Rick and Morty seasons
The show is an American science fiction animated TV series for adults. It is created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland and is aired on Cartoon Network’s nighttime programming block Adult Swim. The story is about a mad scientist and alcoholic grandfather named Rick Sanchez and his grandson Morty Smith. Morty unlike his grandfather, is kind-hearted but is also fretful. Their life revolves around their domestic household and interdimensional adventures. The duo travels through different dimensions and planets through portals and a flying saucer owned by Rick. The show has had about 6 seasons so far with a seventh season due to release this year.
Season 7 Release Date
The show’s first season premiered on December 2, 2013, and ran till April 14, 2014. It was renewed for a new season because of its popularity. For now, the release date for Rick and Morty season 7 has not yet been announced. However, there are speculations that the release might be sometime in the middle of this year (2023). Fans are eager as this season has taken a much longer hiatus than the other seasons.
The season was delayed due to the domestic violence allegations of the co-creator Justin Roiland. As a result of the allegations, Roiland will not be returning to the show. On January 25th, 2023, the Adult Swim network announced that it had severed all ties with Roiland. The official Twitter post of Rick and Morty read as follows:
“Adult swim has ended its association with Justin Roiland. Rick and Morty will continue. The talented and dedicated crew are hard at work on season 7”
