Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland believes that his popular Adult Swim animated series could continue for "a long time."

Following the conclusion of Rick and Morty's upcoming sixth season, the series will have at least 40 more episodes as part of a 70-episode order by Adult Swim in 2018. Roiland gave his thoughts as to what the future of the series will look like beyond that in an interview with Slashfilm. "We'll see. I mean, we're definitely working," Roiland said. "That's the nice thing about an order like that is that you can plan some stuff here and there. I guess we'll just see. It'll become a conversation down the road, with Discovery Network, apparently. [laughs] We'll be talking with the Discovery people after Season 10. But I would imagine those talks will probably start during production of Season 10, or maybe even Season 9, just because they take so damn long to figure that stuff out."

Roiland, who also voices the show's titular leads, added, "But yeah, I've always seen this show as a show that has legs. This show could really go for a really, really long time. And as long as we've got folks that are passionate about it and a fan base that wants to see more of this family and this crazy sci-fi multiverse that we've set up, I think we could do this for a long time."

The co-creator's comments seem to suggest that Rick and Morty is safe from the massive ongoing cutting of content being made to HBO Max by Warner Bros. Discovery. The corporate conglomerate announced the removal of 36 titles from the streaming service, including several Cartoon Network titles and HBO Max originals like Infinity Train and Aquaman: King of Atlantis. Interestingly, Infinity Train's removal has led to the series placing third on iTunes' Top TV Shows list, with Rick and Morty taking the second place spot behind Better Call Saul. Given the immense success of Rick and Morty, it's unlikely that the series will be removed from HBO Max in the near future.

As for what can be expected from Season 6 of Rick and Morty, fans left unsatisfied by the fifth season should be happy to hear that the new season gets "back into the rhythm of" the series. "Season 5 was a weird one," Roiland admitted recently, citing producer J. Michael Mendel's passing as a reason for the frame's divisive nature. "[I] didn't particularly think Season 5 was bad, but Season 6 is f*cking amazing. It really is a f*cking quality season."

Rick and Morty Season 6 premieres on Sept. 4 on Adult Swim.

A new trailer for Rick & Morty season 6 is here, and so is Wormageddon. The hit adult swim animated series has seen massive success since its premiere in 2003, with no plans of stopping anytime soon. After being renewed for 70 episodes following its season 3 run, Rick & Morty has grown into a multimedia franchise with comic books, video games, and TV spinoffs, to name a few, and two Primetime Emmy Awards under its belt. Created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, Rick & Morty follows titular characters Rick, a quirky and often over-the-top scientist, and his curious and anxious grandson, Morty, on their adventures throughout the Multiverse. Both Rick and Morty are voiced by the talented Roiland, with Chris Parnell and Sarah Chalke as Morty's parents Jerry and Beth, and Grammer as Morty's sister, Summer.

Rick & Morty season 6 is shaping up to be the most unpredictable one yet, now that the Central Finite Curve is destroyed. Thanks to the series' central villain, Evil Morty, they are no longer able to travel across the Multiverse. While the season 5 finale saw the destruction of Rick & Morty's version of the Multiverse, this has left fans wondering what they can expect moving forward. The show's primary storyline heavily relied on Rick and Morty's ability to travel between space and time, with infinite versions of themselves available if ever need be. Now, with season 6 on the horizon, trailers have hinted at a new villain entering the show.

Adult Swim premiered the trailer for Rick & Morty season 6, and it reveals a new menace to society, Wormageddon. Everything appears to be going smoothly for the pair as the trailer opens on a party inside Rick and Morty's home. That is until an unwelcome guest arrives. These new terrifying creatures reveal a new threat called Wormageddon, and it looks like fans will be seeing a lot of them in season 6. Check out the havoc Wormageddon wreaks in the Rick & Morty season 6 trailer below:

Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, the creators of Rick and Morty, have praised the Marvel Cinematic Universe's ability to educate audiences on the concept of the multiverse.

In an interview with ComicBook.com, the pair expressed admiration for how the recently established Multiverse has captured the imagination of the public, with Harmon saying, "It feels fantastic. I mean, as an earthling, I'm just so happy that we now have a shorthand human to human [interaction] that even a 15-year-old kid that I run into on the street, if I'm talking to them about different things like that, we can just have a shorthand for the idea that of infinite universes."

The Adult Swim series, which premiered in 2013, has offered a unique take on the concept of the multiverse, but Harmon stated the influence can be traced back to comic books. "I feel like blessed and lucky that we kind of got in on the ground floor of it," he said. "We did not invent it as everybody knows. You know, we stole it from comic books and science, then Marvel was only reclaiming it by starting to incorporate it into the film universe."

Roiland, who also voices both of the titular characters, weighed in on the debate, noting how the films are inherently fun despite occasional plot holes."If you're going to get really logical about it, they've got inconsistencies... but I just turn that part of my brain off and enjoy it," he said. "As long as they're doing it, and they're going to go there and really commit to multiverse sh-t, I'm so there for it. It's some of the best like cinematic sh-t in terms of just all the crazy criss cross. And it's just amazing. So I think it's all really cool, and I'd want to see more of it."
