“Rick and Morty” co-creator Dan Harmon went on a positive rant over the weekend reassuring fans that behind-the-scenes issues are not to blame for the prolonged absence of Season 3. Harmon also confirmed that he and fellow co-creator Justin Roiland are not feuding over the Adult Swim animated comedy, contrary to reports.

Early Saturday morning, Harmon responded to a “RaM” fan’s apprehension that the massive popularity of the series has outweighed his and Roiland’s desire to make the show.

This is the nicest phrasing of this concern in TV history and I promise it will not happen. RaM dies of satisfaction in..I'm guessing 2040 https://t.co/hoe0f1NGzR — Dan Harmon (@danharmon) June 24, 2017

The initial Twitter exchange resulted in a massive 26-tweet-long message dispelling any and all rumors that production has halted. The reason it seems for Season 3 to be taking longer than expected? Simple: Quality over quantity.

“A hungover thread where I address ‘Rick and Morty’ devotees because I feel bad for any fan worrying about any show-threatening issue,” Harmon began. “Justin and I are very regretful about the season taking way too long. I want to explain ‘what happened’ because it’s way less dramatic … Than you might ever imagine. Post-Internet TV audiences are so used to finding out there’s an intriguing/confusing/intense reason for delays … But the truth in this case is so very boring … The reason Season 3 took long is because it took long to write, because it was Season 3 of a show that we were scared to make worse than Season 2 or Season 1.”

Season 1 of the critically acclaimed cartoon premiered way back on Dec. 2, 2013. Season 2 then followed after a sizable hiatus on July 26, 2015. An after-the-credits scene in the Season 2 finale confirmed that new episodes would start airing “in like, a year and a half, or longer.” This potential joke was proven fact on April Fools’ Day this year with the surprise release of the Season 3 premiere. However, no new episodes have followed in the nearly three months since.

Many fans — and even some media outlets — theorized the delay was due to Harmon’s infamous ability to butt heads with co-workers. Luckily, he denounced those rumors on Twitter as well.

“If you do know of me at all, you know that if Justin and I had ever fought, not only wouldn’t we be able to keep it secret … We’d be all too eager to share it with you.”

The remaining 13 episodes of “Rick and Morty” Season 3 are expected to air sometime in 2017.

Justin and I are very regretful about the season taking way too long. I want to explain "what happened" because it's way less dramatic — Dan Harmon (@danharmon) June 24, 2017

And Christ knows if you've ever seen MY name on the internet I've only got myself to blame for an association with intrigue/confusion/drama — Dan Harmon (@danharmon) June 24, 2017

The reason S3 took long is because it took long to write, because it was S3 of a show that we were scared to make worse than S2 or S1. — Dan Harmon (@danharmon) June 24, 2017

Is going to have a falseness. If I say "we overthought" someone else could say "well, no, we thought the right amount," it's like talking — Dan Harmon (@danharmon) June 24, 2017

But don't worry about the content, because, the reason overthought slows you down is, you just do way more versions of stuff than needed. — Dan Harmon (@danharmon) June 24, 2017

That took way too fucking long to write because it just seems like the same stuff that took way less time to write. That's it. Boring answer — Dan Harmon (@danharmon) June 24, 2017

And because I'm Dan Harmon, so it's a smart fucking first guess, it just happens to be hilariously not true even in the slightest. — Dan Harmon (@danharmon) June 24, 2017

We'd be all too eager to share it with you. — Dan Harmon (@danharmon) June 24, 2017

So that's it. I shouldn't have started a thread when i need to pack for airport, but that's it. We took too long writing. Totes regrets. — Dan Harmon (@danharmon) June 24, 2017

It happened. That's how it works. You do something you don't know you're doing and then you're like oh I did that and then you do otherwise — Dan Harmon (@danharmon) June 24, 2017

Like I said it breaks my heart to think of some kid reading one of these clickbait pieces after all the energy that kid has put into fandom. — Dan Harmon (@danharmon) June 24, 2017

A part of. So..it makes sense that when you take something that loved and delay it this long and let the internet simmer, you get this stuff — Dan Harmon (@danharmon) June 24, 2017
