Channel 4 confirms January broadcast

Series four of Rick & Morty will air on Channel 4 in January, the broadcaster has announced.

The first five episodes launch in the US from Sunday, with a second run promised for some time in the future.

Created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, the series follows a sociopathic genius scientist who drags his inherently timid grandson on insanely dangerous adventures across the universe.  

Ian Katz, Channel 4’s director of programmes said: "Millions of fans have been waiting for more than two years for a new series of Rick and Morty, the most brilliantly bonkers show on television. We’re thrilled that it will be aired exclusively on Channel 4 and I promise it will be worth the wait.’

The titles of the episodes are Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat; The Old Man and the Seat; One Crew Over The Crewcoo's Morty; Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim's Morty and Rattlestar Ricklactica.

They will air on Channel 4, be repeated on E4, and available on demand via All 4.

The broadcast rights form part of a deal with Rick and Morty  production team Adult Swim.
