Dan, Scott and the rest of the immensely talented team behind Rick and Morty are constantly outdoing themselves and I’ll be ing the millions of fans around the world in looking forward to more adventures in the years to come. Dan Harmon: Nobody wants a universe without Rick and Morty. Fortunately, the list of places to go remains infinite. Scott Marder: I couldn’t be prouder to have taken this baton of a lifetime during Rick and Morty’s fourth season and get us to Season 10.Getting to go beyond that now is such a gift I can’t wait to give our fans. Rick and Morty – a hundred years – forever!

What This Means For Rick And Morty

The Adult Swim Show Will Hit Several Major Milestones

In of number of seasons, this renewal has already guaranteed that Rick and Morty will race up the chart of the longest-running American animated shows of all time. While there are other ongoing shows that will keep producing new seasons in the meantime, it will outrun shows including Adventure Time, Regular Show, Beavis and Butt-Head, and Rugrats to become roughly the 15th longest-running animated show and the 11th longest-running adult animated show in American history. Below, see every U.S. animated show with more than 12 seasons, as well as every ongoing show with eight seasons or more:

This massive renewal also proves that the show has survived the absence of co-creator Justin Roiland, who was fired from the show in the wake of allegations of domestic abuse. Roiland also voiced both Rick and Morty and was replaced by Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden respectively in season 7. While this move surrounded the new season in controversy, its viewership was clearly strong enough to earn Adult Swim's faith that the show will continue to be a success through the end of the decade.

Our Take On The Rick And Morty Renewal

This Long-Term Commitment Proves The Show's Popularity

It seems slightly premature to promise five additional seasons after Rick and Morty season 7, committing to another half-decade of the show's run. However, this move cements the fact that the show is one of the defining adult animated series of the new era. Its extended run, and potential future longevity, will allow it to stand more clearly alongside iconic shows such as The Simpsons and Family Guy, better highlighting its prominent place in the animation ecosystem.
