  • This noticeable transition was reflected in the Season 7 premiere's credits, omitting the familiar "Created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon" and instead highlighting the Rick and Morty logo.
  • The two actors have replaced co-creator and star Justin Roiland, who previously lent his voice to both main characters.

  • Roiland recently parted ways with Warner Bros following domestic abuse accusations, which were subsequently dropped due to insufficient evidence.

  • Since its inception in 2013, Rick and Morty has captivated audiences with the eccentric escapades of an unconventional genius scientist and his timid yet reluctantly adventurous grandson, as they traverse the most bizarre corners of the universe.

Who are the new voices of Rick and Morty?

According to a report by The Hollywood Reporter, the search for the new voices of Rick and Morty was nothing short of an intergalactic odyssey.

We heard thousands. It went on for six months. It was really wide. It almost went so wide that we debated doing a global hotline though we knew it would wind up being a prank line.
- Scott Marder, Rick and Morty showrunner, who led the casting search. 
  • After an extensive six-month quest from a pool of thousands, newcomers Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden have secured their roles aboard the Space Cruiser.
  • Before assuming the role of Rick, Cardoni was recognized for his performances in Larry David's "Clear History," promotional work for Syfy's "Resident Alien," and his narration during WWE's "Wrestlemania 37."

  • On the other hand, Harry Belden, set to portray Morty, gained recognition for his role in "Chicago MD."

They just brought this show 30 more years. We just got these eager, young guys who are so excited to attack every episode.
-  Scott Marder to Hollywood Reporter.
