In another dimension, Rick and Morty was one of those shows that probably lasted for only a single season, leaving its fans desperately trying to convince everyone that they'd missed out on something special. Thankfully, the series drew a decent-sized audience during its first season and has gone on to become a phenomenon. 

Early on, the wait for new episodes was agonising but Adult Swim's decision to order an additional seven seasons - totalling 70 episodes - ensured the show was here to stay and that its creative team had to, in the nicest way possible, hurry up a little. 

That's a challenge co-creator Dan Harmon has happily tackled head-on and The Hollywood Reporter confirms that the next two seasons have mostly been written. Justin Roiland's departure has led to a decrease in drama behind the scenes (even though "soundalikes" have since been cast as the title characters) and showrunner Scott Marder is now overseeing the series and ensuring it has some much-needed structure. 

Talking to the trade, Harmon says Rick and Morty may well run for 100 seasons because, in his eyes, "it's designed to." He does, however, have an ending in mind.

"It would maybe just be Morty turning 15 and finding a girlfriend that actually makes him want to be an independent person, so everything is kind of destroyed because Morty just wants to be a teenager now and start to grow up," he says. "Yeah, maybe Morty’s 15th birthday would be the catastrophic sinking of that Titanic."

And with that, the wacky adventures would end! We're sure this isn't exactly how Rick and Morty will eventually wrap up but it is interesting to hear Harmon's thoughts on what a series finale could look like. 

With any luck, the show is here to stay for the foreseeable future, anyway!

Adult Swim previously shared episode titles and synopses for season 7, and while they don't reveal much, it sounds like we're in for a fun 10 episodes. 

"How Poopy Got His Poop Back" – Broh, Come Out With Us, You're Being So Boring Dude
"The Jerrick Trap" – Gotta be mindful Broh, big brain stuff here. 
"Air Force Wong" – Virigina is For Lovers Broh
"That's Amorte" – Broh, That's-A Some Good Spaghetti
"Unmortricken" – Rick And Morty Wilding Out, Broh. They getting up to stuff.
"Rickfending Your Mort" – Gotta keep those receipts, Dawg. 
"Wet Kuat Amortican Summer" – High School, Broh. Morty and Summer hang out in this one.
"Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie" – Action! Adventure! It's a whole movie, Broh!
"Mort: Ragnarick" – Heaven is for real, Broh. I saw it, Broh, I swear.
"Fear no Mort" -Only thing to fear is fear itself, Broh.

"Rick and Morty are back and sounding more like themselves than ever!" reads the synopsis for the show's return. "It's season seven, and the possibilities are endless: What's up with Jerry? EVIL Summer?! And will they ever go back to the high school?! Maybe not! But let's find out!"

"There's probably less piss than last season," it comically continues. "'Rick and Morty,' 100 years! Or at least until season 10!"

Rick and Morty season 7 premieres on Adult Swim on October 15.
