Recently, we learned that Rick And Morty received a whopping 70-episode order, ensuring the series will continue long past when Cronenberg World becomes reality here in our own dimension. Happily, there’s some chance we’ll all live long enough to see it as well, because, according to co-creator Justin Roiland, there won’t be any more massive gaps between seasons that there have been before.
According to Roiland, the job security afforded by the 70-episode order should mean the Rick And Morty factory will run more smoothly.
“[Co-creator Dan] 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 litlte 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.”
Of course, this is just Roiland talking about how he feels everything is going. There’s still every chance these jokers will drag their perfectionist feet and not get the next season out the door until 2022! However, he’s confirmed they’re already back in the writers’ room and that the ideas are flowing, so the gears are grinding into motion, at least.
Roiland also confirmed that there will be a lot of new Rick And Morty merch. He didn’t mention anything specific, but here’s hoping you’ll soon be able to get official Pickle Rick brand pickles that you can dip in Szechuan Sauce and then put them waaaaay up inside your butthole, Morty.
