Rick and Morty is officially coming to out screens and will be airing on Channel 4 from February.

The cartoon cult favourite will be zipping onto the channel from the very beginning, before season four starts later this year.

Rick and Morty is currently available on Netflix, though the future of the show has remained in doubt.

Metro.co.uk has been told that the first three seasons of the cartoon will remain on Netflix, however series four will be exclusive to Channel 4 and its sister channel, E4.


This is the first time the show has become available on terrestrial television in the UK, having gathered a massive audience across the globe.



Ian Katz, Channel 4 Director of Programmes, said: ‘Rick and Morty is one of the most anarchic, ingenious and original shows around and the breakthrough animated hit of recent years. I’m thrilled that it’s coming to Channel 4 and E4.’

Even Kanye West has made it very well known he is a massive fan of the show, and is up for even appearing on the upcoming episodes.

The show creators announced last year that a staggering 70 more episodes have been given the green light – though it is currently unclear how many seasons that will be broken into.

Fans have been desperate for new adventures with the wacky grandfather and his terrified grandson for a while now, with a delay on the show coming down to coming down to ‘contract negotiations getting complicated.’
