It\u2019s been a rollercoaster of a season for Rick and Morty<\/a>, as the seventh series not only served up some fresh voice acting talent in the main roles, but also featured plenty of action<\/a> and cameo appearances.<\/p>\n

Season 7 was much anticipated in the run up to its premiere this October, mainly on account of the fact that co-creator Justin Roiland was being replaced as the voice of both of the title characters, with Ian Cardoni as Rick and Harry Belden as Morty<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Well, as the season 7<\/a> finale has now aired, fans are only going to now be wondering if and when an eighth season will be landing on our screens. The good news is that it looks as though season 8 is most definitely on the horizon, with co-creator Dan Harmon confirming that it\u2019s actually already been written.<\/p>\n

Speaking to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Harmon revealed<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s all been very challenging, I was certainly never gonna let the show die. We\u2019re writing season 9, we had way too much quality work down the pipe that I would have never let go away. Because I\u2019m so proud of what people even get to see in season 7.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, when can we expect season 8 to be released? Read on to find out more about the next season of Rick and Morty.<\/p>

Will there be a Rick and Morty season 8?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yes, there will be!<\/strong> In fact, Rick and Morty was actually renewed for an eighth season alongside the most recent seventh, ninth and tenth seasons by Adult Swim in January 2023.<\/p>\n

As of now, there is no confirmed release date<\/strong> for Rick and Morty season 8.<\/p>\n

But if we\u2019re to use previous season release dates as a marker of when we could be expecting the next season, we could be looking at season 8 coming out in 2024 or 2025. The previous two seasons have been released in the latter half of the year, one year apart, so anytime from September to October 2024 could be likely.<\/p>\n

Who will return in Rick and Morty season 8?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We\u2019d of course expect new voice actors Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden to return as Rick and Morty, as well as the rest of the main cast. As per usual, the series will likely include guest stars.<\/p>\n

Season 7 has included the likes of Hugh Jackman and Ice-T, so we\u2019ll just have to wait and see what exciting characters could be on the horizon in season 8.<\/p>\n

The cast members we\u2019d expect to make a return for season 8 are as follows.<\/p>\n

  • Ian Cardoni as Rick Sanchez<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Harry Belden as Morty Smith<\/strong><\/li>\n
