"Rick and Morty" Secures Seasons 11 and 12 Amid Season 8 Anticipation
Hold onto your portal guns, dimension-hoppers! The multiverse's favorite grandfather-grandson duo is set for more wild rides. Adult Swim's "Rick and Morty" just scored a massive win, bagging approval for seasons 11 and 12. And get this – fans are still on the edge of their seats waiting for season 8!
A Rollercoaster of Changes
Things haven't exactly been smooth sailing in the "Rick and Morty" universe lately. Justin Roiland, who co-created the show with Dan Harmon and voiced both Rick and Morty (plus a bunch of other characters), got the boot due to some serious family violence allegations. Talk about interdimensional drama!
But like a true phoenix rising from the ashes (or should we say, like Rick rising from a vat of acid?), the show bounced back. Season 7 hit our screens on October 15, 2023, with a fresh voice cast that had fans buzzing. And while we've been treated to some sweet side content like the "Rick and Morty" anime that dropped last August, let's be real – we're all itching for Season 8.
New York Comic-Con Drops the Bomb
At this year's New York Comic-Con, fans got the mother of all surprises. Dan Harmon, now flying solo as the show's mastermind, announced that "Rick and Morty" is locked and loaded for seasons 11 and 12. Remember that massive 70-episode order from way back in 2018? Well, this latest green light means all those promised adventures are now set in stone.
Here's the kicker: We're talking "Rick and Morty" goodness guaranteed until at least 2029. That's right, folks – we've got years of portal-jumping mayhem to look forward to!
What the Big Cheeses Had to Say
Dan Harmon, in his typical wit, quipped: "Nobody wants a universe without Rick and Morty. Luckily, we've still got infinite options on our places-to-go list." It's clear the creative juices are still flowing strong for this crew.
Scott Marder, the show's producer, couldn't contain his excitement either. He gushed, "I couldn't be prouder to have grabbed the reins of Rick and Morty in season four and steered us to season ten. The idea of going beyond that is a gift I can't wait to give our fans." Now that's the kind of enthusiasm we like to see!
When Can We Expect More Rick and Morty Madness?
Now, I know what you're thinking – "When's Season 8 dropping?" Well, the exact date is still under wraps, but word on the street is we might see it sometime in 2025. But hey, good things come to those who wait, right?
In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for more "Rick and Morty" news. With this much excitement in the air, you can bet there'll be plenty of juicy tidbits coming our way soon.
So, buckle up, Morty (and all you other dimensions of Morty out there) – we're in for a long, crazy ride with "Rick and Morty." And honestly? We wouldn't have it any other way. Wubba lubba dub dub!
