Up to 7 more seasons. The RickMobile is touring the US for several weeks to sell shit.

Described as a "long-term deal," albeit without any announced time frame, the order is for more than double the count of episodes Rick and Morty has already produced to date. Co-creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon have been especially precious about the comedy, spacing out seasons and waiting as long as two years before the most recent run aired.

Rick and Morty is the de facto flagship of Adult Swim, Cartoon Network's youth-skewing cable sibling. It ranked as TV's No. 1 comedy, cable or broadcast, among millennials in 2017. With adults 18-24 and 18-34, the show topped The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family and Saturday Night Live.

I'm not sure a 70 episode commitment was a good idea. I'm not even sure they have made a 70 episode commitement. There has to be clauses in the contract that cartoon netowrk can pull out if the ratings of the show start to tank. I would like to get back to 14 to 15 episode seasons. I'm not thrilled with a lot of TV shows following the 10 episode season format.
