Rick and Morty alum to work as showrunner for Loki on Disney+
By Shawn Lealos
In some interesting news, one of the alumni from Rick and Morty will take on the role of the showrunner of Loki when it comes to Disney+.
Michael Waldron, who served on the production staff on both Community and Rick and Morty working under Dan Harmon will get a chance to run the upcoming Loki series on the Disney+ streaming service.
As a writer, Waldron worked on HarmonQuest and as an executive producer, he worked on Good Game. While he has little experience in the area of showrunning, working with Dan Harmon is always a plus, as long as he doesn’t replicate his problems with delays.
