This Sunday, Rick and Morty returns with Season 8 on Adult Swim. To celebrate, Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko sat down with the voice cast to dig into what it’s like returning to the world of Pickle Rick, Space Beth, and many, many Mortys.
With a crackling team of comedy writers, this sci-fi cartoon series has thrilled critics and fans season after season. But is there ever a time the voice cast is a bit envious over a particularly killer line of dialogue? For Ian Cardoni, who took over voicing Rick Sanchez in Season 7, it’s been a dream to make some of the mad scientist’s catchphrases his own.
Spencer Grammer, who voices Rick’s surly granddaughter, Summer Smith, admits she’s in the scene that’s a personal favorite. But it was her thirsty scene-partner’s lines she wished were hers. (If you’re thinking “beekeeping age,” you win a million flurbos!)
As for Harry Belden, who took over voicing Morty in Season 7, he admits it’s Morty’s mom, Beth (Sarah Chalke), that he can’t help quoting. And his co-stars agree.
What kind of wild one-liners and rants about lust will come this season? You’ll have to tune into Adult Swim to find out.
Rick and Morty Season 8 premieres May 25 at 11 p.m. ET on Adult Swim, and streams on Max and Hulu Sept. 1.
