John Atkinson has been a news and feature writer for Screen Rant since late 2018. More: Rick & Morty: What A Plumbus Can Actually Do
One that successfully avoids the rock and a hard place scene and hopefully pays off when the new Rick and Morty episodes are released. As such, it would appear that Harmon and Roiland have chosen a fitting compromise. As the voiceover in the recent trailer suggests, while it may only be half the season fans deserve, it's also all the season they could handle. Equally, it would likely be met with more vocal criticism than the long wait or a shortened run would be. As much as fans would new episodes at a rapid pace, to do so at the expense of the quality expected from Rick and Morty would be a mistake. It could also make their (scathing and loving) pop-culture references even more prescient, with the writers able to work them into scripts and get them to screen not long after inspiration strikes. A level of quality that can match the influx of guest appearances lined up for season 4 - including popular film director Taika Waititi. While the wait between the end of season 3 and the start of season 4 has been as long a gap as previous years, that will definitely change going forward.Īnother major component to the switch it assuredly also to maintain quality. Such a streamlined process is also firmly in line with the proclamation from Rick's daughter, Beth, within the season 3 finale. Harmon and Roiland, after all, previously confirmed that they are already writing season 5. In fact, it will likely be 2020 - whether those episodes serve as the second half to season 4 or new season in its own right. Though fans are now lamenting the truncated run, the wait between these upcoming batch of episodes and the one to follow will no doubt by far less than 2 years. The latest move on behalf of the showrunners is no doubt their way of combating such a fierce, often impatient demand and subsequent vocal disappointment. Still, others couldn't get past it being a far cry from their turnaround. Although some fans understood the waiting time, given the level of detail and insanely outlandish plots often eclipsing both similarly animated shows like The Simpsons and South Park. The gap between season 1 and 2, and then 2 and 3, was typically a couple of years. After all, one of the biggest criticisms from fans is the long wait between seasons. The latest of such questions - "why is season 4 so short?" - is likely a direct response to a previous one. If there is one thing that fans of Rick and Morty love, however, it's asking why? That and limited edition re-released packets of McDonalds Szechaun sauce, of course.

The first official season 4 trailer was released earlier in the month, promising the series' usual blend of madcap adventures and pop-culture references. Soon after, it was announced that Rick & Morty had been renewed for 70 episodes - to air across an unspecified amount of seasons. Harmon later clarified, however, that the delay was due to difficult contract negotiations. Roiland also serves as the voice for both titular characters.įans were initially worried when Adult Swim neglected to renew the popular show within the usual time frame.
