'Rick and Morty' Season 7 trailer unveils voice replacements for fired creator Justin Roiland

The highly anticipated seventh season of "Rick and Morty" is just around the corner, set to premiere next month on Adult Swim. However, fans can expect something different this time around – the voices of the iconic title characters have been replaced following the firing of series co-creator Justin Roiland.

Trailer Hints at Voice Changes

The recently released trailer for the upcoming season promises the same sci-fi madness and humor that fans adore but introduces a noticeable change in the voices of Rick and Morty. Justin Roiland, who once provided the voices for both characters, was relieved of his duties by Adult Swim in January after facing domestic violence charges. These charges were later dismissed in March by the Orange County District Attorney's office.


Adult Swim promptly announced its intention to recast the voices with soundalike performers, and this new vocal talent can be heard in the trailer. However, the specific replacements have yet to be officially disclosed.

Michael Ouweleen, the President of Adult Swim, emphasized the upcoming season's quality in a press release that accompanied the trailer's release. "It's happening," Ouweleen declared, "Thanks to the talent of the entire show team, we can all enjoy 10 new episodes that yet again raise the bar for comedy and animation. This season proves that the geniuses at work on 'Rick and Morty' are just getting started."

Cryptic Season Summary Teases Recasting

Accompanying the trailer was a typically cryptic summary of the upcoming season that playfully alluded to the voice recasting. "Rick and Morty are back and sounding more like themselves than ever," it stated. "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!"

Premiere Date

"Rick and Morty" enthusiasts won't have to wait much longer to witness the outcome of these voice changes, as season 7 is scheduled to premiere on Adult Swim on October 15th. Fans can get a sneak peek of what's in store by watching the trailer.

The transition to new voice actors for these beloved characters marks a significant change for the series, but it's one that fans are eager to experience as they delve into another season of interdimensional adventures and dark humor.
