The panel, moderated by Brandon Johnson, touched on several happenings so far in Season 5. On the topic of the decoys in the episode, “Mortyplicity,” Harmon explained how he got the idea about someone wanting to have decoy families (who didn’t know they were decoys) around.
“That was always an idea that was bouncing around,” he said. “Once you get beyond [the questions of] am I going to be able to eat or pay rent, you start worrying about whether you can keep what you have. My biggest nightmare is home invasion, and what would be better than knowing that someone could invade you but they’d be home invading a fake family.”
