"Rick and Morty" is an American adult animated science fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, originally aired on Cartoon Network's late-night Adult Swim block. The series centers on the chaotic adventures of cynical, eccentric scientist Rick Sanchez and his kind-hearted yet anxious grandson Morty Smith. Their escapades often oscillate between mundane domestic life and extraordinary interdimensional journeys. Roiland provides voices for the titular characters, while Chris Parnell, Spencer Grammer, and Sarah Chalke voice the other members of the Smith family. The show was born from an animated parody short of *Back to the Future*, created by Roiland for Channel 101—a short film festival co-founded by Harmon. Critics have praised "Rick and Morty" for its originality, inventive humor, and creative storytelling. The fourth season premiered on November 10, 2019, featuring ten episodes. A fifth season was announced in July 2020, following a long-term contract signed in May 2018 that committed to producing 70 new episodes over multiple seasons. The narrative primarily follows the members of the Smith household—parents Jerry and Beth, their children Summer and Morty, and Beth's father Rick Sanchez, who lives with them as a guest. According to Roiland, the family resides outside Seattle, Washington. However, the adventures of Rick and Morty span an infinite multiverse, with characters traveling across planets and dimensions via portals and Rick’s flying car. Rick is portrayed as a brilliant yet eccentric and alcoholic scientist who dismisses societal norms such as education, marriage, and conventional family life. His frequent companion is Morty, a 14-year-old with a kind heart and a naive moral outlook that contrasts with Rick’s manipulative and self-centered ego. Summer, Morty’s 17-year-old sister, is a typical teenage girl concerned with social status and often joins Rick and Morty on their exploits. Beth is a pragmatic and assertive figure who manages her career as a horse surgeon but feels dissatisfaction with her marriage to Jerry—a simple-minded and insecure man who disapproves of Rick’s influence over the family.
