‘Rick and Morty’ Season 5: Will The Show Have Another Season? – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Rick and Mortyhas a slavishly devoted fan base. The show has struck a chord with viewers with its intelligent blend of humor, sci-fi absurdity, and darkness.

When season 3 ended in October of 2017 the fans didnt realize how long it would take for season 4 to hit the airwaves. But after a two-year wait, season 4 has finally arrived and there was much rejoicing among the viewers.

Now, naturally, fans are curious and worried about season 5.First and foremost: Will there be a season 5 of Rick and Morty? And, if so, will the wait be as excruciatingly long as it was from season 4? Heres what we know aboutRick and Mortyseason 5 and beyond.

Months after the end of season 3 it became clear that Adult Swim hadnt ordered another season of the show. Fans were shocked: Did this mean it was possible that the show was ending? Why werent the creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon slaving away on new episodes?

Finally, in May of 2018, Adult Swim announced thatRick and Morty had been renewed. Not for a single season, but for 70 more episodes!

It turns out that Roiland and Harmon wanted to be paid more and a guarantee that the show would continue. They claimed that they asked for immortality forRick and Morty, but that they would settle for many, many more seasons.

Since most seasons have been 10 episodes long, that suggests that fans can happily expect 7 more seasons, for a total of 10. Not immortality, but good enough for now.

No one really knows exactly when season 5 will be released, but the wait isnot going to be as agonizing. Roiland has assured fans that theyre already starting work on it.

In a recent interview withEntertainment Weekly,Harmon said: I think its safe to say without fear of being wrong that the gap between seasons 3 and 4 will be the longest and last time that its ever so long that its ridiculous.

People are trying to guess when the start date will be, and the best guess is November of 2020. Whenever the date is, fans are happy to know it wont take two years to get here.

Harmon and Roiland arent the only ones who have a new sense of security with the 70 episode order. Fans can now rest easy knowing that negotiations shouldnt slow things down again.

Theres not much information about whats up for the next season, but Harmon and Roiland have repeatedly said theyd love to work with Kanye West. Theyve even offered him complete creative control over an episode.

West has said publicly that he loves the show, so its a strong possibility that some sort of collaboration will happen. He even met with theRick and Mortyteam back in August.

Apparently his devotion to the show is one thing that isnt affected by his newfound faith.

Since they know it wont be the end, fans can relax and enjoy season 4. Theres an evil Morty theory that may drive you to rewatch the premiere episode a few times. The expected guest stars includeTaika Waititi, Sam Neill,Paul Giamatti, Kathleen Turner, and Matthew Broderick.

Whatever happens, we can all be sure it will be funny, smart, and completely unique, and fans can bask in the knowledge that the magic isnt going to end any time soon.
