Rick and Morty

Rick and Morty is an American animated science-fiction comedy-drama media franchise, whose eponymous duo consists of Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith. Rick and Morty were created by Justin Roiland for a 2006 parody film of Back to the Future for Channel 101, a short film festival co-founded by Dan Harmon. After six years, the sketch was developed with Harmon into Rick and Morty, a half-hour prime time show that was a hit for Adult Swim, receiving universal acclaim across all seasons. Alongside the original television series, the characters of the show have been featured in a variety of media, including spin-offs, comic books, musical releases and video games. The show has earned hundreds of millions of dollars in income across their merchandising and media franchise.
