When it comes to Rick and Morty, anything is possible. The hit animated series has become a pop culture phenomenon, and its future is endless. With its seventh season, Adult Swim fans have rightly begun to wonder whether Rick and Morty might ever make it to the big screen. And according to co-creator Dan Harmon, the show very well could.

The information comes from Harmon himself, as the co-creator conducted an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that was just published. This is where the writer and co-creator of Rick and Morty talked about the animated series. During the interview, Harmon admitted that he had a number of “series of conversations” with the Warner Bros. team. Discovery on the Rick and Morty movie before the WGA and SAG-AFTRA went on strike.
Harmon didn’t say much about the plot, but he did say that studio executives were interested in creating something of a super episode for theaters. You can think of the movie South Park as an example of what a Rick and Morty movie could emulate. Of course, talks about the film stalled when Hollywood initiated a series of strikes, but the discussion may resume once the picket lines calm down.
Of course, Adult Swim is no stranger to the film treatment of its best original series. Last year, both Aqua Teen Hunger Force and The Venture Bros. received their own films. By now, other IPs such as Metalocalypse have also received their own films. Rick and Morty is definitely popular enough to spawn its own feature film, but Harmon and the show’s team want to get its story right. So if Warner Bros. Discovery is still interested, hopefully Rick Sanchez will get a chance to take over the theaters in the near future.
Anything for now?
In the meantime, Rick and Morty fans can always turn their attention to the show itself. As a reminder, Rick and Morty Season 7 is scheduled to premiere on Adult Swim on Sunday, October 15 at 11 a.m. ET/PT. In Poland, the premiere is a day later on HBO Max. At this time, it has been announced that they are not planning any major breaks or interruptions like previous seasons, so fans will be able to enjoy the episodes for the rest of the year after the season premieres in October!
