Rick and Morty Season 7 Won't Feature Any Mid-Season Breaks

While previous seasons of Rick and Morty may have opted to take a hiatus between episodes, the upcoming Season 7 will stick to a traditional schedule.


Fans of Rick and Morty need not worry about the show's upcoming Season 7 taking a break midway through.


Per The Wrap, Adult Swim has confirmed that the next installment in the hit animated series will stick to a traditional release schedule rather than splitting up the episodes into separate volumes. The reason for sticking to a standardized released model has yet to be confirmed but it marks a change of pace for Rick and Morty, which has traditionally incorporated both brief and lengthy hiatus periods in the middle of a season.


The normalized slate isn't the only change Rick and Morty fans can expect in Season 7. The show's co-creator and star Justin Roiland, who lent his voice to both leading characters, is no longer part of the show after he was hit with domestic violence allegations and claims of workplace harassment. Despite this departure, producer Steven Levy is confident that the show can grow beyond Roiland and deliver a season that may even be one of the best yet. The work that we’re doing across the board has only gotten better. When the new season comes out, we’ll focus on how amazing it all turned out. We hope the fans will realize that this is the same old show, maybe even better!" Levy said.


Rick and Morty Soldier On


Levy also explained that despite the quality of Season 7, getting to work on the latest batch of episodes was difficult for the entire creative team. "We had a rug pulled from underneath us," he said. "The only people we could lean on were each other. It would have been very easy to just say, 'I'm done and I don’t want to do anything with this show anymore.' But our crew said, 'No, we're not going to let one person drag down all of our hard work.' This show is created by this team — this family of incredibly hardworking people, and we are going to push through and show the world that we aren’t going to miss a beat."


It's currently unknown how Rick and Morty will explain the recasting of its protagonists but it may look to one of Roiland's other shows for inspiration. Solar Opposites, which also starred the actor in a leading role, used a "voice fixing ray" to mend the vocal cords of Roiland's character Corvo, accidentally granting him the voice of Downton Abbey star Dan Stevens. It remains to be seen whether Rick and Morty will incorporate a similar method.


Rick and Morty Season 7 premieres on Oct. 15 on Adult Swim.

In ‘The Disappearance of Shere Hite,’ a canceled sex researcher is reclaimed

It shouldn’t be surprising by now that history is full of groundbreaking women whose accomplishments are overlooked and whose names get buried. Sex researcher Shere Hite’s near-Stalinist erasure from popular consciousness after writing an all-time-bestselling barnburner of feminist self-actualization — 1976’s “The Hite Report on Female Sexuality” — is the mystery that undergirds documentary filmmaker Nicole Newnham’s evocative, thrilling work of cold-case portraiture, “The Disappearance of Shere Hite.” The Missouri-born Hite had been a social-history graduate student at Columbia, chafing at the school’s dismissal of her interest in sexuality, when her activism in the burgeoning Second Wave feminist movement led her to start a project centered on women’s sexual experiences. Charting and analyzing thousands of open-ended questionnaires submitted anonymously by women of all stripes, she shocked an unsuspecting public by revealing in “The Hite Report” that women didn’t need men to achieve

Every Underworld Movie, Ranked by Rotten Tomatoes

Fans and critics have shared opinions of the Underworld franchise, and Rotten Tomatoes is no exception. The Underworld series is made up of action-horror films revolving around the ongoing war between vampires and werewolves, each trying to destroy the other. Amidst this conflict, the love story between Selene, a powerful vampire, and Michael, a hybrid being, is a recurring theme. Throughout the series, figures on both sides prove to have hidden agendas.
