If you’re a fan of Rick and Morty, then you’ll be excited to hear that the new season of the popular animated show is already airing on Adult Swim. Season 8 promises to be filled with bizarre worlds, unique creatures, and unexpected plot twists, based on the trailer.
The seventh season of Rick and Morty saw a significant change for the series as Adult Swim decided to part ways with Justin Roiland, the co-creator and voice behind the main characters. This decision came after Roiland faced allegations of domestic abuse and inappropriate behavior towards minors.

What could the plot of Rick and Morty season 8 be about?
The first description of the eighth season hints at exciting adventures ahead:
Rick and Morty is back for Season Eight! Life has meaning again! Anything is possible! Look out for adventures with Summer, Jerry, Beth, and the other Beth. Maybe Butter Bot will get a new task? Whatever happens, you can’t keep Rick and Morty down for long. People have tried!
The conclusion of season 7 suggests a potential shift in Rick and Morty’s dynamic. Morty’s realization of his dependency on Rick leads him to seek independence, possibly leading to more solo adventures in season 8. There’s also speculation about a collaboration with Evil Morty and a darker side of Rick being revealed.
Teasers for the new season hint at storylines involving auditions for a new Jerry and a bizarre Easter celebration on a distant planet.
Mr. Poopybutthole’s actions in the season 7 finale may play a significant role in season 8, as he swaps places with another version of himself, sparking intrigue and potential conflict.
Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen expressed excitement for the new season, promising a great viewing experience for fans.
We hope you enjoyed our theater interpretations of ‘Rick and Morty,’ especially if you are well-off/impulsive and now want to back a Broadway version of the show. For the rest of you, we’re glad you now know when Season Eight is starting so you have time to stretch and get loose because the team has yet again made a totally great season of television.
