Watch the trailer for Rick and Morty season 7 here:
The Rick and Morty makers like to test the audience’s pain threshold with regularity. The story framework of the sci-fi adventure is riddled with disturbing content. Bloodthirsty massacres, depression, torture, suicide and the wavering morals of the two main characters make the series a unique, often masterful, but frequently unsettling experience. It’s not at number 9 in our best sci-fi series of the millennium for no reason.
But the sci-fi masterpiece recently seemed to be on the verge of ending. Justin Roiland, series creator and longtime original voice of the two main characters, was charged with domestic violence in 2020. After the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence, more people spoke out against Roiland, as NBC reported. Among other things, he was accused of sexual assault. Roiland has since stepped down from the production of Rick and Morty.
After the scandal, many fans feared for the fate of the series. The new seventh season of Rick and Morty was also released in Germany in October 2023. But what does the future hold for the sci-fi adventure?
