It looks like season 6 of ‘Rick And Morty’ is already in the works

Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, various television shows have been delayed due to productions shutting down. Although this means some of our favorite shows won’t be back for a while, the coronavirus lockdown is offering more time for other shows to move further ahead than scheduled. This appears to include Rick And Morty.

This week, Rick And Morty co-creator Dan Harmon confirmed that quarantine protocols are giving him a head start on season 6 of the binge-worthy show.

Over the past few weeks, it has been released that a number of shows have been impacted by the pandemic. More recently, Ryan Murphy shared that season 10 of American Horror Story has been delayed. Along with this, Netflix series Stranger Things and The Umbrella Academy have also been impacted.

Despite the setbacks for many shows, Harmon confirmed this week that writing for Rick And Morty season 6 has already started. At the moment, the second half of season 4 is currently airing on Adult Swim. The season’s first episode premiered back in November 2019 and features a number of people including Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok). Episode writing for season 5 is already happening, but nothing has been recorded as of yet.
