The Emmy-winning meta-comedy was renewed for 80 episodes in 2018. Season 4 had the usual ten episodes, which means that 70 more episodes are left. Season 5 is expected to have the usual ten episodes as well. This means that the remaining episodes will push the series to the 10th Season, at least.
This is real world meta, as the fourth-wall-breaking and self-aware character Rick Sanchez (in Season 3 Episode 1 - “The Rickshank Rickdemption”) said:
“If it takes nine seasons, I want my McNugget dipping sauce, Szechuan sauce, Morty.” The character further added, “Nine more seasons until I get that dipping Szechuan sauce. What is that? For 97 more years, Morty! I want that McNugget sauce, Morty.”
