Because of the amount of creative freedom that Sano had for the project, it’s not exactly a question of how to continue the story but choosing exactly want to do from the many possible options. 

Will Rick and Morty: The Anime Get a Season 2?

It’s far too early to tell whether or not Rick and Morty: The Anime will get a second season, but executive producer Joseph Chou said the following about Sano’s desire to return for more episodes, “Yeah, he has a lot of things that he actually wants to do, if he’s given the opportunity to do another one. So [the] hard part is not what to make, it’s like, what to do. Like, what can I do? It’s really hard part is what do I choose in terms of the things that I wanna do? Because it’s just the kind of freedom that’s given to do the show. It’s just incredible. So yeah, he would love that opportunity. Hopefully, fans will love it and we’ll get the call to do another one.”
