Adult Swim has premiered the seventh season trailer for its Emmy-winning animated comedy “Rick and Morty”.
The new season features ‘sound alike’ voice actors replacing co-creator Justin Roiland who was dismissed from the show due to misconduct allegations.
The network is keeping the names of the new voice talents under wraps until the show’s season premiere. The new season will consist of ten episodes and starts on October 15th.
Two separate actors are replacing Roiland who handled both Rick and Morty’s voices in the past. The characters themselves will reportedly remain unchanged.
An Adult Swim source tells THR: “We want the show to speak for itself. We believe in the strength of the season and our new voices and we want to preserve the viewing experience for fans.”
The official synopsis 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!”
The series reached over 19 million viewers on linear broadcast in 2022 and remains a top series on streaming service Max.
