The eagerly awaited 8th season of “Rick and Morty” is now rescheduled for 2025, a delay attributed to the 2023 Hollywood writers’ strike. Known for its annual new season releases, the series faces an unexpected hiatus this year, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
However, fans have a reason to get excited in 2024. The spin-off, “Rick and Morty: The Anime,” scheduled to premiere this year, is set to bring a fresh narrative. Directed by Takashi Sano, this new venture, embracing a Japanese animation style, promises an original story over 10 episodes, produced by Telecom Animation Film.
Recently, a teaser of the spin-off was released, sparking anticipation among the series’ enthusiasts. Meanwhile, the seventh season of “Rick and Morty,” available on HBO Max since October 2023, continues to captivate viewers.
Significant changes have been afoot in the series. Justin Roiland, co-creator and original voice of the titular characters, was dismissed from the production by Adult Swim in January 2023 following domestic violence allegations. The seventh season introduced Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden as the new voices of Rick and Morty, respectively.
These updates keep “Rick and Morty” in the limelight in the entertainment world, promising thrilling developments for fans in the coming years.
