No, Rick and Morty hasn’t been canceled.

Rick and Morty Season 7 has kicked off, sparking curiosity among fans about the remaining episodes. As an Adult Swim creation, it is one of the contemporary era's most beloved adult animated shows, with the show growing in fame and popularity over the years. In its seventh season, Rick and Morty has achieved unprecedented popularity, yet the shadow of its eventual conclusion looms larger with each passing week. Despite concerns among fans about a potential cancellation, current indications suggest that might not be the fate awaiting the show.

Is Rick and Morty canceled?

No, Rick and Morty hasn't been canceled. Despite the exit of co-creator Justin Roiland, the show is steaming ahead, committed to entertaining fans through at least Season 10. Adult Swim remains steadfast in delivering on its initial order of 70 Rick and Morty episodes, with a substantial 40 episodes still in the pipeline.

Also, Season 7 has wrapped up and been released while Season 8 has already been written and Season 9 is in production as per various reports. Season 7 premiered on October 15th, 2023, with episodes set to be released every week, with a total of ten episodes in the season. The storyline delves into Rick's quest against his arch-nemesis and features the familiar core cast with the exception of Rick and Morty’s voice actors.

Was Justin Roiland fired from Rick and Morty?

Yes, Justin Roiland was indeed fired by Adult Swim from Rick and Morty. This led to a significant restructuring before the show's seventh season due to Roiland's dismissal in early 2023 following allegations of domestic abuse. Despite the charges against Roiland being dropped, the controversy spawned additional claims.

Furthermore, within a day of being fired by Adult Swim, Hulu also cut ties with Roiland, removing him from his other projects like Solar Opposites and Koala Man. The recent Solar Opposites Season 4 trailer hints at efforts to move beyond Roiland's influence, seen in the recasting of Dan Stevens as Corvo, the lead role previously held by Roiland, with the show's characters playfully acknowledging the change in voices.

Who will voice Rick and Morty now?

The lingering question for Rick and Morty Season 7 revolves around the replacement for Justin Roiland in voicing Rick and Morty. Apart from his roles in writing and co-creating the show, Roiland lent his voice to the titular characters, their numerous variants, and various minor background characters, including the iconic Mr. Poopy Butt Hole.

Recasting the roles could take different paths, whether by selecting a new voice actor to cover both characters or hiring two separate actors for the title roles. The studio, however, took the latter route with Ian Cardoni voicing Rick Sanchez and Harry Belden voicing Morty from season 7 onwards.

While Justin Roiland's departure marks a significant change, the core supporting cast is anticipated to return for the seventh season. This includes familiar faces like Chris Parnell as Jerry Smith, Spencer Grammer as Summer Smith, and Sarah Chalke as Beth Smith and Space Beth Smith.
