The production wheels onRick and MortySeason 7 are already in motion — and Season 5 still has yet to premiere. It’s been an exciting time in theRick and Mortyuniverse lately. Not only is production on yet another season underway, but also, earlier this month, we learnedRick and Mortyco-creatorDan Harmonwill be bringing a new animated comedyto Fox set in ancient Greece.
This week, it was revealed writing for Season 7 has already begun.Rick and MortywriterAlex Rubensjokingly shared the big news onTwitter, writing, “Am I allowed to say we started writing Rick and Morty Season 7? (If not we didn’t and I’m not).”
Harmon also previously confirmed work on Season 7 had begun. During aRick and Mortypanel atthe Adult Swim Festivalback in November 2020, Harmon commented, ““I think we’re working on Season 7 right now, I can’t even keep track. I wouldn’t know if I were spoiling Season 5 or Season 6.”
Rubens' confirmation that work on Season 7 has already begun may come as surprise at first. Season 5 is coming soon, but with no release date set yet. Furthermore, the news that the writing on Season 7 has begun implies theRick and Mortyteam is also further along in work on Season 6 than we previously knew. All things considered, it seems like things are humming along quite nicely over at CampRick and Mortyas they plow through that70-episode order made back in 2018.

As for Season 5, what do we actually know about the new season? Even though we don’t know when it will hit Adult Swim, we do have a fun tease to work from. PerNME,Rick and Mortywriter and producerScott Marderteased the following about the next season: “There’s epic canon in season five coming. Fans are gonna, like, get knocked over by the canon we’re about to hit them with… All the stuff we’re doing is so awesome.”
Now, Marder’s tease does nothing in the way of confirming actual plot points for the next season. Then again, this isRick and MortySeason 5 we’re talking about. If you’re not expecting something absolutely batshit to happen at some point, then you’re new in town.
Rick and MortySeason 5 is coming soon. We’ll keep you posted on developments for Seasons 6 and 7. Check out Rubens' tweet below.
