Rick and Morty season 7: how to watch, and everything we know about the animated series
Some changes are coming with Rick and Morty season 7.
The arrival of Rick and Morty season 7 marks a turning point for the wildly popular animated series. With one of its main creatives no longer a part of the show, questions abound about the brand new season.
All of this stems from the departure of Justin Roiland, who was fired from the series after Rick and Morty season 6. In addition to being one of the creators (alongside Dan Harmon) and writers, Roiland voiced both Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith. Who will replace Roiland as the voice of the two main characters and what directions will the show go with Roiland no longer serving as one of its creators?
We do our best to answer those questions with everything we know about Rick and Morty season 7 right here.
How to watch Rick and Morty season 7
Rick and Morty season 7 has wrapped up on TV, but unfortunately for US the animated series is not yet available to stream on-demand. However, it'll just be a short wait, as Rick and Morty season 7 is set to premiere on Max on January 22, joining other past seasons of the show. Rick and Morty seasons 1-6 are also streaming on Hulu, but it's unclear if or when season 7 may arrive on that streaming service.
As for UK viewers, Rick and Morty season 7 is available to stream on E4 and All4. Other past seasons have landed on Netflix in the UK, but at this time there's no details on if/when that'll happen.
Rick and Morty season 7 plot
Based on how season 6 ended and the teaser for the new season already provided, we can assume one of the big storylines in Rick and Morty season 7 is going to be Rick C-137's search for his ultimate nemesis, Rick Prime. But there's more to enjoy, as teased by this synopsis:
"Rick and Morty are back and sounding more like themselves than ever! It's season seven, and the possibilities are endless: what's up with Jerry? EVIL Summer?! And will they ever go back to the high school?! Maybe not! But let’s find out! There's probably less piss than last season. Rick and Morty, 100 years! Or at least until season 10!"
