'''''Rick and Morty''''' is an American [[Adult animation|adult animated]] [[science fiction]] [[Animated sitcom|sitcom]] created by [[Justin Roiland]] and [[Dan Harmon]] for [[Cartoon Network]]'s nighttime programming block [[Adult Swim]]. The series follows the misadventures of [[Rick Sanchez]], a cynical [[mad scientist]], and his good-hearted but fretful grandson [[Morty Smith]], who split their time between domestic life and [[Interdimensional hypothesis|interdimensional]] adventures that take place across an infinite number of realities, often traveling to other planets and dimensions through portals and on Rick's [[flying saucer]]. The general concept of ''Rick and Morty'' relies on two conflicting scenarios: domestic family drama and a [[Misanthropy|misanthropic]] grandfather dragging his grandson into [[:wikt:high_jinks#Noun|hijinks]].

Roiland voiced both Rick and Morty, with [[Ian Cardoni]] and [[Harry Belden]] taking over from him since the seventh season. [[Chris Parnell]] as Jerry, [[Spencer Grammer]] as Summer and [[Sarah Chalke]] as Beth also star. The series originated from an animated [[Short film|short]] [[parody film]] of ''[[Back to the Future]]'' created by Roiland for [[Channel 101]], a short film festival Harmon co-founded. A [[Rick and Morty season 7|seventh season]] was confirmed as part of a long-term deal with Cartoon Network that ordered 70 new episodes, which renewed the series through to a tenth season. It was also announced that the series had been renewed through to a twelfth season in 2024. Adult Swim cut ties with Roiland in 2023 amid allegations of domestic abuse and recast his roles with soundalike actors in the seventh season which premiered on October 15, 2023. The eighth season premiered on May 25, 2025.

Since its debut, the series has received critical acclaim for its writing, originality, creativity, and humor. It has been nominated for three [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program|Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Program]] and won the award in 2018 and 2020. The series has also received two [[Annie Awards]]. At times, the series has been the most viewed television comedy for adults between 18 and 24. The popularity of ''Rick and Morty'' has made it a hundred-million dollar [[Rick and Morty (franchise)|merchandising and media franchise]].
