The series is funny, surreal and irreverent. Its low-brow humor was what attracted attention. Morty Smith is being pulled across the universe and between alternate realities in an episode of misadventures by Rick Sanchez, his grandfather who is extremely intelligent and jaded.<\/p>\n<p>Roiland, in addition to being executive producer and co-creator, was also the voice actor of the two main characters. Roiland often adlibbed parts of their dialogue. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Warner Discovery, Adult Swim\u2019s parent company, intends to recast the iconic duo and continue the series, which has been greenlit to continue for another 4 seasons. The show\u2019s official Twitter account confirmed that production on season 7 will continue uninterrupted. Dan Harmon, co-creator of the show, will be taking over as sole showrunner.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/npS7WpywtD\">pic.twitter.com\/npS7WpywtD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rick and Morty (@RickandMorty) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RickandMorty\/status\/1618009508420386817?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 24, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The online reaction to the news was mixed.
