>>106801318As a Rick & Morty fan, I'm actually pretty annoyed with how the production of this show is handled.
>Season 1 does well>Season 2 produced in 18 months>Show becomes really popular>Harmon decides it's a good idea to hire 5 new writers >Lazzo orders 14 episodes for Season 3>Takes crew 2 years to finish Season 3 because "writing is hard">only 10 episodes produced violating Lazzo's contract >Apparently 4 more episodes were in production but last minute the order was changed, I think because Harmon was taking too fucking long(this was mentioned in the DVD commentaries)>Season 3 is not as good but gets record ratings>Adult Swim takes 6 months to negotiate Season 4 contracts and ends up ordering 70 episodes>Production starts May 2018>Animation begins December 2018Basically don't expect new Rick & Morty until September thanks to laziness and blatant mismanagement. I don't really care, no-one is owed a show, but Adult Swim are losing a lot of money by wasting so much time.
