Rick and Morty Co-Creator Shares Thoughts on More Space Beth in Season 6 (Exclusive)
Rick and Morty Season 6 has been one of the more notably different runs of the series in quite some time for its attention to the overall serialization, and one of the co-creators behind it all opened up about bringing more of Space Beth into the series with this new season! When she was first introduced at the end of the fourth season, only to be largely ignored during the fifth season, it was a welcome surprise to see that Space Beth would be playing more of a key role in the series during Season 6. Then this all paid off in a big way.
Rick and Morty Season 6 is returning to Adult Swim with its final episodes beginning on Sunday, November 20th and to celebrate ComicBook.com got a chance to speak with series co-creator (and voice behind much of the characters) Justin Roiland about the shake ups for the new season so far. Asking about Space Beth's inclusion to the family fold with this new season, Roiland feels like it's been "fresh and exciting" to see this new character shake up the dynamic in big ways.
Adding More Space Beth in Rick and Morty Season 6
"I think one of the really cool things is just being able to play with the Space Beth and the Family Beth and bringing them together," Roiland began. "[H]aving Space Beth become a part of this family has been really exciting and fun and feels fresh and interesting." Talking towards the big romance between the two Beths that we see play out in Season 6, Roiland noted, "Obviously, we really elevated that relationship and that whole plot line this season in a really interesting and fun way. It's been fun to play and play with the family in that way."

Seeing all of the family take on more of the episodic adventures as a full unit has been one of the big things fans have loved about the new season thus far, and hopefully that continues as Rick and Morty Season 6 continues with new episodes this weekend.
