Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland delves into the Season 6 release and discusses his work relationship with Dan Harmon.

“I don’t like to work”: ‘Rick and Morty’ Creator Compares His Philosophy With Real Life Rick

One of the whackiest, yet most loved Adult Swim creations, Rick and Morty, did
not have the best season 5. With the sudden and tragic loss of their line
producer J. Michael Mendel, the team was understandably a bit out of sorts.
Despite fan backlash, the last season gave us some mind-bending, high-concept,
and fun episodes, in quintessential Rick and Morty style. Now, with season 6 all
set to premiere, co-creator Justin Roiland opened up a little about the process
and his work relationship with Dan Harmon.


IS DAN HARMON RICK IN REAL LIFE?

In a previous interview with GQ, Justin Roiland, co-creator of Rick and Morty
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/rick-and-morty/], had compared Dan Harmon with
the genius, yet eccentric Rick. “There’s a lot of Dan in Rick,” said
[https://www.gq.com/story/dan-harmon-rick-and-morty-profile] Roiland, about the
two “God-defying narcissists.” Justin even added that he’s “accidentally started
calling Dan ‘Rick.’ While he agrees that “There’s definitely a world of
difference between them (Rick and Dan). But Dan does—maybe subconsciously, maybe
purposefully—tap into some of the darkness he’s got in him.”

In a recent interview with IGN, when asked about his working relationship with
co-creator Dan Harmon, Roiland expressed
[https://www.ign.com/articles/rick-and-morty-co-creator-says-season-5-was-a-weird-one-promises-season-6-will-be-fcking-amazing],
“It’s good.” He did, however, cite the differences in their work philosophies.
“I don’t like to work“, said Roiland. On the other hand, “His (Harmon’s)
philosophy is perfection,” according to Justin. Did Justin Roiland just compare
himself to Morty? We might never know.

JUSTIN ROILAND ON RICK AND MORTY SEASON 6

What started as a quirky parody/homage to Back to the Future, Rick and Morty is
now its own beast. Yet, co-creator Roiland fondly reminisces the first two
seasons of the show and the “silliness and fun that was happening in the
creative process.” He also admitted that later seasons didn’t stray wild and
were slightly more formal. 



Talking about season 6, Roiland is absolutely thrilled. It will pick up right
where they left it off in the finale, but “it’s a bit more canonical.” He even
promises a payoff for the avid supporters of the show.

Justin Roiland’s optimism for the latest season sure is infectious and we cannot
wait for season 6 to air. It will “premiere globally and across the multiverse”
on September 4, 2022. Till then, why don’t you re-watch the previous seasons on
Netflix [https://www.netflix.com/in/title/80014749] and let us know your
predictions for season 6?
