Easter is just around the corner, so let us be the first to wish all of you a happy wubba and a peaceful lubba dub dub. Okay, sure, that doesn’t make any sense. But it will after you watch Adult Swim’s new teaser trailer for Rick and Morty‘s upcoming season eight. This new look at Rick and Morty‘s new season features our favorite infinite-universe hopping duo on a particularly bizarre Easter egg hunt. And things only get weirder when they’re interrupted by Space Christians.
This new clip from Rick and Morty season eight opens with a German Easter….uh….what would you call this? A….celebration? Ritual? Or…you know what? The less said about it, the better. What happens next is more important anyway. We then see an intergalactic encounter of confusing religious affiliations.
Why is Rick looking for a crystal Easter egg in this Rick and Morty season eight teaser trailer? Why was it made on Andromeda and not Earth? And why would people from another planet follow a messiah from this planet? Anyone even trying to guess has clearly never watched Rick and Morty.
That’s also why they can’t appreciate the absurd genius of Adult Swim’s other new video promoting the show. The network celebrated April Fool’s Day with a staged, live-action version of Rick and Morty‘s opening credits. It’s absolutely ridiculous in how involved it is. We love everything about it, but we definitely have a favorite part here. We won’t spoil what that is until you get to watch it yourself.
Yeah, obviously it was live-action Mr. Nimbus. Obviously.
As for what the new animated opening introduction will look like this time, we’ll find out soon enough. Rick and Morty season eight premieres on May 25, 2025, at 11 pm on Adult Swim.
With Rick and Morty so close to returning we fully expect to see a full season eight trailer very soon. Will it help explain the existence of Space Christians? Probably not, but we wish them a happy wubba and a peaceful lubba dub dub all the same.
