Fans who have been complaining about the dearth of Rick and Morty content have reason to celebrate as Adult Swim just released its spin-off, The Vindicators 2, on YouTube. This joins the long list of content that Adult Swim feeds its fans between the seasons. This comes after it was announced that the dimension-hopping duo is coming back to our screens on September 4. The 10-episode web series should sate the fans until season 6’s premiere.

What is the Rick and Morty spin-off, The Vindicators 2, about?

The Vindicators make their first appearance in the season 3 episode titled, Vindicators 3: The Return of Wordlender. The superhero group included Supernova, Vance Maximus, Million Ants, Crocubot, Alan Rails, and Noob-Noob. Despite their hero status, Rick Sanchez doesn’t get along with them. However, due to Morty forcing Rick to tag along with them on an adventure, he joins them. But later, he finds out it’s their third adventure. They didn’t invite Rick previously because they disliked him. Rick, angry, drunkenly sets up death traps to kill them all off.
