Following the ending of Rick and Morty’s seventh season, fans eagerly awaited news of the upcoming anime spinoff. However, with the absence of the series’ co-creator and original voice talent, there was a palpable sense of something amiss among even the most devoted fans.
Yet, excitement surged with the announcement of Rick and Morty: The Anime and Adult Swim has now revealed a tantalizing first-look teaser, offering a peak into the forthcoming adventures of the beloved duo.
Although specific release dates remain elusive, viewers can anticipate the anime’s arrival on screens later this year, streaming via Adult Swim and Max in the US, and likely on Netflix in Australia.
With a concise 10-episode run, Rick and Morty: The Anime pledges a whirlwind of intergalactic and interdimensional escapades, amplified by the inclusion of Summer Smith, adding an extra layer of pandemonium.
Behind the scenes, Takashi Sano spearheads the series, with SOLA Entertainment at the production helm, and a team of seasoned producers and executives ensuring the quintessence of Rick and Morty is preserved.
Yōhei Tadano and Keisuke Chiba reprise their roles as Rick and Morty, accompanied by Akiha Matsui as Summer Smith, and Manabu Muraji and Jun Irie as Jerry and Beth Smith. Furthermore, a gifted ensemble cast breathes life into minor characters, promising an immersive and laughter-filled viewing experience for fans old and new alike.
