Rick and Morty is getting ready for its Season 6 return later this Fall, and Adult Swim is hyping something mysterious known as “Wormageddon” with an ominous new teaser trailer! Fans have been eager to see more of the in the works sixth season ever since it was confirmed to be coming our way later this year, but there’s been very little shown in terms of what to actually expect from the new episodes. With the new season confirmed to be coming our way next month, it seems like Adult Swim is ramping up the promotional materials in anticipation of the new episodes in an unexpected way.
Although Rick and Morty Season 6 won’t be hitting until September, Adult Swim has dropped an ominous teaser and website for “Rick and Morty: Wormageddon.” There’s a countdown clock that will be ending later this August, and the first teaser for this mysterious new project is teasing a “secret” in the citadel lingering after the events of the fifth season. It’s currently hard to tell whether or not this will actually tie into the events of the new season itself (or whether it will be some kind of tie in event or game) but it’s certainly something to keep an eye on:ย

Rick and Mortyย Season 6 premieres on Adult Swimย on Sunday, September 4th at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT. As for what to expect from the new season, Adult Swim teases Season 6 as such, “It’s season six and Rick and Morty are back! Pick up 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?! Piss! Family! Intrigue! A bunch of dinosaurs! More piss! Another can’t miss season of your favorite show.”
If you wanted to catch up with the series before the new season hits (as it seems like it will be picking up with the previous season’s canon), the first five seasons ofย Rick and Mortyย are now streaming with HBO Max and Hulu. If you still want to see more after that, there are a few special anime episodes that are only available to check out on Adult Swim’s official YouTube channel (there’s also a new anime in the works). They break down as such:
- Samurai & Shogun
- Rick and Morty vs. Genocider
- Rick + Morty in the Eternal Nightmare Machine
- Summer Meets God (Rick Meets Evil)ย
- The Great Yokai Battle of Akihabara
- Samurai & Shogun Part 2
