'Rick and Morty' scores 70-episode orderLos Angeles, May 11 (AZINS) Popular animated series "Rick and Morty" has been renewed for another 70 episodes.

Cable network Adult Swim has announced the renewal order, which is a part of a new long-term deal the network has signed with series creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, reports variety.com.

The series follows a sociopathic genius scientist Rick who drags his inherently timid grandson Morty on insanely dangerous adventures across the multi-verse. The new deal will more than double the amount of episodes the series has currently aired.

Harmon and Roiland announced they were going back to work on the series in a video posted on Roiland and Harmon's Instagram accounts, which featured the comic pair showering together in Harmon's home.
