Adult Swim has announced the return for the seventh season of the hit anime Rick and Morty — and the network promises that the new episodes will “raise the bar” following co-creator Justin Roiland’s exit.
The Emmy Award-winning sci-fi comedy series returns Sunday, October 15 at 11 p.m. Like the previous final seasons, the new season will include 10 episodes.
“It happens,” confirmed Michael O’Wellen, President of Adult Swim. Thanks to the talent of the entire cast of the show, we can all enjoy ten new episodes that raise the bar for comedy and animation yet again. This season proves that geniuses are at work. Rick and Morty I just started.”
The news follows Roiland’s firing from the successful global company — as well as being stripped of his lucrative overall deal — in January after he was charged with felony domestic violence in Orange County, California. The accusations were soon followed by revelations that Roiland had sent abusive direct messages to a fan, which gave rise to previously problematic comments in interviews and allegations of workplace conduct issues. But in March, the criminal charges were dropped.
Adult Swim has been looking for new “look-alike” voice talent for the show’s titular characters. The network confirmed that the characters themselves would remain unchanged. No new cast has been announced yet, though Dan Stevens has been cast to star in another Roiland-produced animated series, Hulu. Solar opposites.
The official description for the seventh season refers to the recasts:Rick and Morty They are back and looking more like themselves than ever! It’s Season 7, and the possibilities are endless: What’s Jerry’s story? Wicked summer?! Will they ever go back to high school?! Maybe not! But let’s find out! Maybe there is less piss than last season. Rick and Morty, 100 years old! Or at least until Season X!
Adult swimming refers to it Rick and Morty It was the best cable comedy of all time during seasons three, four, five and six. The series reached more than 19 million viewers via linear streaming in 2022 and remains one of the best series on streaming service Max. Rick and Morty It won two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Program and is currently up for a third.
