00:00Rick and Morty fans, get ready for more of this...

00:02Wubba lubba dub dub!

00:04...and this...

00:04Oh, I'm Mr. Meethix! Look at me!

00:06...and this...

00:07I'm Pickle Rick!

00:09The schwiftiest show around just scored a massive 70-episode renewal deal from Adult Swim.

00:15The order is for more than double the count of episodes Rick and Morty has already produced to date,

00:20and is described as a long-term deal. However, a time frame for the release of those episodes

00:25has not been revealed. Co-creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon have space

00:30out the release of previous seasons, waiting as long as two years between runs.

00:34Now, it was pretty much a given that the cult cartoon would be renewed for additional episodes,

00:39but the extent of this new pact is quite unexpected.

00:42If Roiland and Harmon maintain anything close to their current production schedule,

00:46the show could be on the air for as long as another decade.

00:49And this would give the cartoon's creators plenty of time to cover Rick's true series arc.

00:54I want my McNugget, tipping sauce, Szechuan sauce, Morty.

00:57That's what's gonna take us all the way to the end, Morty.

00:59Season nine more seasons, Morty.

01:01Rick and Morty is Adult Swim's flagship show.

01:03It ranked as TV's number one comedy, cable or broadcast, among millennials in 2017.

01:09With adults 18-24 and 18-34, it topped The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family and Saturday Night Live.

01:15Another 70 episodes will give Rick and Morty a whopping 101 episodes total.

01:20That's one past the once magic number for syndication.

01:23And in even more exciting news for fans, Adult Swim is celebrating the deal by rolling out a multi-city pop-up

01:30called the Rickmobile.

01:32The tour kicks off May 17 in Atlanta before making its way to San Diego Comic Con in July.
