The popular animated series ‘Rick and Morty’ is set to return for its seventh season on Sunday, October 15 at 11 p.m. ET/PT on Adult Swim. The show revolves around a brilliant but antisocial scientist who takes his timid grandson on risky escapades across the universe. Season 7 will feature new episodes and will also be accessible for streaming in 2024.
Michael Ouweleen, the president of Adult Swim, confirmed the upcoming season, praising the show’s team for delivering 10 fresh episodes that raise the bar in comedy and animation. The statement emphasized the continued creative brilliance behind ‘Rick and Morty’.
Notably, Season 7 marks a change as co-creator and star Justin Roiland, who voiced key characters like Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith, will no longer be part of the series. This decision follows allegations of domestic abuse against Roiland, which were dropped in January due to insufficient evidence. Consequently, his roles will be recast, but the replacements are yet to be revealed.
During this year’s Comic-Con, Steven Levy, an executive producer, disclosed that they were in the final stages of selecting new voice actors, who would resemble the original characters.
A press release for the upcoming season offers a glimpse into the content, stating that ‘Rick and Morty’ will continue to explore its signature humor. The release teases potential storylines, such as developments involving Jerry, the introduction of an ‘EVIL Summer,’ and the question of whether the characters will revisit high school. The note humorously references the reduced amount of controversial content from the previous season.
