It took a long awhile but "Rick and Morty" is getting a fourth season. And a lot more than that.

Adult Swim has ordered a staggering 70 new episodes of the popular animated series as part of a new long-term overall deal with the show’s creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland. That is more episodes than "Rick and Morty‘s" first three seasons combined (31 episodes).




The massive pickup, rarely seen these days, underscore "Rick and Morty‘s" outsized success. Its most recent Season 3 finale delivered Adult Swim’s highest ratings in history and helped the show claim the title of #1 comedy across all of television for 2017 with millennials.

"Rick and Morty" also has become a multi-platform sensation not just on television, but across digital, gaming, livestreaming, retail, and fan experiences.

Good to hear

This could be great or awful. I honestly cant comprehend seeing this show go upto that many episodes. Maybe another 2 seasons but after that I feel it will get stagnant and forgettable. Guess we'll see what happens!

It's all good!!!

Why Rick and Morty's 70-episode renewal is a bad idea (https://www.inverse.com/article/44757-rick-and-morty-season-4-premiere-70-episodes)
The Adult Swim series could go on for as long as 10 seasons. But how many shows are still good in Season 10?
