The Countdown Begins as Global Rick and Morty Day Blasts the Multiverse

Fans around the world will celebrate the new 5th season with a premiere in outerspace, personalised avatars, a curated experience on HBO GO and more

Manila, June 17, 2021 – An out-of-this-world celebration of Global Rick and Morty Day (#GlobalRickAndMortyDay) is coming to fans in time for the Philippines’ premiere of the new 5th season on Monday, June 21. The mind-bending event will feature special surprises, fun moments and celebrations.
For the first time ever, Adult Swim will premiere the first episode from space by launching Rick’s Space Cruiser 150,000ft (45,720m) into the atmosphere. Fans from around the world can Go Rick Yourself (#GoRickYourself) and become part of the series by creating a personalized Rick and Morty avatar to commemorate the new season.

Filipino Fans can also catch up on all things Rick and Morty prior to the event by checking out HBO GO’s curated Rick and Morty fan viewing experience featuring family-themed episodes from previous seasons available Monday, June 14. 

Rick and Morty is the multi-Emmy® Award winning half-hour comedy series. The half-hour animated hit from WarnerMedia’s Adult Swim brand follows a sociopathic genius scientist who drags his inherently timid grandson on insanely dangerous adventures across the universe. 
Rick Sanchez is living with his daughter Beth’s family and constantly bringing her, his son-in-law Jerry, granddaughter Summer, and grandson Morty into intergalactic escapades.  Rick and Morty was the #1 comedy across all of television in 2017 and 2019 and has become a multi-platform sensation not just on television, but across digital, gaming, live streaming, retail and fan experiences.
