Before Rick and Morty Season 4 officially releases, fans will get their first glimpse of the series at the second annual Adult Swim Festival. The network will reveal an exclusive never-before-seen episode of the show to make it up with fans who waited for almost two years to see the new season.
The two-day event will take place on Friday, Nov. 15, until Saturday, Nov. 16, at the new Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles. Deadline reported Rick and Morty Season 4 screening would be on the second day.
Fans are definitely up on a big treat as Adult Swim Festival will also hold "one-of-a-kind, 360-degree fan experience attractions." There will also be other features like a Robot Chicken Intergalactic Power Summit, Squidbillies 10 Man Bunkhouse Stampede, and talk with Genndy Tartakovsky. Also, there will be exclusive talent appearances, panels, meet and greets, merchandise, games, and more.

Meanwhile, GameSpot reported there would be more Rick and Morty on the way after Adult Swim renewed the show for almost 70 episodes. However, it seems like it will be divided into more seasons as Rick and Morty Season 4 is only predicted to have 13 episodes.
Co-creator Dan Harmon wanted Rick and Morty Season 4 to have 14 episodes - Season 2 and 3 had ten episodes each, while Season 1 had 11. Season 3 was supposed to have 14 episodes, but Harmon and his team feared that the animated series' quality would suffer if they extended its story.
So, the 70-episode order may be for future seasons. The series creators even confirmed the news when they revealed there would be lesser waiting time between the releases of next installments.
"I think we'll be able to move a little quicker. We're not going to have these big, long gaps between seasons," co-creator Justin Roiland told the publication last year. "We're going just to keep the machine going and schedule staggering vacations for people, so we don't burn out. It's going just to be a perpetual production, which is exciting."
ScreenRant added contract issues are the reason behind the long wait for renewals. So, the 70-episode order will ensure there will be more Rick and Morty seasons to come in the next years. Rick and Morty Season 4 is also set to be out in November on Adult Swim.
