Rick and Morty season 7: Season 7 is the seventh season of Rick and Morty. It premiered on October 15, 2023, and ended on December 17. It contained 10 episodes, which was on par with most previous seasons.

However, in contrast to previous seasons, this season was the first not to feature co-creator Justin Roiland. Roiland’s roles were recast with soundalike actors this season. A sociopathic scientist arrive’s at his daughters doorstep 20 years after vanishing and moves in with her family, set up a laboratory in the garage and taking his grandson on wild adventures across the universe.

Production

During the Rick and Morty Adult Swim Con 2020 panel, Dan Harmon mentioned that Season 7 was developing around the same time Season 5’s premiere was released and writing had begun.

On August 6, 2021, writer Cody Ziglar revealed that writing for Season 7 has finished.

On January 24, 2023, Adult Swim ended its association with co-creator Justin Roiland and fired him from the series amid charges of domestic abuse. It was announced that Roiland’s roles will be recast for future seasons of Rick and Morty. The series is planned to continue into the tenth season.

On June 14, 2023, Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen and executive producer Steve Levy revealed that recasting Roiland’s roles is in progress, and Season 7 is expected to release within Fall 2023.

On July 21, 2023, at the Rick and Morty San Diego Comic-Con panel, it was announced that soundalike actors would replace Roiland’s voice work, and there would be no changes to the characters themselves.

Rick and Morty summary

Summary

First of all, let’s touch upon the main issue here. I assure you that I am not going to change my opinion of Rick and Morty Season 7 at all. At the time, Adult Swim only provide the first two episodes of the new season, and I maintain today what I said back then: Yes, indeed, those two episodes were absolutely bad. They simply didn’t show their own merits and do not added up to the overall plot. It was also enough to make me panic for the future of Rick and Morty.

However, the seventh season of the TV series was soon overtaken by the improvement that followed. Finally, we realized that by the time we got to Episode 10, Rick and Morty is still working at a high level and the show is actually evolving both emotionally and intellectually in its post Justin Roiland era.

If you haven’t been noticing, Rick Prime is a multiversal character who killed Rick’s wife and then used the sci-fi technology to delete her from every single universe in the history of the universe. Constantly focusing on revenging Rick Prime has been our main way of getting back at him since Season 1, even though it was not fully explain until much time later. By Season 7, this event finally took place but with a couple of smart tricks.

The first part of the episode 5 was the origin of Evil Morty (another famous variation), a kind of preparation for what comes next. At the end of the episode, Rick only attains revenge with the help of Evil Morty which makes his blood-soaked victory seem completely hollow. Thus, we jump to the back of the summer Rick and Morty season 7.
