Rumor: Rick and Morty Secretly Confirmed for 10 More Seasons with an AI-Powered Co-Writer

Verdict: FALSE

A viral post circulating on social media claims that Adult Swim has signed a massive, unannounced contract for 10 additional seasons of Rick and Morty, with the show’s writing team set to be supplemented by a proprietary “AI co-writer” named “MORTY-1.” The post alleges the AI was trained on every episode and unused Justin Roiland voice clips to ensure “tonal consistency.”

The Reality: No legitimate source—including Adult Swim, Warner Bros. Discovery, or showrunner Dan Harmon—has announced this. The post originated from a satirical Facebook page called “Pickle Rick’s News Network” and includes a fabricated “quote” from Harmon: “Rick doesn’t need a co-pilot, but his show might.” While Season 8 is confirmed and in production, there is no 10-season deal, and Harmon has publicly stated that no AI is involved in the writing process, calling the rumor “a dangerous, anti-art fever dream.”

Verdict: This is FAKE. The image of the “leaked contract” is a photoshopped clip from an older Disney+ deal announcement. Always check official sources before sharing.
