When Did Rick And Morty Season 4 Come Out

Okay, let's talk Rick and Morty, specifically, the agonizing wait for Season 4. Remember that feeling? Like waiting for your pizza delivery guy when you're already hangry?

When did our favorite mad scientist and his grandson grace our screens again with more interdimensional shenanigans? It’s a bit of a story, so grab a plumbus and settle in.

The Long Wait Begins

After the glorious chaos of Season 3, fans were understandably eager for more. We'd just witnessed Pickle Rick, Morty's mind-blowing memories, and the utter brilliance that is the Citadel of Ricks.

Then...silence. A long, deafening silence. The void where new Rick and Morty episodes should be.

The wait between Season 3 and 4 felt like an eternity. We were all collectively asking, "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub, where's my new season?!"

The Grand Reveal (Eventually!)

Finally, the news broke! Season 4 was officially announced. The world rejoiced, or at least the internet did.

But, plot twist! It wasn’t a single, continuous season. Oh no, it had to be a Rick and Morty kind of release.

The first five episodes of Season 4 debuted on November 10, 2019. Yes, almost two and a half years after the finale of Season 3. Can you feel the relief washing over you?

Half a Season is Better Than None, Right?

The initial five episodes were pure, unadulterated Rick and Morty gold. We had dragons, heists, and even more existential dread.

But then...another break! It was like getting half a delicious sandwich and being told you had to wait months for the other half.

Fans, being the dedicated souls they are, were already theorizing about what the remaining episodes would bring.

The Second Half Arrives (Hallelujah!)

The second half of Season 4, the final five episodes, started airing on May 3, 2020.

That's right, the season was split across two calendar years. Talk about keeping us on our toes!

The back half didn’t disappoint. More mind-bending adventures, meta-commentary, and character development. It was exactly what we needed.

Why the Wait?

The reasons behind the delayed and split release were never fully explained, but hey, that's show business!

"Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's gonna die. Come watch TV?" - Morty Smith

Some speculated it was due to production schedules, creative differences, or maybe just plain old Rick and Morty weirdness.

Whatever the reason, the wait was worth it (mostly!). We got more Rick and Morty, and that's always a good thing.

The Legacy of Season 4's Release

The release of Season 4 taught us a valuable lesson: patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to our favorite animated shows.

It also highlighted the show's massive popularity. People were genuinely invested, analyzing every trailer and snippet of information.

In Conclusion

So, to answer the original question: Rick and Morty Season 4 was released in two parts, starting in November 2019 and concluding in May 2020.

The journey was long and winding, but ultimately, we got our fix of interdimensional travel, cynical humor, and heartfelt moments.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go rewatch the whole thing again. Because, why not?
