First up, Adult Swim has ordered a
Rick and Morty spin-off called
The Vindicators. Inspired by the intergalactic crime fighting team (seen above) that appeared in the episode “Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender,” the series will focus on Supernova, Vance Maximus, Alan Rails, Crocubot, and Noob Noob as they try to keep the galaxy safe from various cosmic threats.
The series will be executive produced by
Sarah Carbiener and
Erica Rosbe, who said in a statement:
“We are thrilled to work in the Rick and Morty universe again, and these shorts are an incredible opportunity to explore what happens in the aftermath of the Vindicators saving (or destroying) worlds. We’re so excited to show how this team of superheroes is plenty dysfunctional whether Rick’s around to have half of them murdered or not.”
