Dan Harmon Confirms Rick and Morty Movie, Names Jacob Hair as Director

The early move expands a still-growing Adult Swim franchise that remains active on TV.

Overview

  • Harmon confirmed Tuesday that a feature is in the works and identified supervising director Jacob Hair to lead it after reports surfaced from The InSneider.
  • Warner Bros. is in early development on the film, and no plot, credited screenwriter, or release plan has been announced.
  • Harmon has outlined a format that plays like a higher-budget, 90-minute episode rather than a dramatic shift in tone.
  • Hair is a longtime creative leader on the series, which positions the movie to match the show’s look and humor.
  • The franchise continues on television with season 9 next and renewals through season 12, plus a President Curtis spinoff in development.
