Exclusive: Dan Harmon Unveils Mind-Blowing Story Concept That Guarantees Rick & Morty's Future Beyond Season 10!

Summary

The potential finale for Rick & Morty revolves around Morty reaching the age of 15 and establishing a romantic relationship. This newfound companionship inspires him to strive for independence, ultimately causing him to part ways with the exhilarating lifestyle of interdimensional escapades.

Morty's growth and journey towards independence have always been the central themes of the show. However, it might be challenging to envision the show's future beyond Morty being Rick's sidekick once he enters adolescence. Nevertheless, the next chapter of Morty's expedition will commence when the show makes its return on October 15th.

Rick and Morty will not end after completing its 70-episode order in season 10. However, Dan Harmon recently shared an idea for how the story could eventually reach its conclusion. Despite facing a hiatus filled with drama involving Justin Roiland, the acclaimed animated sci-fi comedy, which airs on Adult Swim, is preparing for its highly-anticipated return. While Roiland will not be returning as the voices of Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith due to allegations of sexual misconduct and subsequent firing, the show will continue with new actors being hired to voice the main characters.

The release date for Rick and Morty season 7 is imminent, and the co-creator of the show recently discussed how and when the long-running series might come to an end. Harmon expressed his desire for the show to last 100 seasons and stated that it is designed to do so, much to the relief of fans. However, Harmon also shared his vision for a potential conclusion. According to him, it could involve Morty turning 15 and finding a girlfriend who inspires him to become more independent, resulting in the destruction of everything as Morty embraces teenagehood and grows up. In a way, Morty's 15th birthday could symbolize the catastrophic sinking of a metaphorical Titanic.

Rick and Morty Has Always Been About Morty Growing Beyond Rick

Drawing inspiration from the iconic duo of Doc Brown and Marty McFly in Back to the Future, Rick and Morty burst onto the scene as a quirky pair of mad scientist and grandson, embarking on eccentric escapades across various bizarre dimensions. However, as time passed, the show delved deeper into the complexities of its characters, particularly focusing on the toxic dynamics within Rick and Morty's relationship.

Throughout the seasons, creator Dan Harmon and his team of writers have portrayed Morty's growth beyond Rick, showcasing his rebellious nature and burgeoning independence. It would only make sense for the series' endgame to witness Morty taking a pivotal step in his personal development by leaving behind a life of interdimensional adventures, instead opting for a more conventional teenage existence with a girlfriend. The prospect of Rick and Morty surviving this pivotal moment, where Morty transcends his role as Rick's begrudging sidekick and punching bag, is likened by Harmon to the challenges faced by the doomed ship in the Titanic. The next chapter in Morty's journey commences with the highly anticipated return of Adult Swim's acclaimed comedy on October 15.
