This news piece will include spoilers for season five of Rick and Morty. The mega-hit Adult Swim series has confirmed a central character to the show will be queer in the new season and we’ve got good reason to believe it’s Jerry.
Speculation of the character began once Jerry sought out a relationship with the phantom Sleepy Gary in the second season of Rick and Morty.
The season two episode, titled Total Rickall, revealed Jerry’s memory with Sleepy Gary was in fact a fake one. Despite this, the character was still heartbroken at the news Sleepy Gary was fictional and was implanted by a parasite.
Jerry went as far as to tell his wife Beth (Sarah Chalke) that he needed time to mourn and get over his loss before reconciling with her.
