As Rick and Morty continues broadcasting its 9th Season, another Adult Swim show has also made it to the streaming charts. However, this title did not perform well since its release, receiving poor reviews from fans and critics alike. Despite the poor reception, it made a streaming comeback.
Rick and Morty is a science fiction adult animation comedy that follows Rick Sanchez (Ian Cardoni) and Morty Smith (Harry Belden) as they embark on sci-fi adventures across the multiverse. Following its success, Adult Swim has announced spin-offs for the popular TV show, one of which is currently in the works, while the other has already been released, but was seen as an “incoherent disaster”.
The show in question is Rick and Morty: The Anime, a 2024 anime spin-off of Rick and Morty, that follows a different variant of the characters, voiced by Joe Daniels and Gabriel Regojo in the English dub. While it is a spin-off, it does require knowledge of the first six seasons of the main show. While the regular Rick and Morty TV series dominates the HBO spot, placed at #2, Rick and Morty: The Anime has reemerged on the streaming charts, sitting at #9 on HBO Max’s Top TV Shows worldwide earlier this week, between Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and The Other Bennet Sister. Since its release, Rick and Morty: The Anime received poor reviews, earning a 50% critics score and an 18% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
What’s Next for the ‘Rick and Morty’ franchise?
Rick and Morty: The Anime isn’t the only Rick and Morty spin-off that Adult Swim approved. In 2025, it was announced that a spin-off, simply called President Curtis, had been greenlit. Keith David will be reprising the role of the fictional sci-fi president, and also joining the cast is Stephanie Beatriz (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) and Jim Rash. Back in May, Adult Swim released a teaser for the upcoming spin-off, with Rick and Morty hinting that President Curtis would be like X-Files mixed with National Treasure. A full plot has yet to be revealed, and it’s currently unknown how many episodes there will be. The show is scheduled to come out in July 2026. Additionally, Adult Swim has confirmed that Rick and Morty will continue beyond Season 9, having renewed the series through Season 12.
Rick and Morty: The Anime, as well as Rick and Morty, is available to stream on HBO Max. Follow Collider for more updates.
