According to Polygon, the fan-favorite animated show that doesn't exactly pander to stoners but absolutely specifically panders to stoners will have no more terrible gaps between seasons. Co-Creator Justin Roiland realizes that they stressed a lot of fans out by delaying the upcoming season of Rick and Morty, but he doesn’t anticipate any 18 month long gaps like the one that fans have just experienced in between seasons 2 and 3.
In related good news, the reason for the lapse in hilarity was due to the two creators, Dan Harmon and Roiland pushing for a massive contract that will have them making Rick and Morty for at least 70 more episodes. Adult Swim definitely knows what side their bread is buttered on.
Roiland was recently at E3 last week to drum up attention for his upcoming game, Trover Saves The Universe had this to say about the massive extension; “We‘re super excited that, for the first time ever, we’re locked in, we know what the future is, we have job security. Harmon is in great spirits, we have a great writer’s room. We want the episodes to stay good, but we do also want to try to turn them around a little quicker now that we have this big order, I think it gives us the ability to be faster. We’re not going to do these long breaks, these chasms in between seasons anymore. We’re going to schedule vacation time and just keep the machine going. It’s going to be really cool.” It’s no “Rick and Morty forever, 100 years, Rick and Morty, Rick and Morty.com” maybe, but it does seem a little more sustainable as a work-life-balance strategy, at least.
We are in luck, friends. Rick and Morty are here to stay, at least for the forseeable future.
