Season 9 is all certified bangers. No AI slop! Just Grade A organic slop, made by real humans with real human traits like back hair and cysts. Please watch, or we\u2019ll have neglected our families for nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know it\u2019s my job to say that this show just keeps topping itself, but it also has the benefit of being true,\u201d said Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of scary what this show unit is doing season over season\u2014just pouring an absurd amount of talent and brilliance into these episodes. From the first frame, you\u2019re going to see great high\u2011concept insanity with some of the best character writing ever done. Again, it\u2019s my job to say that, but it\u2019s also true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRick and Morty\u201d stars Ian Cardoni, Harry Belden, Sarah Chalke, Chris Parnell and Spencer Grammer. The show is executive produced by Dan Harmon and Scott Marder, who also serves as showrunner. The series has won two Emmy awards for outstanding animated program.<\/p>\n<p>The ninth season of \u201cRick and Morty\u201d will be available in over 170 countries in 42 languages. In the U.S., new episodes will be available for purchase from digital retailers the day after premiere on Adult Swim.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRick and Morty\u201d Season 9 will be available to stream in the U.S. beginning August 31.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tCheck out the first look images for \u201cRick and Morty\u201d Season 9
