Fans of the popular animated series “Rick and Morty” are in for a treat as the show is making an unexpected return to the screens earlier than anticipated. The announcement regarding the premiere date for Season 7 of the Emmy-winning sci-fi comedy has been made by Adult Swim.
The upcoming season is set to debut on Sunday, October 15, at 11 p.m. This new installment will consist of 10 episodes, following the format of recent seasons that viewers have come to love.
Michael Ouweleen, President of the network, expressed his enthusiasm about the upcoming episodes and assured fans that the show’s quality remains top-notch. He acknowledged the departure of co-creator Justin Roiland and expressed confidence in the new talents joining the team, referring to them as “geniuses” who are taking the show to new heights.
In an official declaration, Ouweleen affirmed, “The moment is here. Thanks to the remarkable skills of the entire show’s crew, we’re all in for a treat with 10 fresh episodes that once again set new standards for comedy and animation. This season serves as evidence that the brilliant minds behind Rick and Morty are embarking on an exciting journey.”
One of the notable changes this season is the replacement of Justin Roiland as the voice actor for the titular characters. Roiland was removed from the show due to allegations of domestic violence and other problematic behavior. The new synopsis for the upcoming season hints at a recasting of the voices, promising that Rick and Morty will sound more like themselves than ever before.
As anticipation builds for the new season, the show is set to address several lingering questions from the previous season. Audiences can expect revelations about the fate of the character Jerry, the enigmatic EVIL Summer, and the potential return of the characters to high school. The synopsis playfully teases, “There’s probably less piss than last season. Rick and Morty, 100 years! Or at least until season 10!”
Fans of the show can now mark their calendars and look forward to an earlier-than-expected return of the beloved animated series that has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide.
