Rick and Morty voice actors are becoming more involved in shaping their characters
Co-creator Justin Roiland voiced the iconic titular duo in the animated show for six seasons before being fired by Adult Swim due to felony domestic battery and false imprisonment charges in March 2023. Later that year, it was announced that voice-alikes would be replacing Roiland.
From season 7 onwards, Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden have been voicing Rick and Morty, respectively. In an interview with GamesRadar+ published on May 27, 2025, Cardoni and Belden stated they are ready to take "more ownership" of the characters. Cardoni said:
"I think this season gave us great opportunities to explore the range of the characters as they are on the page, and bring that same range we have inside us to the roles. [...] I think there's been an element of taking some more ownership over these roles and really trying to serve the writing that we've got."
Belden echoed Cardoni's thoughts, saying:
"I honestly think we've worked these vocal muscles in getting these voices down over the course of season seven. I think now that we've honed that, we can turn our attention to other things – serving the script, embodying the characters a little bit more, and just bringing these incredible stories to life in the way that fans have come to expect of the show."
Rick and Morty season 8 episode 1, Summer of All Fears, premiered on May 25, 2025. The second episode is scheduled to be released on June 1, 2025.
