What is the plot of Rick and Morty season 6?
Rick and Morty season 5 ended with a huge twist. Evil Morty destroyed the Citadel of Ricks and the Central Finite Curve, which had been in place to keep out any realities where Rick wasn’t the smartest person in that universe. To make matters worse, Evil Morty used portal fluid as part of his plan and now the main Rick (Rick C-137) can’t easily transport from universe to universe. So how will Rick and Morty stop Evil Morty?
The official synopsis for Rick and Morty season 6 offers some small teases of what to expect:
"It’s season six and Rick and Morty are back! Pick up where we left them, worse for wear and down on their luck. Will they manage to bounce back for more adventures? Or will they get swept up in an ocean of piss! Who knows?! Piss! Family! Intrigue! A bunch of dinosaurs! More piss! Another can’t miss season of your favorite show."
All but Rick and Morty season 1 featured 10 episodes, so until further notice, we can guess that's how many is part of season 6.
