Rick and Morty Season 8 Show Open Offers Nimbus, Tetris, Goats & More

With Season 8 set to hit Adult Swim beginning on Sunday, May 25th, here's a look at the new show open for Rick and Morty.

As we continue counting down the days until the May 25th return of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty for its eighth season, the Emmy Award-winning animated series has released a look at the season's new show open. What possible scenarios were we treated to this round? Rick and Morty are in a nasty fight, and we get a disturbing take on thumb wrestling. The Smiths go Tetris, Rick and Nimbus get sexy, and the family becomes goats. Of course, all, some, or none of those could end up showing up during Season 8 – though the key art poster does show Goat Beth, so that one might be happening.

Here's a look at the new show open for Season 8, followed by a look back at what else we've learned about the return of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty on May 25th:

Assuming that the order they were shown is also the running order for the season, here's a look back at the Season 8 episode titles that were released, followed by a look at the announcement trailer:

Adult Swim's Rick and Morty is back for Season Eight! Life has meaning again! Anything is possible! Look out for adventures with Summer, Jerry, Beth, and the other Beth. Maybe Butter Bot will get a new task? Whatever happens, you can't keep Rick and Morty down for long. People have tried!

In March, the fine folks over at Cartoon Network's late-night programming block and the Emmy Award-winning series offered fans a look at some very interesting artwork spotlighting character and background designs for the upcoming season. On the character front, we have a very interesting lineup: Constellatio Rick, Arcade Morty, Adult Summer, Homesteader Rick, Old Morty Jr., Boss Hog Rick, and a Trash Monster. In terms of background designs, you could spend an entire day picking over every detail in each image provided – and are we getting a return to what's left of the Citadel this season?!?

Rick and Morty Season 8: New York Comic Con 2024 Updates

What else did we learn about the Emmy Award-winning animated series during the NYCC 2024 panel? Beyond Season 8, Showrunner Scott Marder shared that the team was "almost done writing the first pass of Season 10." And as we previously reported, Rick and Morty will be back for Seasons 11 and 12. In terms of the panel itself, there were a number of interesting teases, previews, and updates. Spencer Grammer teased that we will be seeing a Summer-focused episode – and another new side to the character. Chris Parnell confirmed a Jerry-focused episode and teased that a holiday will be spotlighted that usually doesn't get a lot of attention. Ian Cardoni teased some new versions of Rick, while Sarah Chalke dropped that she got to play a third type of Beth in the second episode. Harry Belden and Cardoni then segued into an impromptu exchange between Rick and Morty as Morty tries to resist entering "The Vault of Spoilers" (nicely representing just how cautious everyone was about possibly even getting close to a spoiler.
