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.

Apple TV+ Series Physical Trailer; This Fool Returns July 28 on Hulu

Apple TV+ revealed the trailer for the third and final season of dark comedy series Physical, starring and executive produced by Rose Byrne and created by Annie Weisman. Joining the all-star cast, including Rory Scovel, Dierdre Friel and Paul Sparks, is award-winning actress Zooey Deschanel in her return to scripted television. Physical will premiere on Wednesday, August 2, 2023 on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes of the ten-episode season, followed by one new episode weekly, every Wednesday through September 27. Set in the idyllic but fragile beach paradise of 1980s San Diego, Physical follows Sheila Rubin (Byrne) as she transforms from quietly tortured housewife to dominant fitness entrepreneur. In her journey, Sheila battled her way out of an unsatisfying marriage to Danny (Scovel), fostered a dangerous relationship with real-estate mogul John Breem (Sparks), and confronted the dark voices within her own mind that have shamed and suppressed her for so long. With the help of her loyal friend — and now business partner — Greta (Friel), Sheila has found confidence and inner-strength though her work as a teacher and entrepreneur with Body by Sheila. In the third and concluding season of the series, Sheila finds her status challenged by rising celebrity exercise goddess Kelly Kilmartin (Deschanel), who becomes not only a professional threat, but manages to get in her head. Will Sheila prevail, or will Kelly’s presence in her life undermine the hard-earned healing and stability that Sheila has fought so hard for.
