Rick and Morty hunt for the Easter Bunny in the first teaser for season 8

Adult Swim's animated sci-fi comedy Rick and Morty is set to return for its seventh season on Sunday, October 15. However, this season will be the first without co-creator and star Justin Roiland, who is no longer in business with Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of Adult Swim, following domestic abuse allegations. Said charges were dropped in January due to insufficient evidence. A replacement for Roiland has yet to be announced. Roiland voiced the titular Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith among other characters

Despite Roiland's departure, the Season 7 trailer looks to be full of the same signature Rick and Morty humour and adventure. The trailer features Rick and Morty taking on new threats and exploring new worlds, all while getting into plenty of hilarious mishaps.

EVIL Summer?! And will they ever go back to the high school?! Maybe not! But let’s find out! There’s probably less piss than last season. ‘Rick and Morty,’ 100 years! Or at least until season 10!”

<h2>What is Rick and Morty?</h2>

Rick and Morty is an American adult animated science fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Cartoon Network's late-night programming block Adult Swim. The series follows the misadventures of Rick Sanchez, a cynical mad scientist, and his good-hearted but fretful grandson Morty Smith, who split their time between domestic life and interdimensional adventures that take place across an infinite number of realities, often traveling to other planets and dimensions through portals and on Rick's flying saucer.

Rick is a brilliant but eccentric scientist who is constantly inventing new gadgets and devices. He is also a heavy drinker and chain-smoker. Morty is a kind and intelligent boy who is often out of his depth on Rick's adventures.

The show is known for its dark humour, complex characters, and exploration of scientific and philosophical concepts. It has been praised for its originality, creativity, and willingness to push boundaries.

Rick and Morty Season 7 to arrive sans co-creator Justin Roiland. Watch trailer

All charges against Justin Roiland, co-creator and star of the animated Adult Swim TV series Rick and Morty, have been dismissed by the Orange County District Attorney's Office. Kimberly Edds, spokeswoman for the district attorney's office, told NPR that there was not enough evidence to prove the case 'beyond a reasonable doubt.' Roiland had pleaded not guilty to two felony domestic violence charges in 2020. He was charged in Orange County, California with one count of domestic battery and one count of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud and/or deceit. Roiland took to Twitter to celebrate his acquittal, saying that he has always "known that these claims were false — and I never had any doubt that this day would come."

Adult Swim ends association with 'Rick and Morty' co-creator Justin Roiland after domestic abuse charges

Popular adult cartoon series 'Rick and Morty' has been known for its outlandish plots yet at the same time nuanced writing. The sci-fi TV show and its writers have received plaudits from fans and critics over the years for maintaining this special formula.

Popular adult cartoon series 'Rick and Morty' has been known for its outlandish plots yet at the same time nuanced writing. The sci-fi TV show and its writers have received plaudits from fans and critics over the years for maintaining this special formula. Now, eagle-eyed fans in Hong Kong have spotted a message from the creators that points toward the city's democracy movement that took place in 2020 and shows solidarity with the protestors. Reportedly, in the fifth episode titled "Final DeSmithation" of the ongoing sixth season, some letters and numbers flash on the screen during the climax. While the unsuspecting numbers and letters may appear random to a layman, some devoted viewers got down to decoding them. Read more: Halloween special: 'Rick and Morty' short to come out next month The significance of codes GFHG19SDGM, 721DLLM and 19HK831 spotted by Hong Kongers was explained on Reddit. The first code is a pseudonym for the slogan "Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times" which has been declared illegal in Hong Kong by the Chinese authorities. The phrase was first used in 2016 but gained prominence during the pre-democracy protests. Similarly, DLLM (short of “Diu Lei Lou Mo”) is a popular cuss word in Hong Kong which is usually hurled at the recipient's mother. Reportedly, during the protest, both the authorities and protestors hurled the particular word at each other rather frequently. The internet sleuths also deduced that the numbers in the last two codes could be referring to the August 31, 2019 incident when the protestors were attacked at a train station in Yuen Long by government supporters and police. Read more: Hong Kong passes law that can censor even past films, to safeguard 'national security' After the revelation went viral on social media platforms, scores of Hong Kong citizens thanked the show creators for showing support in their own way. "Thank you to the producers of Rick and Morty," one of the netizens commented in the forum. Meanwhile, another said, "The ingenuity and longevity of creative protest is laudable." As reported extensively by WION, China introduced the highly controversial National Security Bill for Hong Kong in 2020 amid a sea of protests. The bill, which is now a law in Hong Kong, attempts to punish crimes of secession, sedition, and collusion with foreign forces. Read more: Man plays ‘Glory to Hong Kong’ while paying tribute to Queen, held under sedition law When the bill was passed despite ordinary Hong Kong folks taking to the streets for months, it was described by the pro-democracy activists as ‘the end of the Hong Kong that the world knew before’. It was always believed that free speech will be culled after the passing of the law. And since then, on multiple occasions, ordinary citizens have been locked or beaten black and blue for deviating from the set standards of free speech.

Adult Swim has not menitoned anything about 'Rick and Morty' short but has left a fifteen-minute slot open--between 11 to 11:15 pm ET--pretty much confirms the air time for this halloween-special short.&nbsp; 
The Halloween special will be an anime of horror in between normal episodes. The synopsis says, "Rick plans to build the ultimate AI toaster; Things take a strange turn when he and Morty are forced to travel to Akihabara for spare parts."&nbsp;

 
Interestingly, this is not the first time Rick and Morty have paid tribute to anime whiel doing normal episodes. 'Summer Meets God' (Rick Meets Evil) also took inspirtation from Voltron and Evangelion in a rather odd commentary on Japanese animation directed by Tower of God's Takashi Sano. Sano also directed Rick and Morty vs. Genocider, another teaser sort of anime short that was released before season 5 premiere.&nbsp;
