After a near-two gap between the second and third third seasons of Rick and Morty, it looks like we’ll be facing a similar wait for season four, with series writer Ryan Ridley revealing that the next batch of episodes are unlikely to arrive before “late 2019″.
“I’m just shocked that it’s taking – we got done writing season 3 in November of last year [2016] and here we are 11 months later,” Ridley told The Detroit Cast (via Dark Horizons). “And then I know how long the show takes to write, let alone animate, so it’s just like, I’d be surprised if there was a fourth season on the air any sooner than 2019 – in late 2019.”
“They really take their time,” he continued. “I never understood why everybody – all parties, Dan Harmon, Justin Roiland, and Adult Swim – didn’t get their shit together, and make the show fast; I just don’t get it. It doesn’t make any sense to me. I’m sure they all have their reasons. Get your shit together, you guys. Get it all together, and put it in a backpack.”
