RICK AND MORTY SEASON 5 WAS THE TOUGHEST FOR JUSTIN ROILAND AND THE TEAM

The conversation was facilitated by IGN

During their conversation, the producer confessed that Rick and Morty season
five was strange since it was the team’s first after a heartbreaking loss.

“Season 5 was a weird one. We lost [J. Michael] Mendel. It was tough we were
thrown for a loop. That was… yeah. If I talk anymore, I’ll start crying,” he
said.

Mendel was an important member of the show’s staff for those unfamiliar with the
name. The line producer controlled the majority of Rick and Morty‘s scripts.
Therefore, his untimely death in 2019 shocked the whole cast. Mendel’s work on
series such as The Simpsons and Solar Opposites gave him a sharp wit that fans
adored, and Roiland openly lamented the producer’s death alongside fans years
ago.

Season five has to have been challenging for the production staff. When the
current season of Rick and Morty [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/rick-and-morty/]
premiered, viewers had varied feelings. Roiland, on the other hand, is now
assuring supporters that the squad is back on track with season six. According
to recent sources, Adult Swim [https://www.adultswim.com] will premiere the
show’s sixth season in September, and the team is already working on future Rick
and Morty seasons behind the scenes.
