Production

Development

The season is a part of a long-term deal between show creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon and Adult Swim, confirming 70 new episodes would be released over an unspecified amount of seasons. Ten of those episodes were aired as season four, and ten more were aired as season five, leaving fifty episodes remaining. In February 2020, Roiland announced that the sixth season of Rick and Morty was underway.[15]

Casting

Along with the season's announcement, regulars Justin Roiland, Chris Parnell, Spencer Grammer, and Sarah Chalke were confirmed to return as the Smith family. The second episode of the season, "Rick: A Mort Well Lived", featured Peter Dinklage as a guest star.

Writing

Writing for the series continued over Zoom during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Dan Harmon said that production was "pretty far along" by November 2020.[16] In March 2021, Harmon confirmed that they were "very late" in the writing process.[17]

Roiland's dismissal

On January 24, 2023, amid felony charges against Justin Roiland,[18] it was announced that Adult Swim had cut ties with Roiland and that he was fired from the show. This makes the final season where Roiland does any work on the show, including voicing both Rick and Morty.[19]

Release

The season premiered on September 4, 2022 on Adult Swim.[20] It was released on March 28, 2023 in DVD and standard Blu-ray formats, as well as a SteelBook Blu-ray form.[21][22]

Reception

On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, season 6 has a 91% score based on 62 reviews, with an average rating of 7.5/10. The site's critic consensus reads, "Bookended by some memorable serialized developments, Rick and Morty's sixth season has a lot of fun in between as it explores whether the universe's most toxic genius can actually grow as a person."[23] On Metacritic, the season has a score of 86 out of 100, based on four reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[24] The season was nominated at the Artios Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Casting – Animated Series.[25]
