Rick And Morty Season 7 Coming This October

Rick and Morty will return for Season 7 on October 15 at 11 PM ET/PT. According to a press release from Adult Swim, the new season will also be available to stream, but not until 2024.

"It's happening," Adult Swim President Michael Ouweleen said in a statement. "Thanks to the talent of the show team, we can all enjoy 10 episodes that again raise the bar for comedy and animation. This season proves that the team at work on Rick and Morty are just getting started."

The team at work on Rick and Morty no longer includes co-creator Justin Roiland, and Season 7 will be the first episodes of the series without the writer-director/performer. Roiland is no longer in business with Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of Adult Swim, following allegations of abuse--said charges were dropped in January due to insufficient evidence.

What that means for Season 7 is that the voice roles Roiland played--including the titular Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith--will be taken on by newcomers. The new voice actors are yet to be revealed. However, during this year's Comic-Con, Executive Producer Steven Levy confirmed the selection of sound-alikes replacements for the original characters. Dan Stevens (The Legion, Downton Abbey) replaced Roiland on Hulu's Solar Opposites.

This is acknowledged in this announcement's release, which reads: "Rick and Morty are back and sounding more like themselves than ever! It's season seven, and the possibilities are endless: what's up with Jerry? EVIL Summer?! And will they ever go back to the high school?! Maybe not! But let's find out! There's probably less piss than last season. Rick and Morty, 100 years! Or at least until season 10!"

Rick and Morty is continuing with Dan Harmon (Community, the upcoming Krapopolis) as showrunner. As the release indicates, the show's previous 70-episode order takes the show up through Season 10.
