Will 'Rick And Morty' Return For Season 4? Another Long Hiatus For Fans

“Rick and Morty” had become one of the top-most rated TV comedy in 2017.  The third season of the absurdist, nihilistic animated sitcom reached its end. Fans waited two years for “Rick and Morty” Season 3 and it looks like they might have to wait again.
The show’s fourth season has not yet been confirmed by Adult Swim. The show has been the biggest hit to date for Adult Swim. The show’s co-creator Dan Harmon is positive about the fourth season and tells fans it would the show’s biggest season yet.

‘Rick and Morty’ Season 3 a Supposed Longer Season

Harmon told Entertainment Weekly Season 3 was supposed to be the show’s longest season. Each season of “Rick and Morty”  lasts between 10 to 11 episodes. But Season 3 was initially planned to be 14 episodes.  Harmon says he is confident he and co-creator Justin Roiland will ensure Season 4 would have 14-episodes.
Harmon said he wants to prove the first 10 episodes of Season 4 is so easy and they would have to earn additional episodes. Season 4 has yet to be confirmed with Adult Swim. It’s hard to imagine the show getting canceled by the network with its dedicated fanbase. The show has been a crossover hit for the network.
“Rick and Morty” was used in commercials for Hardees and the film “Alien: Covenant.” They were even guest animators for “The Simpsons” opening couch gag. The show’s popularity has steadily gained viewers since 2013.

‘Rick and Morty’ Toxic Fanbase

Harmon admits the reason could be the show’s fans for the show not coming back for another season. “Rick and Morty” fans invest so much of their own energy into the show.  Some even to the point of harassment.
In Season 3, the show’s writing staff added more women to the show’s creative team to counterbalance Adult Swim’s lack of female writers and showrunners. Two writers of “Rick and Morty” staff, Jane Becker and Jessica Gao were harassed by passionate fans.

Harmon’s response expressed his distaste for the most toxic portion of the “Rick and Morty” fanbase. He told Entertainment Weekly it was offensive the way some fans “protect” their show. They combine their hateful comments with their race or gender to further their creepy agenda.
The only reason there won’t be another season if the co-creators decide not to bring it back. Harmon claimed it was due to their perfectionist standards why Season 3 took so long. Despite a few bad eggs in the “Rick and Morty” fanbase won’t stop Roiland and Harmon.
