After the finale of Rick and Morty Season 7, followers of the animated show experienced a significant setback when it was announced that Season 8 would be postponed. Later, due to the Writers Guild of America strike, the airing of Rick and Morty Season 8 was further delayed until 2025. However, this wasn’t too tough for fans because an anime adaptation titled Rick and Morty: The Anime kept them entertained in 2024.
For those just starting with the show, “Rick and Morty” chronicles the escapades of the quirky and grumpy scientist Rick Sanchez, who is joined by his nervous grandson Morty Smith for a series of bizarre and frequently interstellar journeys.
For most of the build-up to its release, Season 7 was wrapped in an enigma because co-creator Justin Roiland stepped down as the voice actor for both main characters. Instead, Ian Cardoni took on the role of Rick, and Harry Belden voiced Morty. Their performances were outstanding, leaving many viewers unable to discern much of a change. As anticipated, they will reprise their roles in Season 8 of the animated show.
In the year 2025, enthusiasts are left pondering a major query: When will season 8 make its debut? Dive deeper into this article for insights on the upcoming season of Rick and Morty.

What could Rick and Morty season 8 be about?
As the seventh season unfolds, Rick grapples with profound existential questions concerning the hereafter, carries out a test that results in Jerry’s death, and becomes entangled in a complex scheme involving the Pope. The already tumultuous show promises to grow even more unpredictable as specifics about upcoming events remain undisclosed.
As a die-hard fan of this captivating animated series, I can’t help but share my excitement about the upcoming Season 8. In a recent chat with The Verge, co-creator Harmon hinted that this new season will stand out, having been influenced by the transformations our beloved show has undergone. He elaborated, “Season 7 is another stepping stone on that journey, but it’s Season 8, which is already scripted, that I believe will truly set it apart when it arrives.
We’re aiming for a refreshed comeback with season 9, a bit like ‘we’re back and better than ever’. It’s been about finding our stride again gradually, and we hope that the new season will not only be a return to form but an even more enhanced version of it.
