Rick and Morty‘s Season 7 is set to wrap on Dec. 17, and ahead of its finale, showrunner and executive producer Scott Marder is teasing what’s ahead for the Adult Swim animated series.
In a recent interview, Marder opened up about working on Season 9 of the show and hinted at a ten-season saga that’s being worked on.
“I can’t tease a lot. I can tell you we’re in the middle of writing season nine,” Marder said in an interview with Comic Book. “I can tell you that we’ve already got a couple ideas for Season 10 that are already kind of pinned. There is a full plan for a full 10-season saga.”
He continued, “So if people are on board with what we’ve been doing the past couple seasons, we’re intending to give them more of that. But there are certainly arcs and cool things and big surprises in store.”
Season 7 marked a shift for the long-running series as it was the first being produced without co-creator and star Justin Roiland, who voiced the titular characters. Roiland departed the series after allegations of domestic abuse, charges which have since been dropped following insufficient evidence.
Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden took over the lead roles voicing Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith, respectively. The show started airing in 2013 and revolves around the adventures of a sociopathic genius scientist who drags his inherently timid grandson on insanely dangerous adventures across the universe.
