Rick and Morty is one of the most culturally-relevant shows on television, redefining stoner entertainment and finally giving us hope during this global pandemic that we're all navigating through together. After the premiere of Season 4 late last year, the Adult Swim program is ready to make its return with a batch of new episodes next month. That's right -- the second installment of the fourth season has just been announced and we don't have much longer to wait.
Giving us enough time to finish Tiger King, Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, the creators of Rick and Morty, have just revealed that the show will be returning on May 3, 2020.

"Prepare yourselves. The time for brand new Rick and Morty adventures is almost here," says the show's narrator in the brand-new trailer.
The animated series previously broke into the world of hip-hop after Kanye West revealed that it was one of his favorite shows. Roiland and Harmon ended up animating him, teasing his imminent debut on the small screen.
The boys are officially back in town! It's time to set your DVRs because Rick and Morty is making a return and we couldn't be any more excited. Who will be tuning in for the new episodes?
Pringles’ "Rick & Morty" Pickle Rick Flavored Chips Are Hitting Shelves Soon
Pickle Rick lives on.
Over the past half-decade, Rick & Morty has become a must-watch phenomenon that has united a multitude of different sub-cultures. Mainstream personalities such as Kanye West have even inserted themselves into the multi-verse, animated television show. Now, with the unparalleled success of one episode that featured Rick turning himself into a pickle, Pringles is now providing the masses with a flavor dedicated to the season three episode they're calling the 'Pickle Rick' flavor.
Late last year, Pringles revealed that they were concocting the Pickle Rick flavored potato chip and now, the official Rick & Morty Twitter account has provided their dedicated fellowship with a behind-the-scenes look at the chips being produced. With the assembly line moving fluidly and the canisters being promptly boxed, there's a good chance that the chips could be making their way to distribution centers now in preparation to hit shelves in the coming weeks.
During Super Bowl LIV, the Rick & Morty creators got the opportunity to curate an original Pringles advertisement of their own featuring none other than Rick, Summer, and what appeared to be Morty at first glance, until that it was revealed that he was nothing but a robot used for the promotion of Pringles. Rick's genius was able to catch on the scheme almost immediately but it was too late before he was swarmed by robotic Pringle-eating Morty's.
Check out the Rick & Morty 2020 Super Bowl Pringles commercial in the video provided below and stay tuned for the release of the 'Pickle Rick' Pringle flavor to release at a store near you very soon.

Following its inclusion in a December 8th episode of Rick & Morty,Future‘s “Mas Off” smash has experienced a new surge in streaming, earning it a top spot on the Top TV Songs Chart.
The chart pulls in both song and show data and develops a ranking based on this data along with sales and streaming information collected from the period that follows.

It marks a major bump since the track first debuted two years ago, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in May 2017.
“Mask Off” went on to the Future’s highest-charting track to date, but numbers indicate that this record could soon be unseated by his newest “Life Is Good” collaboration with Drake.
Elsewhere on the same chart, Billie Eilish also makes an appearance at No. 2 for her “ilomilo” track, which finds its place on her When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? album. After appearing in the fourth episode of the debut season of The L Word: Generation Q, the track earned 1,000 downloads while racking up 10.1 million audio streams.
