Rick and Morty Releases Season 6 Opening Scene: Watch

Rick and Morty has finally come back to Adult Swim with the highly anticipated Season 6 of the series, and now fans can check out how it all began as Adult Swim has dropped the opening scene from the episode online! The end of the fifth season of the series brought the promise of some significant changes coming for the series in the future with the destruction of the Citadel and portal fluid. Leading into the premiere, there was a question as to whether or not the series would pick up from this idea or blow right past like Rick and Morty has done in previous season premieres.   

Rick and Morty’s Season 6 premiere episode, “Solaricks,” indeed picks up immediately after the events of the fifth season finale, “Rickmurai Jack.” As the opening scene below reveals, the two of them are still stuck within the floating piece of the Citadel that had broken off following Evil Morty’s escape from the Central Finite Curve. Without working portals the two of them were left stranded without any hope of escape, and it made for quite a bleak opening until its final stinger that you’ll need to see play out. Check out the opening for “Solaricks” below: 

Rick and Morty’s Season 6 premiere was stacked to the brim with a lot more reveals and additions to the overall series lore than fans expected to see going in. Without going into too much detail for fans who might not have been able to check it out yet, the premiere decided to completely connect itself with that previous finale as it explored much of the fallout from the events of the fifth season and years previous too. It was full of tantalizing teases for what’s to come in the rest of the season too, so there’s quite a lot to be excited for what’s coming next. 

If you wanted to catch up with the series, the first five seasons of Rick and Morty are now streaming on HBO Max and Hulu. The sixth season’s premiere can currently be found on Adult Swim’s official website, and it will likely air on TV in the coming weeks as the new season rolls along. It’s got the story fans have been waiting to see kick off, so how did you like Rick and Morty’s big return for Season 6? Let us know all of your thoughts about it in the comments!
