Last week it was reported that Adult Swim was yet to renew Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon’s hit animated series Rick and Morty for a fourth season, prompting some speculation about the show’s future, and whether in fact it might have one at all.
Well, fans can breathe a little easier now, as Harmon has revealed on Kevin Smith’s SModcast that talks are indeed taking place about a new season, but deals are yet to be finalised.
“The reason why we’re not working on Rick and Morty right now ain’t because I figured out that I don’t need to impress you, it’s because of a little something called contract negotiations and it’s gotten complicated this time around.”
Given the show’s popularity, it’s surely only a matter of time before Adult Swim makes the fourth season official. However, as series writer Ryan Ridley pointed out back in January, given the lengthy production schedule we’re unlikely to see any new episodes before mid-to-late 2019.
