Rick and Morty Co-Creator Promises No More Huge Gaps Between Seasons

Though Rick and Morty has become a recent pop-culture phenomenon, fans had to learn the hard way that there is a huge wait inbetween seasons. As it turns out, we're going to be getting more regular releases moving forward.

Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland told Polygon:

"We‘re super excited that, for the first time ever, we're locked in, we know what the future is, we have job security… [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 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."

Just recently, it had been revealed that Rick and Morty was picked up for 70 more episodes. We don't know how that will be split into seasons, but at least we know that we have a lot of incoming content to look forward to.

Before, it was speculated that the hiatus was due to Dan Harmon's perfectionist nature when it came to making episodes. The same problem happened with him in his previous show, Community. Now it looks like another layer that has been causing delays has been taken care of.

We still don't have an estimate on when we're going to get the fourth season of Rick and Morty, but it's probably a good guess that it will come out next year.
