Is Dan Harmon still running ‘Rick and Morty?’

He's sure been quiet the last few months. Here's what we know about Dan Harmon's involvement in 'Rick & Morty.'

Production on Rick and Morty‘s seventh season was a real crucible.

First, there were allegations of domestic abuse against series co-creator and voice actor Justin Roiland that led to Adult Swim parting ways with him. Then, the SAG-AFTRA strike began — and prevented actors from honing performances that weren’t already recorded before July.

Regardless, the new season premiered on Oct. 15.

You know who hasn’t said much about the new season? Series co-creator/showrunner Dan Harmon.

Is Dan Harmon still involved with Rick and Morty?

Yes, Dan Harmon is now the sole creator leading the series. Although some wondered if Harmon walked away from the show when Roiland was dismissed — or even was fired outright as part of the problematic Roiland crew — sources say the two creators weren’t even on speaking terms for the last several seasons.

So perhaps Roiland’s dismissal was a nice little gift for Harmon, despite necessitating the recasting of the two lead roles, both of which Roiland voiced himself.

Besides the new voices, the seventh season of Rick and Morty is largely the same show that fans have come to know and love. (There are also rumors that Roiland hadn’t contributed any meaningful content to the series in years, so it may be that the new voices are literally the only difference).

Work on season 8 is already underway, according to sources. Let’s hope a massive comet doesn’t hit Hollywood and screw up that production as well.
