The character’s season 5 re-entry follows Sarah Chalke opening up about Space Beth’s future.
She previously told Inverse: “[Creators] Dan [Harmon] and Justin [Roiland] are allowed to talk about future episodes – I am not!
“I’m watching every word out of my mouth to make sure I don’t spoil anything! If she sticks around, that’s fun for me and a really interesting dynamic for Beth to play off of. I personally hope she sticks around, but we’ll see.”
She added: “I’d love to see a little more insight into her as a kid. I loved hearing all of the things she used to do, like force Rick to make her mind control hair clips so people would like her.
“Just seeing her behave so much like Rick at such a young age would be really fun.”
It also follows Chalke previously telling Digital Spy why she expected the show’s fifth season to be delayed.
Rick and Morty airs on Adult Swim in the US, and on E4 and All 4 in the UK. Seasons 1-4 are also available on Netflix in the UK.
