Rick and Morty's executive producer promises fans will be "rewarded" by Season 5's big finale! Following an extended hiatus after the premiere of the eighth episode, Rick and Morty will soon be returning to Adult Swim for the final two episodes of the fifth season. The fifth season overall has been divisive in some areas, but the eighth episode teased that we'll be seeing more canonical shifts introduced to the franchise compared to the more episodic adventures of the past episodes in the season. The executive producer and showrunner behind the season is well aware of this as well.
