Rick and Morty's creators recently revealed that the series will replace Justin Roiland with sound-alikes in season 7. Here's why this is a bad idea.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The news that Rick and Morty season 7 will replace Justin Roiland with sound-alike voice actors is bad for a variety of reasons. In January 2023, Rick and Morty voice actor Justin Roiland was accused of domestic violence. In the following weeks, Adult Swim cut ties with Roiland and announced that production would continue on Rick and Morty season 7.
In the past, Rick and Morty has constantly acknowledged the fact that it's a TV show, so ignoring this huge casting change would prove inconsistent. The change of voice actors doesn’t need to bring the entire series to a halt, but the new voices of Rick and Morty warrant an in-show nod. Even viewers who aren't aware of Roiland's departure will inevitably notice the difference in Rick and Morty’s voices.
Attempts to ignore the change feel like a refusal to diverge from the show's formula, which is dispiriting. Big Mouth's decision to replace Slate with a new actor was used as a springboard for the show to try something new. If the critical drubbing of Rick and Morty season 6, episode 9, "A Rick in King Mortur's Mort," is anything to go by, season 7 of the series needs a similar reinvention of the show's status quo.
3 Rick & Morty's Recasting Plan Actually Makes Roiland's Exit A Bigger Issue The fact that Rick and Morty’s creators feel the need to gloss over Roiland’s absence illustrates a lack of confidence in taking the series in bold new directions. By refusing to address the exit, Rick and Morty season 7 makes Roiland’s departure seem like an even bigger deal than if the series' team had simply acknowledged an in-show shift.
