Rick and Morty is in the midst of its 70-episode order for Adult Swim, and viewers now know where the series’ production stands. At a panel celebrating the tenth anniversary of the adult animated series at Comic-Con International: San Diego, producer Steve Levy gave attendees an update on the series.
Created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, the series follows the adventures of Rick and Morty – a mad scientist grandfather and kindhearted grandson duo who have adventures across multiple realities. The voice cast includes Roiland, Chris Parnell, Spencer Grammer, and Sarah Chalke. Roiland’s lead characters are being recast after his relationship with the network ended following legal issues earlier this year.
CBR.com shared the following update:
The show’s producer Steve Levy provided various updates, confirming that the seventh season is “in the can.” He also revealed that the eighth season has also been written, while the ninth season is well underway. Levy and company teased the seventh season with a cold open featuring the alien race Numbericons and Water-T., which were first seen in the second season.
Levy also provided updates on voice recasts following the termination of the series’ co-creator Justin Roiland, who also voiced several characters on the show, including the titular Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith.
From the Rick and Morty 10th Anniversary at #SDCC, it has been confirmed that they have “all of S7 in the can, all of S8 written, and part of S9 written”!
Plus, apparently Squanchy, Gene, Gearhead, and Mr. Poopybutthole will all be returning in the S7 premiere. pic.twitter.com/6VkFqCn6Rj

The premiere date for Rick and Morty season seven will be announced later. The series is expected to return later this year.
What do you think? Are you a fan of this animated series on Adult Swim?
Toxic fanbase. Overhyped show. Doesn’t need to be on the air.
I am done with Rick and Morty since you fired Justin even though the charges were dropped. Also the writing has become so cconvoluted since Season 6 that you seem to have forgotten the focus of the show.
I was a huge fan and waited forever between seasons but apparently the employees who didn’t like Justin are running the show. It was the best, too.
So much for R &.M. x
Unless they bring back Justin I’m done with the show. I’ve purchased my last merchandise with Rick & Morty on it. Especially since the charges against him were dropped they still fired him anyway so they are now fired
Another “Victory” for the ‘cancel culture’! It doesn’t matter if he was found not guilty on any of the charges. Why should something like that matter?
Cases like this make me sick! Nothing matters except the “court of public opinion”… SMH
