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.

Rick and Morty season 7 cast
The biggest question about Rick and Morty season 7 is who is going to take over voicing Rick and Morty now that Justin Roiland is no longer a part of the show? No announcement has been made, but a show producer said at San Diego Comic Con 2023 that they were "closing in" on replacements, who will attempt to sound as much like Roiland's original interpretations of the characters as possible.
Otherwise, it is assumed that the rest of the voice cast for Rick and Morty are going to be back, including Spencer Grammer as Summer Smith, Sarah Chalke as Beth Smith and Chris Parnell as Jerry Smith.
It's unclear at this time if other recurring voice actors are going to pop up as part of the new season, like Kari Wahlgren's Jessica, Keith David's President or others. We also don't have any word on what potential guest stars may join the season. But when any info on that becomes available we'll share it here.
