20 Adult Animated Series Perfect For Fans Of "Rick And Morty"

But with each episode dropping weekly, some fans might find themselves missing out on the adult animation action in the downtime between new chapters of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland’s twisted series. With this in mind, I’ve assembled 20 other animated series that should serve as a thematically appropriate distraction until your next fix of Rick and Morty.

A gleefully chaotic animated spin on the Batman universe as told through the warped lens of antihero Harley Quinn, this hysterical and screwed-up series works as both a clever send-up and a loving tribute to the Caped Crusader’s extensive rogues’ gallery.

Where to Watch: HBO Max

2022’s most buzzworthy adult animated series about friends who work for a company specializing in cheering up others expertly blends absurdism, parody, and gross-out humor to create a wholly original, laugh-out-loud vision that’s definitely NSFW.

Blending dark comedy animation and nostalgic ‘90s live-action interstitials, this bizarre series sees Saturday Night Live actor Kyle Mooney delivering his brand of off-beat humor in multiple roles.

Where to Watch: Netflix

Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha’s ridiculously violent comedy series about a rock band with a seemingly apocalyptic destiny puts the “death” in death metal (and hits all the right notes in doing so).

Before becoming some of the most dependably amazing voices in Hollywood, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller showed off their comedic potential with this questionably tasteful yet undeniably clever series about a high school populated by the clones of famous historical figures.

Where to Watch: Paramount Plus

The warped sense of humor shared between The Boys and Rick and Morty goes into hyperdrive in this animated anthology series set in the super-powered universe of the former franchise.

Where to Watch: Amazon Prime Video

Genndy Tartakovsky’s badass action series follows the kinship between a caveman and dinosaur, whose shared grief forms an unlikely bond (and touches upon many surprisingly emotional beats that Rick and Morty fans might recognize from the show’s dramatic revelations). 

Where to Watch: HBO Max

Based on the legendary inaugural D&D campaign from the hit YouTube series Critical Role, this Amazon original series gleefully indulges in violence, sex, and crude language while remaining respectful and faithful to fantasy lore.

Where to Watch: Amazon Prime Video

With a uniquely strange sense of humor that was way ahead of its time, this Will Ferrell-starring animated sitcom not only has a biting sense of humor reminiscent of Rick and Morty but delves into social issues with a nearly identical, cynical wit.

Where to Watch: Tubi

It’s Willy Wonka meets Riki-Oh in this surreal splatter series that takes place in a sadistic yet whimsical prison from an alternate dimension.

Where to Watch: HBO Max

This brand new anime series perfectly encapsulates the breakneck sci-fi anarchy so often associated with the Cyberpunk franchise (and, of course, Rick and Morty, albeit not as viscerally so).

Where to Watch: Netflix

Possibly the most controversial animated series of 2022, Little Demon is certain to hit the funny bones of Rick and Morty fans with its deranged and provocative humor.

Where to Watch: Hulu

Lovingly lampooning pop culture both classic and contemporary, Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law was a gut-busting and clever breakout hit for Adult Swim during its broadcast run in the early-to-mid-’00s.

Where to Watch: HBO Max

One of the funniest shows in Adult Swim history, the deep, growing universe of The Venture Bros. and its take-no-prisoners approach to parody seem like a sure fit for fans of the equally rambunctious RIck and Morty.
