Rick and Morty Will Be Reliant On Soundalikes To Replace Justin Roiland’s Voice

The tides are changing in the animated cosmos of Rick and Morty. The highly-anticipated seventh season, poised to grace the screens of Adult Swim aficionados soon, will sound eerily familiar despite the notable absence of series co-creator Justin Roiland from the voice booth.

In the contemporary animation landscape, Rick and Morty consistently embraces bold shifts. This time, the transformation is unfolding backstage. Adult Swim made an unexpected decision to sever ties with the distinctive Justin Roiland, the vocal powerhouse behind both Rick and Morty. As one can imagine, filling Roiland’s shoes is no mean feat, considering his unique vocal timbre that has become synonymous with the titular characters.

Amid growing curiosity, the creative minds behind the show provided some insight into their plans during the San Diego Comic-Con 2023 weekend. The revelations emerged from the “Adult Swim Festival on the Green” where the Rick and Morty creative team, spearheaded by Executive Producer Steve Levy, engaged with ardent fans per The Hollywood Reporter.

Levy and his team candidly expressed that they are nearing the culmination of their exhaustive search for Roiland’s replacement. However, fans hoping for a dramatic on-screen acknowledgment of this shift might be in for a surprise. Levy shared,

“We are closing in on the end of our process of the recast. It’s gonna be great. I am thoroughly impressed with everything that’s going on, including all the work on season seven.”

Addressing a fan’s query on potential meta character adjustments reflecting the voice actor changes, Levy clarified their intent to maintain a semblance of continuity. He emphasized that the goal is to cast vocal doppelgängers or “soundalikes” to ensure the beloved characters stay consistent in their auditory presence. Levy explained,

“It’s soundalikes. The characters are the same characters — no change.”

Speculations are rife regarding who might inherit the vocal reins of the series’ central figures. While Adult Swim has kept its cards close to the chest, not revealing the successors yet, Levy assured fans that the essence of the characters remains intact. With the upcoming season’s episodes already wrapped up and primed for release, he teased a premiere that’s just around the corner.

For fans keen to traverse the adventures of the duo’s initial six seasons, binge-watching sessions await on streaming giants Hulu and HBO Max. In addition, Rick and Morty universe is expanding. An anime adaptation of the series is on the horizon, with its debut expected this Fall, per recent television announcements.

Rick and Morty’s forthcoming seventh season looks set to celebrate the show’s enduring bond with its fans and its rich heritage. While Roiland’s departure is undeniably significant, the series aims to balance change with familiarity, ensuring that the heart (and voice) of the show beats strong and true.
