Earlier this year, it was renewed even further to season 12.
How will Rick move on from his grueling ordeal with Rick Prime?
Are Rick and Morty still in the fear hole?
Will Churry the churro finally come back to exact his vengeance?
They wanted to focus on telling standalone stories without building out long-running arcs.
But when they teasedRicks origin storyand the audience latched onto it, they reluctantly changed their stance on lore.
Season 7 was the most lore-heavy installment of the series to date.
Rick finally defeated his arch-nemesis and Evil Morty became more powerful than ever.
Season 7 concluded the shows biggest overarching storyline.
Rick and Morty is an animated science fiction series that follows the eccentric scientist Rick Sanchez and his impressionable grandson Morty Smith as they embark on perilous adventures across space and alternate dimensions. The show explores the impact of these exploits on Morty’s tumultuous family life and personal challenges.
He still feels terrible; now, he just has a brutal murder weighing on his conscience.
Typical for Rick, he stuffed those feelings deep down and drank himself into a stupor.
But in season 8, surely those feelings will resurface and Rick will have to deal with them.
He was introduced as a figment of the Smiths imagination who turned out to be a long-time family friend.
Then, he took a dark turn when his wife left him.
Throughout the series, Mr. Poopybutthole has gotten darker and darker.
Rick and Mortyseems to be setting Summer up for a larger role in future plotlines.
So far, Summer has been one of the series best and most underutilized characters.
Maybe thatll change when season 8 comes around.
The show hasnt made many references to the comics, but there have been a couple of crossovers.
The Vindicators originated in the comics before becoming the focus of an episode of the TV show.
Doofus Jerry is the nickname given to the version of Jerry from Dimension J197.
In his universe, Doofus Jerry is a successful business tycoon and the king of his own world.
By the end of the episode, Morty seems to have definitively escaped from the fear hole.
It would certainly be a wild narrative experiment, butRick and Mortyhas always been great at those.
Evil Morty ominously told Rick C-137 and Morty Prime that this would give him the ability to recreate it.
But that could easily change.
Alternatively, it could introduce a brand-new character as the big bad to replace Rick Prime.
The show explores the impact of these exploits on Morty’s tumultuous family life and personal challenges.
