What critics are saying about Rick and Morty Season 9 in reviews

Early reactions suggest Season 9 may be a major comeback moment for Rick and Morty. Several critics who felt the show had slowed down in recent years now believe the series has found fresh energy again. Reviewers especially praised the balance between sci-fi stories, emotional themes, and the show’s trademark dark humor.

David Opie of GamesRadar+ wrote, “If you’ve thought about giving up on Rick and Morty — or did already — trust me when I say that 2026 is the year you should give the show another chance.” Nick Valdez of ComicBook.com also praised the season, calling it “a high point for the Adult Swim original.”

Other critics highlighted how the series still manages to reinvent itself after nearly a decade on air. Ben Gibbons of Screen Rant said the new season continues to showcase “innovation, ingenuity, and creativity” from co-creator Dan Harmon and the production team. Peter Martin of ScreenAnarchy praised the animation and storytelling, saying the wild science-fiction ideas somehow still feel believable within the show’s universe.

The biggest headline surrounding the new season may be its Rotten Tomatoes score. Season 9 currently holds a 100% Tomatometer rating based on early critic reviews, making it the highest-rated season launch for the animated series in years.

That score puts it ahead of Season 8’s strong 93% rating and far above Season 7, which dropped to 77%.
