With over fifty episodes already under their belt, and it seems like whispers of her future are already swirling Rick and Morty It is here to stay for the long term. It now seems impossible to think of a world without the series, but the stellar success of the Adult Swim series, which spawned spin-offs, video games, and countless other merchandise, it almost couldn’t find a home. Speaking in a new interview with splash screenseries creator Justin Roiland revealed that when they were developing and then promoting the series, it took a while for anyone in Hollywood to just shake it up.
“I can tell you we’ve been having a hard time getting the concept of science fiction through the gate,” the Emmy Award-winning writer, producer, and star revealed. “This was around the time Futurama It was cancelled. Science fiction was not profitable. It wasn’t working well. The executives saw sci-fi and were like, “Eh, no, that’s not — it’s a dirty word.” So, for sure, that was the climate at the time. Then we managed to get past the goalkeeper. He was obviously a very smart goalkeeper who knew what they were doing and let’s put in the show we wanted to give, and here we are.”
Only a few weeks left to come back Rick and MortyThe sixth season is scheduled to air on September 4. This next set of episodes will make the series a little less than halfway up the mega-episode order from Adult Swim, which picked up the show for seven seasons/seventy episodes in that time just after the third season. With forty more episodes arriving after this year, one might think the end is imminent, but not according to Royland.
“I very much expect the show to exceed that [70-episode] command,” emphasized to port. “I don’t think it’s going down, I mean, it’s just like, ‘Well, we have a certain amount of momentum here. For me, the 70-episode arrangement was like, ‘Okay, how much can we commit to it?’ It was a two-way street between us and the network saying we’re going to take this seriously, right? We’re not going to go develop a bunch of stuff unless we hire Like Scott Mardier to run the store. But anyway, it’s a commitment to professionalism and stuff, and it was something that counted. He’s like, ‘Oh, we got in his position, we’re told we have a job tomorrow no matter what we do.’ “As a result two steps later, Scott has now landed the show on schedule, and for the first time in the life of the show, we’re looking to do one season a year. It worked out great, and having that arrangement was exactly what we needed to grow.”
