Dan Harmon Confirms Rick and Morty Feature Film With Jacob Hair Directing

The film will expand a typical adventure to about 90 minutes without changing the show's tone.

Overview

  • Co-creator Dan Harmon confirmed Tuesday to CinemaBlend that a feature-length Rick and Morty movie is in development.
  • The on-record confirmation followed Monday's online leak that first surfaced the project.
  • Harmon said the plan is a bigger-budget, roughly 90‑minute story that plays like a single "super badass" episode rather than a tonal reboot.
  • Supervising director Jacob Hair will helm the film, drawing on work since season 4 that includes several standout episodes.
  • Key details such as release date, production timeline, distributor, and story placement remain unannounced as season 9 approaches a May 24 premiere on Adult Swim.
