Rick and Morty Renewed For Two Additional Seasons

Adult Swim has announced that two more seasons of Rick and Morty have been ordered which will put the total season order to 12 seasons ordered thus far. The network has released a press release that you can see below along with a first-look animatic of the show’s eighth season slated to premiere sometime in 2025. It should be noted in the press release a clear note from the network that since the unwarranted firing of Justin Roiland, Rick and Morty has stopped being the #1 comedy across all of cable like in year’s past and season seven was also the first season since season three to not have an Emmy nom.

Press Release:

Adult Swim has greenlit two additional seasons of Rick and Morty, ensuring the global hit comedy will reach a 12^th season, it was announced today at New York Comic Con. Previously greenlit until Season 10, Adult Swim’s #1 series that follows a sociopathic genius scientist who drags his inherently timid grandson on insanely dangerous adventures across the universe will now run through 2029. Rick and Morty was the #1 comedy across all of cable during seasons three, four, five and six, and has garnered two Emmys for “Outstanding Animated Program.”

The greenlight news was revealed during today’s Rick and Morty panel by series executive producers Dan Harmon and Scott Marder who were joined by series regulars Harry Belden, Ian Cardoni, Sarah Chalke, Spencer Grammer, and Chris Parnell. The panel also debuted a sneak animatic from a Season 8 episode, set to premiere in 2025.
