The Bold Move that will Shake Season 7: Rick & Morty All Set for Exciting Justin Roiland Recasting!
Rick & Morty's groundbreaking decision to break a 10-year tradition heralds positive changes for Season 7, particularly in regards to recasting Justin Roiland The future of the show rests on this successful transition
Summary
In light of troubling accusations surrounding Justin Roiland, soundalikes will be stepping in to portray the characters of Rick and Morty for the seventh season. It may take viewers some time to acclimate to the unfamiliar voices.
The absence of a midseason break in the upcoming season will facilitate the acceptance of the new voice actors by the audience. Such breaks in prior seasons would have impeded the transition and hindered the integration of the new voices. The outcome of the recasting will ultimately determine the fate of Rick and Morty. To ensure seamless transition, the producers have made efforts, like eliminating midseason breaks, to encourage viewers to embrace the new voices and enable the series to endure.
In a significant departure from its history, the upcoming seventh season of Rick and Morty is making a change that should make it easier for audiences to accept the recasting of Justin Roiland. Roiland, the co-creator and original voice actor for the show's main characters, was terminated due to serious allegations involving domestic violence, false imprisonment, and inappropriate behavior towards minors. For season 7, the roles of Rick and Morty will be taken over by voice actors who can mimic Roiland's distinctive sound, but it may take a few episodes for viewers to adjust to the new voices.
Given that Rick and Morty explores the possibilities of a limitless multiverse, it is plausible for the series to successfully recast its main voice actor and continue the show. The production team has not yet disclosed the names of the actors chosen to portray Rick and Morty from season 7 onwards, possibly reserving the announcement for the premiere episode. Regardless of who they have hired, it will require some time for audiences to adapt to the new voices of the characters, even if they bear a striking resemblance to the originals.
Rick & Morty Season 7's Release Schedule Will Make The Recast Easier
Past seasons of Rick and Morty have experienced interruptions in their airing, with some breaks lasting for a significant amount of time. Season 1 had a hiatus of one and a half months, season 2 took a couple of weeks off, season 3 had a three-month break after its first episode, season 4 had an extensive five-month break, season 5 had a one-month break before its final two episodes, and season 6 had a month and a half break after airing six episodes. However, it has been confirmed that season 7 will not have a midseason break (according to TheWrap).
This news is particularly beneficial for the recasting of Roiland's characters, as Rick and Morty heavily relies on the audience accepting the new voice actors. Taking a month-long break during the transitional season would impede this process. A regular, weekly release schedule allows the audience more time to adjust to the recasting. The midseason breaks often prompt fans to revisit previous episodes, where Roiland's original voice work is featured, thus preventing the new voices in Rick and Morty from fully sinking in.
Rick & Morty's Future Hinges On Successfully Recasting Justin Roiland
The fate of Rick and Morty, Adult Swim's most popular and one of the biggest shows currently airing, remains uncertain. The success of the recasting will determine the series' future. If viewers do not accept the new voices of Rick and Morty, the show might struggle to survive. In order to ensure a smoother transition for the Roiland recast, the producers should consider eliminating midseason breaks.
