'Rick and Morty' Season 4 Spoilers, Update: New Season Could Have More Episodes, Some Stories Already in Place?
"Rick and Morty" season 3 will already air its finale tomorrow, which has fans excited about how this amazing season draws to a close but also sad that it is over. Thankfully, there is a lot to look forward to after it airs with talks about season 4 now happening.
The current season was supposed to be 14 episodes long, but the production team failed to do so as planned, with series co-creator Dan Harmon holding himself responsible for it in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
I mostly blame myself for doing 10 instead of 14. I'm still learning how to do the show efficiently while catering to the perfectionist in all of us.

Harmon chooses to see the good thing in this and decides to take it as a lesson — making him optimistic about "Rick and Morty" season 4 possibly getting more episodes and delivering this time.
I would like to think I've learned enough from my mistakes in season 3 that we could definitely do 14 now, but then I have to say, 'Yeah but you're the guy who says we can do 14 who turned out to be wrong so we're not listening to you now.'
For now, however, he is not promising 14 episodes for "Rick and Morty" season 4. The "nice healthy approach" he has in mind is to first prove to themselves and to the network that they can do 10 "so easy that we'll earn additional episodes."
Harmon said that there are already a lot of ideas about stories for the next season, most of which developed while they were still working on season 3.
There are a million stories about episodes that started as one thing and then became another ... We have a pretty hefty shoebox from season 3 of ideas that are ready to go. Some are fully written, in fact.
Should these episodes make it to "Rick and Morty" season 4, it looks like writing will not take as long, giving them enough time to do more episodes and perhaps return to the small screen earlier as well.
The "Rick and Morty" season 3 finale, "The Rickchurian Mortydate," airs tomorrow, Oct. 1, at 10:30 p.m. ET on Adult Swim.
