Rick and Morty Season 4 already made its premiere on Adult Swim, and US viewers have the pleasure to be able to watch the show earlier than overseas fans. However, UK audiences were disappointed to find out that they won't get to watch the series on Channel 4 until 2020. However, since UK fans expressed their dismay for the release date, the network listened to their demands and released a surprising announcement for UK fans.

Channel 4 initially scheduled the show to air in January 2020. However, since there's an incredible amount of anticipation for Rick and Morty, the network released a statement regarding the show's release date. UK fans can now celebrate since the show will make its premiere on November 20.

This is certainly a treat for avid fans of the shows since this is, without a doubt, a significantly early date compared to the initially planned release date. Since UK viewers wanted to be able to watch new episodes from season 4 as soon as possible, their cries resulted in moving the premiere date up.

The network even stated that they "really love" Rick and Morty despite the show's view on love, which is considered to be just a chemical reaction that "compels animals to breed." And since many people shared their adoration for the show as well, Rick and Morty will be up at 10 P.M. on the 20th. But it won't be on Channel 4, instead, it'll be on E4.

Ian Katz, Channel 4's Director of Programmes, admitted that they thought fans would be "delighted" upon the initial release date of season 4. However, they were surprised when fans thought that it "wasn't nearly soon enough."

It's cool to know that networks like these actually listen to their audience in order to give a better experience for their viewers. Of course, after two years of waiting, it is understandable that fans can't wait no longer to watch the fourth season.

Rick and Morty Season 4 premieres November 20 in the UK.
