Adult Swim's 'Rick And Morty' Renewed For Season 3
"Rick and Morty" has been renewed for another season.
According to IGN, Adult Swim has announced that its most popular show has been renewed for Season 3. Starting next season, 19 episodes will be aired.
Season 2 of "Rick and Morty" premiered with monster ratings.
Dan Harmon, co-creator of the show, said about the show's renewal: "It's an honor to see Rick and Morty join the exclusive club of shows with over 19 episodes, It's time to demand that the network allow us to draw the characters going to Hawaii."
Executive producer and co-creator Justin Roiland stated: "I am blown away by the seemingly instant success of Rick and Morty, I look forward to continuing their adventures!"
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Season 2 premiere posted triple digits gains among viewers in the 18-49, 18-34 and 18-24 age demographic.
In Season 2, Rick Sanchez (Roiland) is still living with the family of his daughter Beth (Sarah Chalke) and causing more trouble than ever. This season the rest of the clan, son-in-law Jerry (Chris Parnell), granddaughter Summer (Spencer Grammer) and grandson Morty (Roiland) are pulled into Rick's intergalactic adventures as he faces new threats, while the mysteries of a secret past are revealed.
Dan Harmon is also the creator of the popular NBC show "Community." Last year, NBC canceled the show but it was picked up by Yahoo. It is unknown if there will be a Season 7 of the show.
There has been talk of a "Community" movie in the works. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Harmon addressed the movie rumors.
"I think there's a higher chance of a movie than a seventh season. I think it has to do with talent contracts. We've got a lot of very talented people whose contracts have run out, and they get to explore the world and see what comes of it," he said. "In that kind of situation, anybody coming to those people and rounding them up like the Magnificent Seven and saying, 'Who wants to do a movie?' I think the chance of getting a yes to that is much higher than, 'Who wants to come back to Vietnam -- the war's not over yet.' I think the idea of a movie just sounds more fun and also sounds like it has a hard out in terms of schedule."
New episodes of "Rick and Morty" air every Sunday at 11:30 p.m. on Adult Swim.
