Rick and Morty Season 8 Preview: Arcade Morty, Homesteader Rick & More
Adult Swim's Rick and Morty shared some very interesting looks at character and background designs from the upcoming eighth season.
While we still don't have a premiere date for Adult Swim's eighth season of Rick and Morty, we did learn quite a bit of what we can expect during New York Comic Con in October 2024 (more on that below), as well as a first-look preview (waiting for you above) and a holiday-themed teaser (waiting for you below). Now, the fine folks over at Cartoon Network's late-night programming block and the Emmy Award-winning series are offering a fan a look at some very interesting artwork spotlighting character and background designs for the upcoming season.

In terms of the panel itself, there were a number of interesting teases, previews, and updates. Spencer Grammer teased that we will be seeing a Summer-focused episode – and another new side to the character. Chris Parnell confirmed a Jerry-focused episode and teased that a holiday will be spotlighted that usually doesn't get a lot of attention. Ian Cardoni teased some new versions of Rick, while Sarah Chalke dropped that she got to play a third type of Beth in the second episode. Harry Belden and Cardoni then segued into an impromptu exchange between Rick and Morty as Morty tries to resist entering "The Vault of Spoilers" (nicely representing just how cautious everyone was about possibly even getting close to a spoiler.
