Rick and Morty Get Season 7 Premiere Date!
Adult Swim has announced a premiere date for the eagerly awaited seventh season of it’s highly acclaimed animated sci-fi comedy Rick and Morty! Last week we were blessed with a teaser for the upcoming season, set to the song “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” by The Smashing Pumpkins, which featured Rick C137’s journey in past seasons to his current, apparent, story arc. Finding the Rick who killed his original dimension’s version of Diane and Beth.
Rick and Morty’s official twitter account posted the above tweet announcing that new episodes will begin airing October 15th.
Despite the air date for the first episode being mere weeks away, we’ve yet to hear casting news for the show’s titular characters. Rick and Morty had to be recast this season after Adult Swim cut ties with the duo’s former actor, and show co-creator, Justin Roiland due to allegations of sexual harrasment and domestic abuse.
The show’s production team has stated that they will be going with someone who can imitate Roiland’s original voices as opposed to going with completely different, as was done with Roiland’s character on his Hulu show Solar Opposites.
We may just have to wait and see what happens when the first episode airs. The seventh season of Rick and Morty is set to premiere Sunday, October 15th at 11PM on Adult Swim. In the meantime fans can rewatch and catch up on the cartoon via Hulu and Max. Check out the full press release below…
