Here are how many episodes Rick and Morty has left from its 70-episode order that happened 2018. As soon as Rick and Morty was released back in 2013, it was a remarkably successful show and a huge hit with both critics and audiences. The show had high critical acclaim while each succeeding episode saw an increase in ratings, leading to season 3 of Rick and Morty ending with the best ratings in Adult Swim history at the time. After this success, Adult Swim ordered 70 new episodes of Rick and Morty, starting with season 4 in 2019.
Season 4 of Rick and Morty consisted of 10 episodes, with the first episode, "Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat" releasing on November 10th of 2019, and the last episode, "Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri" completing the season on May 31st, 2020. Just like season 4, season 5 consisted of 10 episodes which began in June 2021. The final episode of season 5, "Rickmurai Jack" aired on September 5th, 2021. Rick and Morty season 6 will release on September 4th.
Prior to the season 6 premiere, only 20 episodes of Adult Swim's 70-episode air have been released so far. This means that there are still 50 episodes left of Rick and Morty coming in the future, which means the audience can expect another five seasons of the show, as long as Rick and Morty continues to release 10 episodes per season, which is highly likely. This also means that the audience can expect at least five more years of Rick and Morty, barring any sort of setback in the production of each season.
Will Rick & Morty Continue Once Its 70 Episode Order Is Complete?
By the time the next 50 Rick and Morty episodes have been released, Rick and Morty will have had around 10 seasons. While the creators of Rick and Morty, Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, have expressed that they have several ideas for the future of Rick and Morty, it would be extremely difficult to continue to produce unique and creative episodes without the risk of boring the audience or repeating plot lines from previous seasons. However, since the premise of the show involves wacky characters, multiple realities, and absurdity, it is possible for the creators to continue the show past the 70-episode order, if they so desire. This is especially so, considering the popularity of Rick and Morty, as it is one of the biggest TV releases of 2022.
In addition, producing 10 episodes a year significantly helps out, as it gives the creators more time to put their effort and talent into making each episode creative and entertaining. Rick and Morty appears to be both creative and popular enough to possibly have more than 10 seasons, but only if the episodes produced match the quality of the episodes seen in the first five seasons. Fortunately, the show has already set a strong foundation for the future.
