Rick and Morty season 6 is back on our interdimensional cable channels very soon. Adult Swim has announced that the hit animated show, created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, will return on September 4.

"It’s hard to overstate the impact of Rick and Morty. More than a hit show, it is truly a global phenomenon," Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen said in a statement (via Deadline). "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."

There could be a pretty brisk turnaround for future seasons, too. With another 50 episodes remaining of its 70-episode order by Adult Swim looming large, writer Cody Ziglar tweeted out last year that writing had already wrapped on a seventh season of the show. We’ve come a long way from the nerve-jangling gap that bisected Rick and Morty’s fourth season and left its future up in the air.
