Rick And Morty Writers Are ‘About To Start Breaking Stories For Season 9’ [Exclusive]

For a while, fans of the show just had to get used to extended wait times between seasons. It was a full two years between season 2 and season 3, with an even larger wait for season 4. But things have seemed to settle down in that regard. What almost certainly helped was the massive 70 episode order given to “Rick and Morty” following season 3, which was for an unspecified number of seasons. At ten episodes each, that was roughly a seven season pickup, which is downright unheard of in the TV industry.

The other thing to consider is that this may not be the end of “Rick and Morty.” Roiland said earlier this year that he has no plans to end the show anytime soon. At this point, it’s really just a matter of audience appetite and having a home for the series. Given what’s been going on with Cartoon Network amidst the ongoing Warner Bros. Discovery post-merger drama, things could change on that front. For now, though, everything seems to be moving right along.

“Rick and Morty” returns with new episodes beginning November 20, 2022, on Adult Swim.
