Rick and Morty Co-Creator Hypes Evil Morty's Comeback

Rick and Morty Season 6 has kicked off with the introduction of a major new villain to the series and had fans wanting more of Evil Morty, but thankfully one of the creators behind the series has revealed that Evil Morty will indeed be coming back to the series! There's just a bit of a catch as the series continues to evolve and explore new avenues. The sixth season of the series has fleshed out the final pieces of Rick's tragic origin story first seen in the third season of the series, and with it Rick and Morty is getting ready for a whole new antagonist.

The fifth season of the series ended with Evil Morty enacting his grand plan of escaping from the Central Finite Curve, and this had fans wondering about what that would mean for the rest of the series after such a dramatic change to the multiverse. The immediate change is Rick Prime's full introduction to the series, but series co-creator Dan Harmon revealed that this has not been the last we have seen Evil Morty as he will appear again someday. But it might take a while for that to actually happen.

Speaking with Variety about Season 6's premiere, Rick and Morty series co-creator Dan Harmon revealed that we'll see more of Evil Morty after that massive cliffhanger, "You will definitely be seeing him again," Harmon began before tempering fans' expectations about when exactly that return could happen. "I caution that we may not be seeing him soon. He's an easy guy to forget about because he kind of took care of himself."

But while Harmon can confirm Evil Morty's return, the team's currently working on future seasons of the series already and might not be back on the table for a while. "He just wanted to get beyond the Central Finite Curve," Harmon explained. "But we've written Season 7 and we're working on Season 8 right now — that's the only way for us to be able to stay on schedule — so I can say with 100% certainty that Evil Morty is coming back, but I can't give a schedule on that."
