Ahead of its September 4th release date, Adult Swim has premiered the very first (proper) Rick And Morty season 6 trailer. None of this teaser bullshit mostly comprised of recycled footage.
The promo previewed earlier this week featured a quick recap of the "weird" and divisive fifth season, including the cliffhanger finale in which Rick and Morty escape from the Citadel right before it's destroyed by a black hole - Central Finite Curve included, rendering Rick no longer the "smartest man in the universe" - as well as the moment Evil Morty/President Morty disappears into a yellow portal.

"A lot has happened in the past few years," declares a voiceover.
"Long story short, the universe as we all know it has ended -- but don't let that get you down."
"Oh my god, stop explaining... Stop explaining!" a visibly exhausted Morty with bulging red eyes yells towards a literal spoiler.
"Are you finished?!" adds a frustrated Rick.
The Rick And Morty season 6 trailer released overnight, however, is packed with never-before-seen scenarios. Sorta. While all this is certainly in the context of all-new storylines, from yet another run at Roy: A Life Well Lived to the return of Evil Beth, the series appears to be revisiting its past.
“I will say that it’s a bit more canonical. It really rewards fans of the show that have been watching up to this point,” Co-Creator Justin Roiland said of Rick And Morty season 6.
“I think we’re kind of finally back into the rhythm of Rick And Morty, and I think season 6 is… I didn’t particularly think season 5 was bad, but season 6 is fucking amazing. It really is a fucking quality season.”
“It’s hard to overstate the impact of Rick And Morty. More than a hit show, it is truly a global phenomenon,” stated Michael Ouweleen, President of Adult Swim & Cartoon Network.
“As we prepare to launch this soon-to-be iconic season, we will be giving fans a unique way to be part of the fun — so keep your eyes peeled.”

Rick And Morty season 6 will hail the (vocal) return of Roiland himself as the titular Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith, Mr Poopybutthole, etc.; Sarah Chalke as Beth Smith; Chris Parnell as Jerry Smith; plus Spencer Grammer as Summer Smith.
While the Rick And Morty season 6 release date has been locked in for September 4th of 2022 (US), it’s unclear how much of a delay we'll experience here in the southern hemisphere before the brand new episodes hit Netflix Australia — stay tuned for key updates, check out the full-length trailer above, and read the official synopsis below.
It’s season six and Rick & 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 favourite show.
