Overview
- Dan Harmon confirmed Tuesday that a Rick & Morty feature is in development and named supervising series director Jacob Hair as the film’s director, with multiple industry outlets reporting Warner Bros. involvement.
- The project is in early development and has not released plot details, credited writers, a production timeline, or whether it will be a theatrical release or go straight to streaming.
- Jacob Hair has directed many of the series’ most noted episodes and serves as supervising director, a role Harmon said made him the natural choice to preserve the show’s visual style and comedic rhythm.
- The announcement arrives as the TV series readies Season 9 and remains contracted through Season 12, with a separate President Curtis spinoff also in development, meaning the film will be developed alongside ongoing TV production.
- Creators have discussed treating the film as a ‘supersized episode’ roughly 90 minutes long to make the movie accessible to casual viewers, and Hair’s attachment could shift his duties on the series as the feature moves forward.
