The Anticipation Continues to Build for Season 7
“Rick and Morty” has become nothing short of a cultural phenomenon, rising from its modest roots to captivate a vast and dedicated fanbase. It’s no wonder the anticipation is always sky-high whenever a new season rolls out. Just recently, season 7 made its debut, and it’s proving to be a season like no other. With only two episodes in, questions are swirling about what’s coming next, who’s getting more air time, and when exactly can we expect the grand finale. So, let’s dive right in!
“Rick and Morty is one of the most popular adult animated shows of the modern age, with its lore and fanbase growing massively since its humble beginnings.”
The Tale of the Tape: Season 7 Episode Count
Season 7 didn’t just come with new narrative arcs; it also saw some behind-the-scenes shake-ups. But let’s get one thing straight: how many episodes are we talking about here?
“Rick & Morty Season 7 Has 8 Episodes Left (From 10 Total)”
That’s right, folks. “The Jerrick Trap,” which aired this past Sunday, was only the second episode in a 10-episode line-up. Mark your calendars because there’s more of the Rick and Morty universe unfolding in the coming weeks.
Spotlight: What’s in Store for Episode 3?
Episode 3, cheekily titled “Air Force Wong,” has got fans speculating. The title itself seems to suggest that Dr. Wong, the Smith family’s go-to therapist, might play a central role.
“The next episode of Rick and Morty to release will be season 7, episode 3, ‘Air Force Wong.’ Very few details about the upcoming episode are known, but the episode’s title hints that the story will presumably revolve around Dr. Wong, the family therapist for the Smiths.”
The episode also teases yet another clash between Rick and the President, an age-old tiff that fans have come to love. We’re all looking forward to how this episode spices things up.
When and Where to Catch All the Action?
Timing is everything, and “Rick and Morty” is sticking to its Sunday night slot at 11 p.m. ET on Adult Swim. The season is set to go out with a bang on December 17 with the finale episode “Fear No Mort.”
“New episodes of Rick and Morty season 7 release every Sunday on Adult Swim at 11 p.m. ET.”
And if you’re wondering about when the season will land on streaming platforms, well, prepare for a bit of a wait.
“Due to Rick and Morty releasing on Adult Swim, season 7’s new episodes don’t actually have next-day releases on any streaming platform. It seems like the release date will probably be around May 2024.”
Good news for cable TV subscribers though! The Adult Swim app does feature the new episodes if you can’t catch them live.
Your Streaming Future: A Waiting Game
“Rick and Morty” fans know the drill: the episodes take their sweet time migrating to streaming services. Given the track record, you might be waiting until May 2024 to binge the whole of season 7 online.
“It took even longer to drop on Hulu, meaning that fans could be waiting five months or more for the new batch of episodes.”
The Bottom Line: Strap In for the Ride
So there you have it—a whirlwind tour of what to expect for the remainder of “Rick and Morty” Season 7. With 8 more episodes to drop, an intriguing episode 3 in the pipeline, and an eagerly awaited finale, the upcoming weeks look promising for every die-hard fan out there.
