From Pickle Rick to the Lighthouse Keeper, Roiland and Harmon discussed the process in which some of the most out-of-this-world concepts make it into the final cut of the show. “It’s like we’re laughing, we’re crying, but we’re like ‘okay no but seriously, we can’t have a second act where they go and sit listening to an old man in a lighthouse read a screenplay,’” Roiland said. “Like, come on, let’s really fucking figure out this second act here… and then we just kept on going back to the lighthouse. Like, we would talk for 10 minutes about other ways it could go, and then it would just continue to circle around back to the Lighthouse Keeper, for no other reason than it was just fun and we were just laughing and in the moment.”
Perhaps one of the most interesting bits of information Roiland and Harmon provided was the list of guest stars that can be expected to make appearances in the upcoming season of “Rick and Morty,” which included Thomas Middleditch, Susan Sarandon, Danny Trejo, Christian Slater, Joel McHale, Peter Serafinowicz, and Gillian Jacobs. Harmon also said that Keith David will be coming back to reprise his role as the GD president of the mf’ing United States.
Other highlights:
Between the slew of celebrity guests and the promise of anarchist/nihilistic themes, Roiland and Harmon have us convinced that Season 3 of “Rick and Morty” is sure to be one of the best we’ve seen yet.
Season 3 of “Rick and Morty” premieres Sunday, July 30, at 11:30 p.m. on Adult Swim.
