We talk to Dan Harmon and the cast of Rick and Morty about the show's fifth season, which premieres on Adult Swim this Sunday.
. Years ago, their hit show received the mother of all renewals to the tune of 70 episodes over a non-specific number of seasons. Considering how often Harmon’s last big TV project,’s success was a bit of a reversal of fortune. Now, as Harmon and his cast have wrapped on their fifth season, which debuts this weekend, and with yet more to come, they just seem to be enjoying the batshit ride that, Harmon amusingly offered, “I mean retirement is a big goal for me.
That’s a long way off though, and for now Harmon’s resisting giving into it. Instead, he’s favored “modularity,” which he understandably likens to crack. “Every crack rock should get you just as high as the other rocks. You shouldn’t have to like smoke crack rock number one before number three, and there should of course never be a final crack rock plan. It just happens.”have gone through just about everything in the book, and then some. The cast finds this very refreshing though.
“Jerry’s had a connection with Rick that didn’t used to be there, And I think he knows deep down that there are times that he needs Rick for sure,” Parnell said of his character’s often adversarial relationship with his father-in-law. “And that Rick can be helpful, but you know, obviously it’s a hate-hate-love relationship. Mostly hate, but there’s a little bit of love there.”
Parnell shared that the “boundary-lessness of the show, and how far it can go, is always exciting.” Chalke doubled down further, saying, “It’s kind of a two-part experience, because you experienceon the page, but obviously it’s so different from any other job where you read it and have a pretty good idea of what a family sitting and eating dinner is gonna look like.” The dissonance between the expectation and the often twisted and absurd reality of the show makes it hit even harder.
