Years into the series, Sarah Chalke still looks forward to reading the latest “Rick and Morty” script. “Ever since really day one of working on Rick and Morty, it’s always exciting when you get the new episode in your inbox and get to read the script, because it has continuously surprised me as I read them,” the actress told Screen Rant. She and the other actors are mostly kept in the dark, so the story shocks them just as much as it does the fans. “We don’t get a heads up of like an arc of the season or what’s gonna happen with your character,” she explained.

The animation is also a surprise for Chalke and the other voice actors. While reading the script, “you create this world in your head of what it’s gonna look like,” Chalke explained. The actress has a lot of fun imagining invented intergalactic beings like the “sentient alien cloud Fart” in “Mortynight Run,” but it’s impossible for her to guess what the animators will come up with. “You kind of get to experience it twice, once when you read the script and then once when you get to see the episode,” she explained.

Even before catching a glimpse of the finished episodes, Chalke has a feeling season 6 might be the best one yet. “Some of the scripts from this season are my favorites that we’ve gotten to record,” she revealed. There’s no telling what the newest season has in store, but Chalke counts herself among the other avid “Rick and Morty” fans that are waiting on the edge of their seats.
