The eighth season of Rick and Morty is coming next month, and Adult Swim just released a new trailer! Watch it above.
This will be the second season where Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden will voice Rick and Morty respectively, after previous voice actor Justin Roiland left the show following allegations of domestic violence. Personally, I didn't hear much of a difference in season 7 and am looking forward to seeing how these two can add more of themselves to the show while still staying within the lines established by the first six seasons.
As for what kinds of crazy sci-fi adventures Rick and Morty will go on this time, expect the unexpected: space Catholics, Rick's Death Race car, Colonel Sanders Rick, Jerry eating a cabbage way faster than anyone should be able to eat a cabbage, Summer with short hair, mob justice, and more. Adult Swim has already released the titles for all 10 upcoming episodes. Take a peek below, in case they give you any clues:
- "Summer of All Fears"
- "Valkyrick"
- "The Rick, The Mort & The Ugly"
- "The Last Temptation of Jerry"
- "Cryo Mort a Ricker"
- "The Curicksous Case of Bethjamin Button"
- "Ricker Than Fiction"
- "Nomortland"
- "Morty Daddy"
- "Hot Rick"
Each season of Rick & Morty is divided between standalone episodes where Rick and Morty (and sometimes their family members) go on some new wacky sci-fi adventure, and story episodes that develop long-term plots, mostly involving Evil Morty and Rick's past. There are a lot of meta jokes about how the producers wish they could just do the standalone episodes and leave serialization for other shows, but the serialized episodes keep being among the best in the series, so fans always want more. I'm sure there will be one of two of those kinds of episodes in the new season, but I expect most will stand on their own, as per usual.
The eighth season of Rick and Morty will premiere on Sunday, May 25 at 11:00 p.m. EST.
