Plot Predictions for Season 7
Decoding the teaser, it seems this season will delve deeper into Rick’s vendetta against Prime Rick. Driven by a thirst for vengeance for his wife and daughter, Rick is set to embark on a deadly mission to eliminate his sinister counterpart. And while he initially intended to shield Morty with the assistance of Robot Rick (who tragically met his demise in the previous season), the current state of affairs will see Morty partnering with his grandfather in this perilous journey. Fans can brace themselves for the quintessential “Rick and Morty” chaos that’s bound to unfold.
Changes in the Voice Cast
However, this season will witness a significant change. Justin Roiland, the co-creator who lent his voice to both main characters, will not be making a return. Following domestic battery charges earlier in the year, Roiland’s association with Adult Swim was terminated. Fortunately for fans, even though the charges were later dropped, the show continued its journey without him.
Discussing this transformation, executive producer Steve Levy mentioned in an interview with the LA Times how the sudden turn of events could have spelled the end for the show. He elaborated on the team’s resilience, emphasizing that “Rick and Morty” is the collective effort of a dedicated and hardworking team. Levy assured fans they would be greeted with a series that retains its original charm, if not offering something even better.
A Note on the Ongoing Strikes
It’s essential to highlight the ongoing 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. The work featured in this article owes its existence to the tireless endeavors of writers and actors. Without their contributions, the entertainment landscape would be vastly different.
