List of episodes

The seventh season of the American adult animated television series Rick and Morty premiered on October 15, 2023, and will consist of ten episodes.

The season was ordered before the fourth season of the show finished airing, in May 2020. It is the first season not to feature Justin Roiland providing any voice work, following his dismissal from the franchise in January 2023, though he is still credited as co-creator and executive producer, with Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden cast to replace him, and Tom Kenny promoted to the main cast.

Production

Development

The season is a part of a long-term deal between show creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon and Adult Swim, confirming 70 new episodes would be released over an unspecified amount of seasons. Thirty of those episodes were aired as part of season four, season five and season six, leaving forty episodes remaining.[6]

Casting

See also: Justin Roiland § Controversies

After charges of felony domestic abuse, which were subsequently dropped due to a lack of evidence,[7][8] Justin Roiland was removed from the show following the sixth season.[9] Adult Swim hired two new voice "sound alike" talent for the show's titular characters,[10] announced as unknown actors Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden on the season premiere. Cardoni was cast first due to his Rick impression, which Marder mentioned was difficult to cast as “everyone sounded like Macho Man Randy Savage or like a cousin of his. No one sounded exactly like Rick.” Belden was cast much later “after exhausting every possible resource”.[11][12]

Release

The seventh season premiered on October 15, 2023.[10] The episode titles for season 7 were released through social media on August 31, 2023.[2]

Reception

On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, season 7 has a 73% score based on 11 reviews.[13]
