Rick and Morty Season 8 has been officially confirmed, and updates are already pouring in about the future of the popular animated series. Debuting back in 2013, the raunchy cartoon follows a nihilistic scientist named Rick Sanchez as he takes his overly anxious grandson Morty on adventures in different dimensions. Co-created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, Rick and Morty Quickly set itself apart from other adult animated shows with its clever concepts and pitch-black humor.
Despite nearly universal acclaim in its first six seasons, Rick and Morty was almost completely derailed when serious allegations were leveled against co-creator Justin Roiland. This sparked his fire from the series and necessitated a search for new voice actors who could step into the roles Roiland was portraying. When season 7 began in late 2023, it was obvious Rick and Morty was different after Roiland’s exit, but the popular sci-fi comedy lost none of its worldwide appeal. how so Rick and Morty is not only green-lit for season 8, but seasons 9 and 10 as well.

Rick and Morty Season 8 Story
More absurd adventures in space and time
While it is impossible to predict what will happen in Rick and Morty Season 8 Dan Harmon’s comments about his return to form offer some clues. One sure thing is that Rick and his grandson will get into a lot of interdimensional conflict, with a distinct existential edge. The somber tone of Season 7 is not unusual for the series, which often uses humor to tell much deeper stories. Season 7 saw Rick lose his motivation for adventure which completely changes the dynamic. This may allow for a more stripped-down season 8, but predicting plot points is impossible.
