A Rick and Morty Movie is Happening! Jacob Hair Confirmed to Direct

Get ready, Rick and Morty fans, because a feature film is officially in the works! Co-creator Dan Harmon and showrunner Scott Marder just dropped the bombshell: a movie is happening, and series veteran Jacob Hair will direct it. This isn't just a leak; it's a confirmed reality.

Harmon and Marder are practically gushing over Hair, calling him an "absolute rock star." As the supervising director for the critically lauded ninth season, they credit him significantly for its success. For them, tapping Hair was a no-brainer, a dream choice over an outside hire. They genuinely believe his creative talents are boundless.

Even voice actors Ian Cardoni (Rick) and Harry Belden (Morty) are buzzing. They highlight the incredible creative freedom the Rick and Morty universe offers for a film. Literally anything can happen, they say, meaning the movie could be epic, game-changing, or both. The format—theatrical or streaming—is still a mystery, but the narrative potential is limitless.

Back in the animated series, Season 9 keeps delivering. Following a canon-busting premiere and a deep dive into Rick’s mind, the upcoming episode S09E04, “A Ricker Runs Through It,” teases a potential confrontation with Rick’s notorious drinking problem. But with this season's track record of surprises, bets are off on how it will play out.
