Morty anime. It's here that we got the first story synopsis that reads as such, "In Rick and Morty: The Anime, a new series from the world of "Rick and Morty," Rick relaxes in a pseudo-world between multiverses, Summer helps Space Beth fight the evil Galactic Federation, and Morty falls in love with a mysterious girl who happens to be an atemporal being."
