Rick and Morty: The Anime First Look SDCC 2024 Panel Announced

Rick and Morty: The Anime will be making its highly anticipated premiere later this year, and Adult Swim has some big plans to show it off during San Diego Comic-Con 2024 this year! Rick and Morty Season 8 might not be coming our way until some time next year, but thankfully we’re still going to get new entries in the franchise with the release of its full anime spin-off series. Telling a whole new kind of story not seen in the original animated series, there are still many questions about what to expect from this major makeover for the Adult Swim hit. 

Adult Swim has been steadily revealing clips and smaller promotional materials through the year, but during San Diego Comic-Con they’ll be showcasing the best look at the now in the works series yet. Adult Swim has revealed their panel plans for the year, and announced the upcoming “Adult Swim’s “Rick And Morty: The Anime” Series First Look” panel taking place on Friday, July 26th at 12PM local time during the convention for fans in attendance with promises of new details with writer/director Takeshi Sano, producers Joseph Chou and Takenari Maeda, and Adult Swim’s head of action and anime Jason DeMarco on hand to dish.
