While Rick and Morty was on break, the actual world has gone almost as crazy as the surreal world of the adult swim animation show. If only someone had a Meeseeks in our world, and could ask the little request-fulfilling blue guys to cure the coronavirus . But it always helps to have something to look out for in hard times, and at least we can count the days on a calendar (remember calendars? That big empty thing that was full ?) To Rick and Morty returns on Sunday, May 3. This is what you need to know.
When and where to look?
Rick and Morty return to Cartoon Network's Adult Swim PT on May 3 at 1
1:30 PM. Call this a mid-season break: Five episodes of Season 4 have already aired, with five more unseen shows.
Rick & # 39; s also busy eating Arby & # 39; s in his hoverchair to help Morty.

What We Know About the New Episodes
The show's official Twitter account revealed the episode titles. The return on May 3 is titled Never Ricking Morty; the May 10 episode is Promortyus; the May 17 episode is The Vat of Acid Episode (gee, wonder what that is about?); the show on May 24 is Childrick of Mort; and the May 31 season finale is called Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri.
Fans can read anything they want in the titles, but Promortyus somehow certainly looks like an alien tribute, with the title nodding to the 2012 movie Prometheus. And oh yes, that season finale looks like a show with a Star Wars theme. Neither surprise. The show released a trailer for the second half of Season 5 featuring numerous face-hugging aliens and Morty's sister Summer in a lightsaber fight.
And on March 28, the show released a five-plus-minute short film, Samurai & Shogun . It is inspired by a classic manga called Lone Wolf and Cub, which also inspired the Bob & # 39; s Burgers episode Hawk and Chick, as well as the second episode of the Disney Plus show The Mandalorian.
Correction April 21: Adult Swim's parent channel is the Cartoon Network.
