Ryan Ridley has a pretty straightforward message for Rick and Morty creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland.
"Get your shit together, you guys!"
Ridley, a writer for the show, appeared on The Detroit Cast and talked about how season 4 isn't exactly on the fast track. He said new episodes won't be coming anytime soon:
"As far as I know, no one is working on the show, I'm certainly not. So I don't know what's going on, I haven't heard anything. Yeah, they really take their time, I've never understood why everybody...didn't get their sh*t together and make the show fast, I just don't get it."
While this isn't encouraging news for fans, Ridley later said that he thinks a new season is coming at some point.
"I'd be surprised if there was a fourth season on the air any sooner than 2019, late 2019."
Ridley has been involved with the show since the first episode, voicing Frank, the bully Rick freezes when he pulls Morty out of school. He even worked with Justin Roiland on The Grandma's Virginity Podcast before Rick and Morty came along.
He also talked about the challenges of trying to come up with original ideas when there are so many other shows out there.
"It's hard. You basically have to keep mutating the idea until it's a different enough species that people go like, 'Oh, I didn't even think of that."
Maybe next year we'll see if all the time the showrunners are taking results in some fresh, new ideas.
