No doubt, Adult Swim’s Rick And Morty has established its massive fanbase over the years, and now fans are eagerly waiting for Rick And Morty Season 7. Well, the series has gained several accolades for its unique storyline and spoofing-esque. And finally, after a long wait, the network has dropped the most-awaiting news. The sitcom is all set to return sooner rather than later. It has already dropped its first look, which hints at the titular character’s next biggest and boldest adventure. So, are you ready to witness the most dramatic quest of all time? This is because the teaser did hint at one of the biggest nemesis that has changed Rick’s entire universe. Hence, fans will finally get all the answers they are looking for. Now, let’s head straight to see who this person will be and what challenges he offers.
Created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, Rick And Morty is an animated sci-fi sitcom. The series follows the misadventures of a brilliant but eccentric scientist, Rick, and his easily influenced grandson, Morty. Throughout the show, the duo travels through the multiverse, encountering several dangerous and bizarre situations, including alternate dimensions, aliens, and several sci-fi phenomena. It combines satire, humor, and unique storytelling to explore several different themes like morality and the result of intelligence. But despite everything, the sitcom is known for its dark humor.
Rick And Morty Season 7’s Fate After Justin Roiland’s Exit!
No doubt, Rick And Morty Season 7 is happening, as the series has already been renewed for three seasons soon after the conclusion of the fourth season. So, the seventh season was always on the cards. However, fans were worried after Adult Swim announced the exit of Justin Roiland. Well, the former creator of the series was fired because of a lawsuit against him. In 2020, he was charged with felony domestic battery. In fact, he was falsely imprisoned in California. But after things went public, the network decided to cut ties with the series creator.
Thus, many fans believed that the fate of the seventh season was in limbo. However, it wasn’t the case, as the network officially announced that the show was all set to return. Adult Swim had also hinted at Rick And Morty Season 7 production status a few months ago. And now, the network has dropped the full details regarding the seventh season’s premiere, including the release pattern. Thus, it’s safe to say that nothing can stop Rick And Morty’s journey, even the exit of the creator.
Trailer Is Already Out!
In August 2023, Adult Swim dropped the first official trailer of Rick And Morty Season 7, which speaks great volumes. The trailer primarily focuses on Rick vs. Rick Prime, which indirectly hints at the multiverse of Rick’s quest. Well, since the beginning of the series, fans remain curious about how Rick has gadgets and solutions to all the problems. And now, the current trailer gives all the answers. It hints that young Rick is forced to go on a revenge spree when Rick Prime attacks his family. The teaser trailer begins with Rick Prime visiting the younger Rick.
It soon leads to remarkable mishaps. Rick Prime later kills Rick’s wife and daughter, forcing him to kill his nemesis. So, the younger version of the scientist goes on a mission to track down Rick Prime and his alternate versions. However, for this, he needs a portal gun. With his great efforts, he finally makes the portal gun. With the help of the portal gun, he eventually kills almost a dozen of Rick from the alternate dimensions, and finally, he succeeds in tracking Rick Prime. But he later learns that he has yet to reach the halfway. So, he seeks Morty’s help to fight against his nemesis.
Rick And Morty Season 7 Plot: Teaser Drops Clue About What Will Happen Next?
Recently, the network has dropped the entire list of Episode titles of Rick And Morty Season 7, and fans are now curious to know how things will move. Although the show hasn’t dropped the entire plot details, it has only revealed the episode titles. Yet, that pretty much hints at what fans can expect from the next season. Well, the series mainly revolves around the titular characters, and the official trailer has already hinted at Rick’s revenge spree. But the episode titles tell a different story. It’s as follows:
How Poopy Got His Poop Back
Rick And Morty Season 7 Episode 1, “How Poppy Got His Poop Back,” hints toward the story surrounding the fan-favorite character, Mr. Poopybutthole. Well, the character has been a part of the show since season 4. However, he has only appeared in post-credits stingers or cameos. But Mr. Poopybutthole was left in a darker situation in the sixth season. So, it seems like the seventh season will focus on his comeback and how he settles everything.
The Jerrick Trap
While it remains unclear what Rick And Morty Season 7 Episode 2, “The Jerrick Trap,” is all about, it seems like it will return with a spoof. The episode is likely to spoof the classic family movie The Parent Trap. This episode may focus on Jerry’s parents, introduced in the first season. However, since Morty’s parents’ relationship has seen a downside in the sixth season, it’s likely that this episode will focus on Jerry and Beth instead. Either way, it will be the best way to work around Roiland’s recasting.
Air Force Wong
Although it remains unclear whether Susan Sarandon will return, Rick And Morty Season 7 Episode 3, “Air Force Wong,” definitely hints at her return. Well, she’s one of those characters who has managed to expose Rick’s dark and vulnerable side. So, no doubt, fans love this character. And the episode title hints that this particular one will focus on 1997’s Air Force One. In that thriller, the president’s plane is hijacked. So, if it follows this particular instance, fans can also expect to see Keith David as the US President.
That’s Amorte
Rick And Morty Season 7 Episode 4, “That’s Amorte” definitely hints at the news of the series planning to ignore the recasting of Roiland. Things are unclear at this moment as the series hasn’t revealed much about Roiland’s recasting and who will voice over his characters. But this particular episode does hint that the series may continue with its original cast. Nevertheless, the official announcement is yet to happen. The fourth episode stands for uncertainty.
Unmortricken
Rick And Morty Season 7 Episode 5, “Unmortricken,” clearly hints at the spoof of Clint Eastwood’s classic 1992 Western Unforgiven. Well, the classic movie is a masterpiece for various reasons. It has brought the greatest directors of the time, not to forget its brutal storyline. Thus, it’s clear that the episode will focus on the revenge theme, where several characters will be seen fighting against a common enemy. So, it may explore some parts of the trailer.
Rickfending Your Mort
It remains unclear what Rick And Morty Season 7 Episode 6, “Rickfending Your Mort,” is all about. However, it seems like the next episode is going to spoof the rom-com Defending Your Life. This rom-com focuses on the fear of the lead character, who fears whether he will be reincarnated. So, this episode will likely be a fun parody of this rom-com. Well, one thing to note here is that Rick And Morty has often brought up such themes. So, it won’t be their first time exploring such an afterlife theme.
Wet Kuat Amortican Summer
Well, Rick And Morty Season 7 Episode 7, “Wet Kuat Amortican Summer,” clearly suggests that this particular episode is going to spoof the 2001 cult comedy Wet Hot American Summer. However, if you remember, Kuat is a fictional planet that is mentioned in the Star Wars universe. On the other hand, Summer is Morty’s sister. So, the episode title will most likely focus on Summer’s adventure. Well, the show has already hinted at the brother-sister adventure in the sixth season. So, it seems like it will continue that part in this season.
Rise Of The Numbericons: The Movie
While it remains unclear how things will move in this particular episode, it seems like it will spoof some of the greatest movie franchises. Rick And Morty Season 7 Episode 8, “Rise Of The Numbericons: The Movie,” may revolve around Rise Of The Skywalker or Transformers. But currently, it remains unclear. Further, figuring out what this episode will explore is quite tricky. However, the title suggests that it will bring back Space Beth.
Mort: Ragnarick
Rick And Morty Season 7 Episode 9, “Mort: Ragnarick,” promises to bring back the show’s classic format. Well, the title itself suggests that it will focus on the classic pop culture, 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok. No doubt, the viewers will see Rick and Morty on another adventure that may feature MCU movie elements. But again, it’s Rick And Morty so anything can happen. There’s a possibility that it may explore more parts of other anime as well.
Fear No Mort
Rick And Morty Season 7 Episode 10, “Fear No Mort,” is undoubtedly a reference to the 1961 thriller movie Fear No More. While it’s expected to spoof the 1961 movie, a theory suggests it may feature some elements of Shakespeare’s poem, too, as it used the same phrase. But once again, it’s Rick And Morty, and hence, it stands ambiguity as to what will happen next in this episode.
Who Will Be In Rick And Morty Season 7 Cast?
This is certainly the biggest question the viewers are searching for. As of now, everyone wants to know who will be replacing Justin Roiland in Rick And Morty Season 7. Roiland had been the voice behind the titular characters. In addition to them, he had given his voice to several other minor characters. One of them was Mr. Poopybutthole. Since we know the latter is going to return in the upcoming season, it becomes crucial to learn who will lend his voice to all these characters. But sadly, Adult Swim hasn’t dropped any details regarding Roiland recasting. However, it’s clear that he won’t be a part of season 7.
Besides him, the other cast includes Chris Parnell as Jerry Smith, Sarah Chalke as Beth and Space Beth Smith, and Spencer Grammer as Summer Smith. The other recurring actors are Brandon Johnson as Mr. Goldenfold, Kari Wahlgren as Jessica, and Keith David as the President. Well, the sitcom is famous for bringing some celebrity guest stars, so we can expect the same in Rick And Morty Season 7.
But Who Is Making The Next Season?
Now that Roiland is out of the game, viewers are keen to know who oversees all the duties: writing and production. No doubt, all the producing duties have fallen onto Dan Harmon’s shoulders. So, it’s clear that he’s serving as the sole creator of the series. As for Harmon, he has given several hit series with and without Roiland. Hence, it won’t be challenging for him to work without Roiland.
Further, the sitcom is all set to return with its spin-off. Max, formerly known as HBO Max, has ordered Rick And Morty: The Anime. That is currently in development. So, it’s clear that Harmon and his team are all set to return with full force.
