One of the weekend’s most anticipated events arrives on Friday, July 24, as the voice cast of Rick and Morty comes together for an exclusive live table read.

The event promises plenty of laughs, unexpected surprises, and a behind-the-scenes look at how one of Adult Swim’s most successful animated series comes to life.

Fans will have the opportunity to hear the performers bring the show’s signature humor and chaotic energy to the stage in a unique live performance rarely seen outside the recording studio.

The weekend concludes on Saturday, July 25, with Adult Swim Through the Years, a one-night-only celebration commemorating the network’s 25th anniversary.

Fans are encouraged to arrive dressed as their favorite Adult Swim characters for an evening dedicated to the shows, moments, and personalities that have defined the brand over the past quarter century.

The celebration will also feature a live animated visual set from Afuchs Twin, adding an immersive artistic element to the festivities as the network looks back on 25 years of groundbreaking animation and late-night entertainment.

A Comic-Con Tradition Returns
