Rick and Morty Season 8, Lazarus & More: Adult Swim's NYCC 2024 Plans

Adult Swim's New York Comic Con 2024 plans include a preview of Rick and Morty Season 8 and Shinichirō Watanabe's Lazarus, and much more.

With New York Comic Con 2024 (NYCC 2024) set to hit the Northeast next month, Adult Swim has rolled out its plans—and we like what we're seeing. Want intel on the eighth season of Rick and Morty? Yup, you're going to get that. Fiending for an update on how things are looking with acclaimed anime director Shinichirō Watanabe's Lazarus? Yeah, you're getting that, too. Plus, a special screening will offer early looks at Women Wearing Shoulder Pads, Common Side Effects, and YOLO: Rainbow Trinity (along with a sneak preview) – and maybe a surprise or two along the way.

"We're packing a lot of peanuts in the candy bar of New York Comic Con this year, with some of the most iconic names in adult animation headlining our panels and a huge variety of genres that we've been up to," shared Michael Ouweleen, President of Adult Swim. "We always love connecting directly with fans, and for those that have peanut allergies, the candy bar thing was just a metaphor, don't worry." Now, here's a look at Adult Swim's plans for NYCC 2024 plans:
