Rick and Morty is getting a fifth season, and it’s coming sooner than fans might be expecting. Even though Season 4 is still months off, creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon confirmed at Comic-Con today that work is well underway on Season 5.
Harmon said, “It took us a year and a half to get in writing we were allowed to do the show. There was a lot of stuff that happened in between 3 and 4 that will never have to happen again.”
Harmon later elaborated on the behind-the-scenes difficulties that caused such a large gap between Season 3 and 4, describing it as a prolonged contract negotiation made more complicated by corporate changes at WarnerMedia.
“It was in the midst of a giant merger,” said Harmon. “It’s the fault of systems. We want to be able to do this show for a living. It took that long, and that’s both sides talking.”
