Rick and Morty: The Anime Episode Count Confirmed

Rick and Morty is gearing up for a full anime spin-off series now in the works for Adult Swim, and one of the executive producers behind it confirmed how many episodes Rick and Morty: The Anime will be sticking around for! With Rick and Morty becoming one of the biggest original animated series on Adult Swim, the franchise has been experimenting with anime in the last couple of years. Some of these shorts were so successful with fans, in fact, that now one of the directors behind these shorts is taking up a full new anime series inspired by Rick and Morty. 

Rick and Morty: The Anime was first announced to be in the works for Adult Swim last year, and revealed that it has been ordered for ten episodes at the time. Things have changed quite a lot in many ways over the last year, but thankfully Rick and Morty: The Anime's episode order has not. Executive producer for the series, Jason DeMarco (and Senior VP, Anime and Action Series/Longform at Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios) confirmed when asked by a fan on Twitter that Rick and Morty: The Anime will indeed be ten episodes.
