‘Rick and Morty’ Showrunner Reveals Season 6 Episodes Are More “self-aware” and Justifies Their Approach to Callbacks

What happens when Back to the Future takes a twisted dark turn? You get Rick and
Morty. As oversimplified as that statement may be, we cannot wait for more of
the intergalactic escapades of the grandfather-grandson duo. Rick and Morty
season 6 is all set to premiere on Adult Swim on September 4. With the release
almost upon us, one of the showrunners gave some insight into the approach they
took this season.

Season 5 took the show to a whole other level as we finally saw some
repercussions of Rick and Morty’s misadventures. Now that the evil Morty has
broken through the Central Finite Curve

and destroyed the Citadels of Ricks, the audience is very curious to know the
turn this mind-bending tale would take. There are definitely talks about the
Rick and Morty [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/rick-and-morty/] season 6
reexamining some of the previous narratives and seeing them through. Let’s find
out together what this actually entails.

SCOTT MARDER ON RICK AND MORTY SEASON 6

Scott Marder became a part of the Rick and Morty creative team during the fourth
season. In a recent interview with Inverse, the host asked the showrunner to
shed some light about “revisiting various dangling plot threads” from older
seasons. Marder illustrated

that writers often develop a personal interest in a few “characters and pieces
of previous episodes.”

While most of the season 5 episodes were “standalone,” the creators “wanted to
move forward and tweak the show so there’s a little bit more
interconnectivity.” Their aim this time is to create episodes that “feel more
self-aware.” The writers are also keen on readdressing some of the discarded
plot points and story ideas. Some of this was part of the Rick and Morty ethos,
especially in the first three seasons of the genre-bending animated show.

Creators are looking to conceptualize a larger serialized narrative. Marder
further explains as “fans of the show as well,” they are “excited to pick up
those really cool threads and nurture them.” If this means more inside jokes

witty, self-referential, and the quintessential meta storytelling for Rick and
Morty season 6, consider us on board and ready to sail.
