Season 9 of Rick and Morty This May; Fox Entertainment Studios Lines Up Frankie Quiñones for Comedy Series

Get ready to portal-jump back into the multiverse - Adult Swim's #1 series returns with a season that's bigger, bolder, and more ambitious than ever. The galaxy's favorite duo returns when Season Nine of Rick and Morty premieres Sunday, May 24 at 11:00pm ET/PT.

Rick and Morty is back, baby! Season Nine is all certified bangers. No AI slop! Just Grade A organic slop, made by real humans with real human traits like back hair and cysts. Please watch, or we'll have neglected our families for nothing.

Rick and Morty was the #1 comedy across all of cable during seasons three, four, five and six, and has garnered two Emmys for "Outstanding Animated Program." It stars Ian Cardoni, Harry Belden, Sarah Chalke, Chris Parnell, and Spencer Grammer and is Executive Produced by Dan Harmon and Scott Marder, who also serves as showrunner.

Frankie Quiñones

Fox Entertainment Studios (FES) has entered into a development commitment with comedian, writer, and actor Frankie Quiñones for a new untitled comedy project. Under the agreement, Quiñones will co-write and star in a scripted comedy developed with FES, further expanding the studio's investment in bold, creator-driven voices across platforms.

Quiñones is a Los Angeles-based stand-up comedian and actor known for his viral character, "Creeper" and for starring in the Hulu comedy series This Fool. His one-hour special, Damn That's Crazy, was released on Hulu earlier this year. The special was directed by Ali Wong and recognized by the Los Angeles Times as one of the year's best standup specials.

Frankie filmed the NBC pilot, Untitled NBC Native American Community Center Comedy, last year and currently recurs on St. Denis Medical for the network. He also had a recurring role on FX's What We Do in the Shadows. Next up, Frankie will appear in Tom Segura's indie feature, El Tigre, alongside Luke Wilson and Segura, as well as the Netflix feature, The Fifth Wheel, with Kim Kardashian, Nikki Glaser, and Kristen Wiig.
