Succession to the British throne - wikipedia Succession to the British throne Jump to : navigation , search The Sovereign 's Throne in the House of Lords , from which the speech is delivered at State Openings of Parliament Succession to the British throne is determined by descent , gender ( for people born before October 2011 ) , legitimacy , and religion . Under common law , the Crown is inherited by a sovereign 's children or by a childless sovereign 's nearest collateral line . The Bill of Rights 1689 and the Act of Settlement 1701 , restrict succession to the throne to the legitimate Protestant descendants of Sophia of Hanover that are in `` communion with the Church of England '' . Spouses of Roman Catholics were disqualified from 1689 until the law was amended in 2015 . Protestant descendants of those excluded for being Roman Catholics are eligible . Queen Elizabeth II is the sovereign , and her heir apparent is her eldest son , Charles , Prince of Wales . Next in line after him is Prince William , Duke of Cambridge , the Prince of Wales 's elder son . Third in line is Prince George , the son of the Duke of Cambridge , followed by his sister , Princess Charlotte . Fifth in line is Prince Henry of Wales , the younger son of the Prince of Wales . Sixth in line is Prince Andrew , Duke of York , the Queen 's second - eldest son . Any of the first six in line marrying without the sovereign 's consent would be disqualified from succession . The first four individuals in the line of succession who are over 21 , and the sovereign 's consort , may be appointed Counsellors of State . Counsellors of State perform some of the sovereign 's duties in the United Kingdom while he or she is out of the country or temporarily incapacitated . Otherwise , individuals in the line of succession need not have specific legal or official roles . The United Kingdom is one of the 16 Commonwealth realms . Each of those countries has the same person as monarch and the same order of succession . In 2011 , the prime ministers of the realms agreed unanimously to adopt a common approach to amending the rules on the succession to their respective Crowns so that absolute primogeniture would apply for persons born after the date of the agreement , instead of male - preference primogeniture , and the ban on marriages to Roman Catholics would be lifted , but the monarch would still need to be in communion with the Church of England . After the necessary legislation had been enacted in accordance with each realm 's constitution , the changes took effect on 26 March 2015 .

The exact number , in remoter collateral lines , of the persons who would be eligible is uncertain . In 2001 genealogist William Addams Reitwiesner compiled a list of 4,973 living descendants of the Electress Sophia in order of succession , but did so disregarding Roman Catholic status . When updated in January 2011 , the number was more than five thousand . The annotated list below covers the first part of this line of succession , being limited to descendants of the sons of George V ( the present Queen 's grandfather ) . Persons named in italics are unnumbered either because they are deceased or because sources report them to be excluded from the succession .

( May 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The current succession law in the United Kingdom evolved from succession law in both England and Scotland . Originally in both countries , there were no fixed rules governing succession to the throne . The individual could have relied on inheritance , statute , election ( by Parliament or by another body ) , nomination ( by a reigning sovereign in his or her will ) , conquest or prescription ( de facto possession of the Crown ) . It was often unclear which of these bases should take precedence ; often , the outcome depended not on the legal strength of the claims , but on the political or military power of the claimants . However , over time , the default rule became male primogeniture : later monarchs coming to the throne by exception to this rule went to great lengths to explain and justify going against these rules , and to prove their rivals illegitimate . Eventually , Parliament asserted control of succession . England ( edit ) The Coronation Chair constructed in 1296 , with the Stone of Scone visible beneath the seat , has been used at the coronation of English and British monarchs for 700 years . In 1485 , Henry Tudor , a female - line descendant of a legitimated branch of the royal house of Lancaster , the House of Beaufort , assumed the English crown as Henry VII , after defeating Richard III , who was killed at the battle of Bosworth when leading a charge against Henry 's standard . Richard was the last king of the House of York , and the last of the Plantagenet dynasty . Henry declared himself king retroactively from 21 August 1485 , the day before his victory over Richard at Bosworth Field , and caused Richard 's Titulus Regius to be repealed and expunged from the Rolls of Parliament . After Henry 's coronation in London in October that year , his first parliament , summoned to meet at Westminster in November , enacted that `` the inheritance of the crown should be , rest , remain and abide in the most royal person of the then sovereign lord , King Henry VII , and the heirs of his body lawfully coming . '' Henry VII was followed by his son , Henry VIII . Though his father descended from the Lancastrians , Henry VIII could also claim the throne through the Yorkist line , as his mother Elizabeth was the sister and heiress of Edward V. In 1542 Henry also assumed the title King of Ireland ; this would pass down with the monarchs of England , and later Great Britain , until the Acts of Union 1800 merged the separate crowns into that of the United Kingdom . Henry VIII 's numerous marriages led to several complications over succession . Henry VIII was first married to Catherine of Aragon , by whom he had a daughter named Mary . His second marriage , to Anne Boleyn , resulted in a daughter named Elizabeth . Henry VIII had a son , Edward , by his third wife , Jane Seymour . An Act of Parliament passed in 1533 declared Mary illegitimate ; another passed in 1536 did the same for Elizabeth . Though the two remained illegitimate , an Act of Parliament passed in 1544 allowed reinserting them , providing further `` that the King should and might give , will , limit , assign , appoint or dispose the said imperial Crown and the other premises ... by letters patent or last will in writing . '' Mary and Elizabeth , under Henry VIII 's will , were to be followed by descendants of the King 's deceased sister Mary Tudor , Duchess of Suffolk ( he however excluded his niece Frances Brandon , Duchess of Suffolk ) . This will also excluded from the succession the descendants of Henry 's eldest sister Margaret Tudor , who were the rulers of Scotland . Queen Elizabeth I enthroned in Parliament When Henry VIII died in 1547 , the young Edward succeeded him , becoming Edward VI . Edward VI was the first Protestant Sovereign to succeed to the rule of England . He attempted to divert the course of succession in his will to prevent his Catholic half - sister , Mary , from inheriting the throne . He excluded Mary and Elizabeth , settling on the Duchess of Suffolk 's daughter , Lady Jane Grey . Jane was also originally excluded on the premise that no woman could reign over England . Nonetheless , the will , which originally referred to Jane 's heirs - male , was amended to refer to Jane and her heirs - male . Upon Edward VI 's death in 1553 , Jane was proclaimed Queen of England . She was not universally recognised and after nine days she was overthrown by the popular Mary . As Henry VIII 's will had been approved by an Act of Parliament in 1544 , Edward 's contravening will was unlawful and ignored . Mary was succeeded by her half - sister , Elizabeth , who broke with the precedents of many of her predecessors , and refused to name an heir . Whilst previous monarchs ( including Henry VIII ) had specifically been granted authority to settle uncertain successions in their wills , the Treasons Act 1571 asserted that Parliament had the right to settle disputes , and made it treason to deny Parliamentary authority . Wary of threats from other possible heirs , Parliament further passed the Act of Association 1584 , which provided that any individual involved in attempts to murder the Sovereign would be disqualified from succeeding . ( The Act was repealed in 1863 . ) Scotland ( edit ) The House of Stewart ( later Stuart ) had ruled in Scotland since 1371 . It had followed strict rules of primogeniture until the deposition and exile of Mary I in 1567 ; even then she was succeeded by her son , James VI . After the Union of the Crowns ( edit ) Stuarts ( edit ) Elizabeth I of England was succeeded by King James VI of Scotland , her first cousin twice removed , even though his succession violated Henry VIII 's will , under which Lady Anne Stanley , heiress of Mary Tudor , Duchess of Suffolk , was supposed to succeed . James asserted that hereditary right was superior to statutory provision , and as King of Scotland was powerful enough to deter any rival . He reigned as James I of England , thus effecting the Union of the Crowns , although England and Scotland remained separate sovereign states until 1707 . His succession was rapidly ratified by Parliament . center James 's eldest surviving son and successor , Charles I , was overthrown and beheaded in 1649 . The monarchy itself was abolished . A few years later , it was replaced by the Protectorate under Oliver Cromwell , effectively a monarch with the title of Lord Protector rather than King . Cromwell had the right to name his own successor , which he exercised on his deathbed by choosing his son , Richard Cromwell . Richard was ineffective , and was quickly forced from office . Shortly afterwards , the monarchy was restored , with Charles I 's son Charles II as King . After the death of her last child in 1700 , Princess Anne became the last individual left in the line of succession determined by the Bill of Rights . James II and VII , a Roman Catholic , followed his brother Charles II , despite efforts in the late 1670s to exclude him in favour of Charles 's illegitimate Protestant son , the Duke of Monmouth . James was deposed when his Protestant opponents forced him to flee from England in 1688 . Parliament then deemed that James had , by fleeing the realms , abdicated the thrones and offered the Crowns not to the King 's infant son James but to his Protestant daughter Mary and to her husband William , who as James 's nephew was the first person in the succession not descended from him . The two became joint Sovereigns ( a unique circumstance in British history ) as William III of England and Ireland ( and II of Scotland ) and Mary II of England , Scotland and Ireland . William had insisted on this unique provision as a condition of his military leadership against James . The English Bill of Rights passed in 1689 determined succession to the English , Scottish and Irish Thrones . First in the line were the descendants of Mary II . Next came Mary 's sister Princess Anne and her descendants . Finally , the descendants of William by any future marriage were added to the line of succession . Only Protestants were allowed to succeed to the Thrones , and those who married Roman Catholics were excluded . After Mary II died in 1694 , her husband continued to reign alone until his own death in 1702 . The line of succession provided for by the Bill of Rights was almost at an end ; William and Mary never had any children , and Princess Anne 's children had all died . Therefore , Parliament passed the Act of Settlement . The Act maintained the provision of the Bill of Rights whereby William would be succeeded by Princess Anne and her descendants , and thereafter by his own descendants from future marriages . The Act , however , declared that they would be followed by James I & VI 's granddaughter Sophia , Electress and Dowager Duchess of Hanover ( the daughter of James 's daughter Elizabeth Stuart ) , and her heirs . As under the Bill of Rights , non-Protestants and those who married Roman Catholics were excluded . Electress Sophia of Hanover ( 1630 -- 1714 ) Upon William 's death , Anne became Queen of England , Scotland and Ireland . Because the Parliament of England settled on Sophia , Electress of Hanover as Anne 's heir - presumptive without consulting Scottish leaders , the Estates of Scotland retaliated by passing the Scottish Act of Security . The Act provided that , upon the death of Anne , the Estates would meet to select an heir to the throne of Scotland , who could not be the same person as the English Sovereign unless numerous political and economic conditions were met . Anne originally withheld the Royal Assent , but was forced to grant it when the Estates refused to raise taxes and sought to withdraw troops from the Queen 's army . England 's Parliament responded by passing the Alien Act 1705 , which threatened to cripple Scotland 's economy by cutting off trade with them . Thus , Scotland had little choice but to unite with England to form the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707 ; the Crown of the new nation ( along with the Crown of Ireland ) was subject to the rules laid down by the English Act of Settlement . Hanoverians and windsors ( edit ) Benjamin Harris 's Protestant Tutor , a primer popular for decades and the source for the New England Primer . Edition of 1713 . Hanoverian propaganda extended to books for children 's education . Anne was predeceased by Sophia , Electress of Hanover , and was therefore succeeded by the latter 's son , who became George I in 1714 . Attempts were made in the risings of 1715 and 1745 to restore Stuart claimants to the Throne , supported by those who recognised the Jacobite succession . The House of Hanover nonetheless remained undeposed , and the Crown descended in accordance with the appointed rules . In 1801 , following the Acts of Union 1800 , the separate crowns of Great Britain and Ireland were merged and became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland . Between 1811 and 1820 , when George III was deemed unfit to rule , the Prince of Wales ( later George IV ) acted as his regent . Some years later the Regency Act 1830 made provision for a change in the line of succession had a child been born to William IV after his death , but this event did not come about . George VI receiving homage at his coronation in 1937 The succession was next called into doubt in 1936 , when Edward VIII abdicated in the same year as he succeeded to the throne immediately on his father 's death . Edward was proclaimed King in January 1936 , and mounted the throne in the House of Lords for the first and last time at the opening of Parliament in November 1936 , but he had not yet been crowned when he renounced the throne in December . Edward VIII had desired to marry Wallis Simpson , a divorcee , but the Church of England , of which the British Sovereign is Supreme Governor , would not authorise the marriage of divorcees . Consequently , Parliament passed His Majesty 's Declaration of Abdication Act 1936 , by which Edward VIII ceased to be Sovereign `` immediately upon '' his royal assent as King being signified in Parliament on 11 December . The Act provided that he and his descendants , if any , were not to have any `` right , title or interest in or to the succession to the Throne '' . ( In fact Edward died childless in 1972 . ) Edward 's abdication was `` a demise of the Crown '' ( in the words of the Act ) , and the Duke of York , his brother who was then next in the line , immediately succeeded to the throne and to its `` rights , privileges , and dignities '' , taking the regnal name George VI . He in turn was succeeded in 1952 by his own elder daughter , Elizabeth II . By that time the monarch of the United Kingdom no longer reigned in the greater part of Ireland ( which had become a republic in 1949 ) , but was the monarch of a number of independent sovereign states ( Commonwealth realms ) . Commonwealth realms , 20c. and after ( edit ) Further information : Perth Agreement Queen Elizabeth II at her coronation in 1953 Each of the Commonwealth realms has the same person as monarch and , to maintain that arrangement , they have agreed to continue the same line of succession ; some realms do so through domestic succession laws , while others stipulate whoever is monarch of the United Kingdom will also be monarch of that realm . In February 1952 , on her accession , Elizabeth II was proclaimed as sovereign separately throughout her realms . In October 2011 , the heads of government of all 16 realms agreed unanimously at a meeting held in Perth , Australia , to proposed changes to the royal succession laws that would see the order of succession for people born after 28 October 2011 governed by absolute primogeniture -- wherein succession passes to an individual 's children according to birth order , regardless of gender -- instead of male - preference primogeniture . They also agreed to lift a ban on those who marry Roman Catholics . The ban on Catholics themselves was retained to ensure that the monarch would be in communion with the Church of England . The changes came into effect across the Commonwealth realms on 26 March 2015 , after legislation was made according to each realm 's constitution . Following the changes coming into effect , the positions of the first 27 in line remained unchanged , including Princess Anne and her children and grandchildren , until the birth of Princess Charlotte of Cambridge on 2 May 2015 . The first to be affected by the changes , on the day they came into effect in March , were the children of Lady Davina Lewis -- her son Tāne ( born 2012 ) and her daughter Senna ( born 2010 ) -- who were reversed in the order of succession , becoming 29th and 28th in line respectively . Current rules ( edit ) The Bill of Rights and the Act of Settlement ( restated by the Acts of Union ) still govern succession to the throne . They were amended in the United Kingdom by the Succession to the Crown Act 2013 , which was passed mainly `` to make succession to the Crown not depend on gender '' and `` to make provision about Royal Marriages '' ( according to its long title ) , thereby implementing the Perth Agreement in the UK and in those realms that , by their laws , have as their monarch automatically whoever is monarch of the UK . Other realms passed their own legislation . Anyone ineligible to succeed is treated as if they were `` dead '' . That individual 's descendants are not also disqualified , unless they are personally ineligible . Marriages ( edit ) The Act of Settlement 1701 provides that Protestant `` heirs of the body '' ( that is , legitimate descendants ) of Sophia , Electress of Hanover , are eligible to succeed to the throne , unless otherwise disqualified . The meaning of heir of the body is determined by the common law rules of male preference primogeniture ( the `` male - preference '' criterion is no longer applicable , in respect of succession to the throne , to persons born after 28 October 2011 ) , whereby older children and their descendants inherit before younger children , and a male child takes precedence over a female sibling . Children born out of wedlock and adopted children are not eligible to succeed . Illegitimate children whose parents subsequently marry are legitimated , but remain ineligible to inherit the Crown . The Royal Marriages Act 1772 ( repealed by the Succession to the Crown Act 2013 ) further required descendants of George II to obtain the consent of the reigning monarch to marry . ( The requirement did not apply to descendants of princesses who married into foreign families , as well as , from 1936 , any descendants of Edward VIII , of which there are none . ) The Act provided , however , that if a dynast older than twenty - five years notified the Privy Council of his or her intention to marry without the consent of the Sovereign , then he or she may have lawfully done so after one year , unless both houses of Parliament expressly disapproved of the marriage . A marriage that contravened the Royal Marriages Act was void , and the resulting offspring illegitimate and thus ineligible to succeed , though the succession of the dynast who failed to obtain consent was not itself affected . This also had the consequence that marriage to a Roman Catholic without permission was void , so that the dynast was not disqualified from succeeding on account of being married to a Roman Catholic . Thus when the future George IV attempted to marry the Roman Catholic Maria Fitzherbert in 1785 without obtaining permission from George III he did not disqualify himself from inheriting the throne in due course . A marriage voided by the 1772 act prior to its repeal remains void `` for all purposes relating to the succession to the Crown '' under the 2013 act . The constitutional crisis arising from Edward VIII 's decision to marry a divorcee in 1936 led to His Majesty 's Declaration of Abdication Act 1936 , which provided that Edward VIII and his descendants would have no claim to the throne . The Act is no longer applicable , because Edward died in 1972 without issue . Under the 2013 Succession to the Crown Act , the first six persons in line to the throne must obtain the sovereign 's approval before marrying . Marriage without the Sovereign 's consent disqualifies the person and the person 's descendants from the marriage from succeeding to the Crown , but the marriage is still legally valid . Religion ( edit ) Rules relating to eligibility established by the Bill of Rights are retained under the Act of Settlement . The preamble to the Act of Settlement notes that the Bill of Rights provides `` that all and every person and persons that then ( at the time of the Bill of Right 's passage ) were , or afterwards should be reconciled to , or shall hold communion with the see or Church of Rome , or should profess the popish religion , or marry a papist , should be excluded . '' The Act of Settlement continues , providing `` that all and every Person and Persons who shall ... is , are or shall be reconciled to or shall hold Communion with the See or Church of Rome or shall profess the Popish religion or shall marry a papist shall be subject to such Incapacities '' as the Bill of Rights established . The precise meaning of the aforementioned clauses is subject to contention . Under one interpretation , the religion of an individual at the precise moment of succession is relevant . Under another interpretation , anyone who has been a Roman Catholic at any time since 1689 ( `` then ... or afterwards '' ) is forever ineligible to succeed . The former interpretation allows a Roman Catholic to convert to Protestantism and succeed to the Throne just before a vacancy on the throne occurs devolving the crown on the first dynast in the line of succession ; the latter does not . In either case , however , other denominations of faith are not affected ; it is clear that any non-Catholic may convert to Protestantism and succeed to the Throne . It is a requirement that the monarch must be a Protestant . The Act of Settlement further provided that anyone who married a Roman Catholic was ineligible to succeed . The Act did not require that the spouse be Protestant ; it only barred those who marry Roman Catholics . Since the passage of the Act it has been determined ( in the case of Prince Edward , Duke of Kent ) that an individual is not barred because his or her spouse later converts to Roman Catholicism after their marriage . The Succession to the Crown Act 2013 removed the bar on individuals married to Roman Catholics , though not on Roman Catholics themselves . Treason ( edit ) Under the Treason Act 1702 and the Treason ( Ireland ) Act 1703 , it is treason to `` endeavour to deprive or hinder any person who shall be the next in succession to the crown ... from succeeding ... to the imperial crown of this realm '' . Since the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 , the maximum penalty has been life imprisonment . Accession ( edit ) The Accession Council normally meets in St James 's Palace to proclaim the new sovereign . In the Commonwealth realms , upon the death of a sovereign , the heir apparent or heir presumptive succeeds to the throne immediately , with no need for confirmation or further ceremony . Nevertheless , the Accession Council meets and decides upon the making of the accession proclamation , which by custom has for centuries been ceremonially proclaimed in public places , in London , York , Edinburgh and other cities . The anniversary is observed throughout the sovereign 's reign as Accession Day , including royal gun salutes in the United Kingdom . Formerly , a new sovereign proclaimed his or her own accession . But on the death of Elizabeth I an Accession Council met to proclaim the accession of James I to the throne of England . James was then in Scotland and reigning as King James VI of Scotland . This precedent has been followed since . Now , the Accession Council normally meets in St James 's Palace . Proclamations since James I 's have usually been made in the name of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal , the Privy Council , the Lord Mayor , Aldermen and citizens of the City of London and `` other principal Gentlemen of quality '' , though there have been variations in some proclamations . The proclamation of accession of Elizabeth II was the first to make mention of representatives of members of the Commonwealth . Upon his or her accession , a new sovereign is required by law to make and subscribe several oaths . The Bill of Rights of 1689 first required the sovereign to make a public declaration of non-belief in Roman Catholicism . This declaration , known as the Accession Declaration , is required to be taken at either the first meeting of parliament of his or her reign ( i.e. during the State Opening of Parliament ) or at his or her coronation , whichever occurs first . The current wording of this declaration was adopted in 1910 as the previous wording was deemed to be controversial and overtly anti-Catholic . Rather than denouncing Roman Catholicism , the sovereign now declares him or herself to be a Protestant and that he or she will `` uphold and maintain '' the Protestant succession . In addition to the Accession Declaration , the new sovereign is required by the Acts of Union 1707 to make an oath to `` maintain and preserve '' the Church of Scotland . This oath is normally made at the sovereign 's first meeting of the Privy Council following his or her accession . According to the Regency Act 1937 , should the sovereign be under the age of 18 , such oaths and declarations required to be taken by the sovereign shall be made upon his attainment of that age . After a period of mourning , the new sovereign is usually consecrated and crowned in Westminster Abbey . Normally , the Archbishop of Canterbury officiates , though the sovereign may designate any other bishop of the Church of England . A coronation is not necessary for a sovereign to reign ; for example , Edward VIII was never crowned , yet during his short reign was the undoubted king .

The series follows the misadventures of cynical mad scientist Rick Sanchez and his fretful , easily influenced grandson Morty Smith , who split their time between domestic life and interdimensional adventures . The series premiered on December 2 , 2013 , and the third season concluded on October 1 , 2017 . A fourth season has been mentioned , first by Harmon in a September 2017 interview , and later in the post-credits scene of the third season 's finale . However , as of April 2018 , its future remains uncertain . Roiland voices the eponymous characters , with Chris Parnell , Spencer Grammer and Sarah Chalke voicing the rest of the family . The series originated from an animated short parody film of Back to the Future , The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti , created by Roiland for Channel 101 , a short film festival co-founded by Harmon . When Adult Swim approached Harmon for television show ideas , he and Roiland decided to develop a program based on the short . The series has received universal acclaim for its originality , creativity and humor .

From the left : Jerry Smith , Beth Smith , Summer Smith , Morty Smith and Rick Sanchez The show revolves around the adventures of the members of the Smith household , which consists of parents Jerry and Beth , their kids Summer and Morty , and Beth 's father , Rick Sanchez , who lives with them as a guest . According to Justin Roiland , the family lives outside of Seattle in the U.S. state of Washington . The adventures of Rick and Morty , however , take place across an infinite number of realities , with the characters travelling to other planets and dimensions through portals and Rick 's flying car . Rick is an eccentric and alcoholic mad scientist , who eschews many ordinary conventions such as school , marriage , love , and family . He frequently goes on adventures with his 14 - year - old grandson , Morty , a kind but easily distressed boy , whose naive but grounded moral compass plays counterpoint to Rick 's Machiavellian ego . Morty 's 17 - year - old sister , Summer , is a more conventional teenager , who worries about improving her status among her peers and sometimes follows Rick and Morty on their adventures . The kids ' mother , Beth , is a generally level - headed person and assertive force in the household , though self - conscious about her professional role as a horse doctor . She is dissatisfied with her marriage with Jerry , a simple - minded and insecure person , who disapproves of Rick 's influence over his family . Different versions of the characters inhabit other dimensions throughout the multiverse and their personal characteristics can vary from one reality to another . The show 's original Rick identifies himself as `` Rick Sanchez of Earth Dimension C - 137 '' , in reference to his original universe , but this does not necessarily apply to every other member of the Smith household . For instance , in the first - season episode `` Rick Potion # 9 '' , after turning the entire world population into monsters , Rick and Morty move to a different dimension , leaving Summer , Beth and Jerry behind . Production Development Creators Dan Harmon ( left ) and Justin Roiland Rick and Morty was created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon . The duo first met at Channel 101 , a non-profit monthly short film festival in Los Angeles co-founded by Harmon . At Channel 101 , participants submit a short film in the format of a pilot , and a live audience decides which pilots continue as a series . Roiland , then a producer on reality programming , began submitting content to the festival a year after its launch , in 2004 . His pilots typically consisted of shock value -- `` sick and twisted '' elements that received a confused reaction from the audience . Nevertheless , Harmon took a liking to his humor and the two began collaborating . In 2006 , Roiland was fired from working on a television series he regarded as intensely creatively stifling , and funneled his creative energies into creating a webisode for Channel 101 . The result was The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti , an animated short starring parodies of Doc Brown and Marty McFly , characters from the Back to the Future film trilogy . In the short , which Harmon would dub `` a bastardization , a pornographic vandalization '' , Doc Smith urges Mharti that the solution to all of his problems is to give him oral sex . The audience reacted to it wildly , and Roiland began creating more shorts involving the characters , which soon evolved beyond his original intentions and their obvious origin within the film from which it was culled . Harmon would later create and produce Community , an NBC sitcom , while Roiland would work primarily in voice acting for Disney 's Fish Hooks and Cartoon Network 's Adventure Time . In 2012 , Harmon was briefly fired from Community . Adult Swim , searching for a more prime - time , `` hit '' show , approached Harmon shortly afterward , who initially viewed the channel as unfit for his style . He also was unfamiliar with animation , and his process for creating television focuses more heavily on dialogue , characters , and story . Instead , he phoned Roiland to inquire if he had any ideas for an animated series . Roiland immediately brought up the idea of using the Doc and Mharti characters , renamed Rick and Morty . Roiland initially wanted the show 's run time to consist of one eleven - minute segment , but Adult Swim pushed for a half - hour program . Harmon felt the best way to extend the voices into a program would be to build a family around the characters , while Adult Swim development executive Nick Weidenfeld suggested that Rick be Morty 's grandfather . Having pitched multiple television programs that did not get off the ground , Roiland was initially very unreceptive to others attempting to give notes on his pitch . Prior to developing Rick and Morty , he had created three failed animated pilots for Fox , and he had begun to feel `` burned out '' with developing television . The first draft was completed in six hours on the Paramount Pictures lot in Dan Harmon 's unfurnished Community office . The duo had broken the story that day , sold the pilot , and then sat down to write . Roiland , while acknowledging a tendency for procrastination , encouraged Harmon to stay and write the entire first draft . `` We were sitting on the floor , cross-legged with laptops and I was about to get up and go home and he said , ' Wait , if you go home , it might take us three months to write this thing . Stay here right now and we can write it in six hours . ' He just had a premonition about that , '' recalled Harmon . Adult Swim was initially unsure of Roiland doing both voices , partially due to the undeveloped nature of the character of Morty . Harmon wrote four short premises in which Morty took a more assertive role and sent it to Mike Lazzo . Adult Swim placed a tamer TV - 14 rating on the program , which initially was met with reluctance from the show 's staff . The network 's reason behind the rating was that it would soon begin broadcasting in prime - time , competing with major programs . The main theme for Rick and Morty by Ryan Elder was originally used in a rejected Cartoon Network pilot Roiland made called `` Dog World '' , which was referenced in the episode `` Lawnmower Dog '' . Writing The general formula of Rick and Morty consists of the juxtaposition of two conflicting scenarios : an extremely selfish , alcoholic grandfather dragging his grandson along for intergalactic and / or interdimensional adventures , intercut with domestic family drama . This has led Harmon to describe the series as a cross between Matt Groening 's two shows The Simpsons and Futurama , balancing family life with heavy science fiction . The series is inspired by British - style storytelling , as opposed to traditional American family TV stories . Roiland has stated his and Harmon 's intentions for the series to lack traditional continuity , opting for discontinuous storylines `` not bound by rules '' . In producing the series ' first season , episodes were occasionally written out of order . For example , `` Rick Potion # 9 '' was the second episode written for the series , but was instructed to be animated as the fifth , as it would make more sense within the series ' continuity . Many episodes are structured with use of a story circle , a Harmon creation based largely on Joseph Campbell 's monomyth , or The Hero 's Journey . Its two - act structure places the act break at an odd location in the stages of the monomyth : after The Meeting with the Goddess , instead of Atonement with the Father . Harmon has stated that his inspiration behind much of the concept and humor for the series comes from various British television series , such as The Hitchhiker 's Guide to the Galaxy and Doctor Who . He figures that the audience will only understand developments from Morty 's point of view , but stated `` we do n't want to be the companions . We want to hang out with the Doctor , we idolize the Doctor , but we do n't think like him , and that 's really interesting , Rick is diseased , he 's mentally ill , he 's an absolute lunatic because he lives on this larger scale . '' Harmon has noted that the writers room at the show 's studio bears a striking resemblance to the one used for Community . In comparing the two , he noted that the writing staff of Rick and Morty was significantly smaller , and more `` rough and tumble verbally '' . The first season writing staff consisted of Roiland , Harmon , Tom Kauffman , Ryan Ridley , Wade Randolph , and Eric Acosta , while writer 's assistant Mike McMahan was also given writing credit . Described as a `` very , very tiny little writers ' room with a lot of heavy lifting from everybody , '' the show 's writing staff , like many Adult Swim productions , is not unionized with the Writers ' Guild of America . The writing staff first meets and discusses ideas , which evolve into a story . Discussions often include anecdotes from personal life as well as thoughts on the science fiction genre . After breaking the story -- which consists of developing its consistency and logical beginning , middle , and conclusion -- a writer is assigned to create an outline . Roiland and Harmon do a `` pass '' on the outline , and from there the episode undergoes several more drafts . The final draft of the script is last approved by either of the co-creators . Harmon has admitted that his perfectionism can some times be disruptive and cause writing schedule delays . For the most part , this was the reason why the third season of the show consisted of only ten episodes instead of fourteen , as was initially intended . Animation and Voice recording Animation for the show is done using Toon Boom Harmony , post-production work is done in Adobe After Effects , and background art is done in Adobe Photoshop . Production of animation is handled by Bardel Entertainment in Canada . Roiland 's cartooning style is heavily indebted to The Simpsons , a factor he acknowledged in a 2013 interview , while also comparing his style to that of Pendleton Ward ( Adventure Time ) and J.G. Quintel ( Regular Show ) : `` You 'll notice mouths are kind of similar and teeth are similar , but I think that 's also a stylistic thing that ... all of us are kind of the same age , and we 're all inspired by The Simpsons and all these other shows we 're kind of subconsciously tapping into . '' John Kricfalusi 's The Ren & Stimpy Show was another strong influence for Rick and Morty , which is why , according to Roiland , the small `` w - shaped mouths '' that the characters occasionally make is a reference to a similar expression that Ren frequently makes . When recording dialogue , Roiland does a considerable amount of improvisation , in order to make the characters feel more natural . Future Although there has not been an official renewal announcement by Adult Swim , Dan Harmon talked about the possibility of creating more than ten episodes per season , in a September 2017 interview , where he stated `` I 'm about to do season 4 of Rick and Morty and want to prove that I 've grown '' . On October 1 , 2017 , similarly to the second - season finale , the animated character Mr. Poopybutthole re-appeared in the post-credits scene of the third - season finale and said that it will be a long wait until the fourth season of the show . Writer Ryan Ridley , in a December 2017 interview with The Detroit Cast , said that he `` highly doubts '' there will not be a fourth season , but he does not expect it to air any sooner than late 2019 . In January 2018 , Adult Swim told Variety that `` there is no timing to share on premiere or status of production '' . On March 16 , 2018 , Harmon tweeted that he had not begun writing new episodes for season four , in part because Adult Swim had not ordered any new episodes yet nor have they picked up the show for a fourth season . As a reason for the delay , Harmon explained that the contract negotiations for the season `` ( have ) gotten complicated this time around . '' Themes and analysis Nobody exists on purpose , nobody belongs anywhere , everybody 's gon na die . Come watch TV . `` '' Morty Smith ( character ) , `` Rixty Minutes '' Rick and Morty has been described as `` a never - ending fart joke wrapped around a studied look into nihilism . '' The series addresses the insignificance of human existence as compared to the size of the universe , with no recognizable divine presence , as described by Lovecraft 's philosophy of cosmicism . The characters of the show find ways to deal with cosmic horror and existential dread , either by asserting the utility of science over magic or by choosing a life in ignorant bliss . Co-creator Dan Harmon , talking about the philosophy guiding the show and Rick 's nihilistic apathy , stated that `` the knowledge that nothing matters , while accurate , gets you nowhere . '' To find a sense of purpose and live a better life , one needs to focus on human relationships and experiences , and not preoccupy our minds with unanswerable questions . According to Harmon , this contrast is evident in the final scene of `` Auto Erotic Assimilation '' , where Jerry is joyfully removing the weeds from his driveway , while Rick appears in the background passed out drunk , after a failed suicide attempt . Occasionally , characters will acknowledge an episode 's narrative or hint at the presence of a fourth wall , suggesting that they are aware of the fact that they are characters of a TV show . Thereunder , Troy Patterson of The New Yorker notes that Rick and Morty `` supplies an artful answer to the question of what follows postmodernism : a decadent regurgitation of all its tropes , all at once , leavened by some humanistic wistfulness . '' Other philosophies that have been referenced in the characters ' behavior and observations include : existentialism , anarchism , absurdism , and the work of Friedrich Nietzsche .

Reception Critical reception Rick and Morty has received universal critical acclaim , holding a 97 % approval rating by critics on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes . David Weigand of San Francisco Chronicle described it as `` offbeat and occasionally coarse ... the take - away here is that it works '' . He praised the animation direction by James McDermott for being `` fresh , colorful and as wacky as the script '' , and states that the series possesses `` shades of Futurama , South Park and even Beetlejuice '' , ultimately opining that its humor felt `` entirely original '' . Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times praised the series and stated that it was `` Grandparenting at its unhinged finest . '' Todd Spangler of Variety gave the series a lukewarm review ; while he found the series was passable , he contrasted it with other Adult Swim series as `` often seems overly reliant on simply being frenetic at the expense of being witty '' and enjoyed it as `` a welcome attempt to dream just a little bigger '' . David Sims of The A.V. Club gave the series an `` A − '' . In reviewing the first two episodes , he complimented the animation for its `` clean , simple style '' . He stated that while the series has `` a dark , sick sensibility '' , he praised its `` effort to give each character a little bit of depth '' , further applauding Roiland 's voice talent for the eponymous characters .
