In the forthcoming season, expect new voices for both Rick and Morty.
The hit adult animated series, ‘Rick and Morty,’ is experiencing a significant transition as it approaches its seventh season. Justin Roiland, the former creative force and voice behind the series, parted ways with Adult Swim in early 2023 amidst unsettling allegations of domestic abuse. Though the allegations were later dismissed, they sparked further accusations that tainted Roiland’s once-stellar reputation.
Shortly after Adult Swim’s decision, Hulu also ended its association with Roiland, affecting other shows like ‘Solar Opposites’ and ‘Koala Man’. The teaser for ‘Solar Opposites’ Season 4 gave viewers a taste of how the shows might adapt post-Roiland, including the recasting of the character Corvo with Dan Stevens. A similar change is anticipated for Rick and Morty’s voices in the upcoming season.
Despite Roiland’s undeniable influence on the show, Adult Swim confirmed that the show will go on, with the devoted team already prepping for Season 7. For a deeper dive into the cast, storyline, episode details, and more of ‘Rick and Morty’ Season 7, continue reading.

Who’s In the Cast of ‘Rick and Morty’ Season 7?

The main supporting cast, like Chris Parnell (Jerry Smith), Spencer Grammer (Summer Smith), and Sarah Chalke (both Beth Smith characters), are anticipated to return. Additionally, fans can expect regular side characters and celebrity guest voices.

Behind the Scenes of ‘Rick and Morty’ Season 7
With Roiland’s departure, co-creator Dan Harmon will presumably handle most of the show’s production. Harmon, known for other successes like ‘Community,’ is well-equipped for the role.

Following the HBO Max transition to Max, a ‘Rick and Morty’ spin-off titled ‘Rick and Morty: The Anime’ was announced as a Max exclusive. If successful, this might pave the way for more spin-offs and expanded content from this beloved universe.
