Rick and Morty Season 8 Story: Plot, Theories & What to Expect
Season 8 is set to deliver more classic Rick and Morty adventures, but several key storylines are trending among fans and critics:
- Poopybutthole’s Dark Turn: The Season 7 finale revealed Mr. Poopybutthole using Rick’s portal gun to invade another reality, kill his variant, and take his place. This creates a major storyline about family turmoil, identity, and the consequences of tampering with the multiverse.
- Rick’s Next Chapter: With the death of Rick Prime and Evil Morty’s warning, Season 8 may focus on Rick moving on and finding a new purpose, possibly facing new villains or alternate versions of familiar characters.
- Evil Morty’s Return: Fans speculate that Evil Morty and the mysterious Omega Device could play a role, with the showrunners hinting at a long-term saga for this fan-favorite antagonist.
- Classic Adventures with a Twist: Expect a mix of episodic hijinks and deeper character arcs, especially as the show approaches its planned ten-season run.
Rick and Morty Season 7 Finale Explained: How It Sets Up Season 8
The Season 7 ending was a game-changer:
- Mr. Poopybutthole’s Multiversal Invasion: In a post-credits twist, he steals Rick’s portal gun, travels to another universe, kills his counterpart, and assumes his life. This echoes Scarlet Witch’s arc in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and sets up a potential multiverse crisis.
- Family Fallout: With Amy (Poopybutthole’s wife in the new universe) growing suspicious, Season 8 is poised to explore the emotional and ethical fallout of this act and Rick’s reaction to his friend’s self-destructive choices.
- Multiverse at Risk: Rick’s warning about tampering with space and time could have major ramifications, possibly weakening the Central Finite Curve and inviting threats like Evil Morty back into the story.

About Rick and Morty
Rick and Morty is an American animated science fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon. The series follows Rick Sanchez, an alcoholic, nihilistic mad scientist, and his easily distressed grandson, Morty Smith as they travel to parallel dimensions and exotic planets with extraterrestrials. These adventures commonly cause trouble for Morty’s family (Jerry, Beth, and Summer), who are often dragged along as well.
The series premiered on December 2, 2013, on Cartoon Network’s late-night programming block Adult Swim. On May 10, 2018, Adult Swim announced a long-term deal with the creators, ordering 70 new episodes of Rick and Morty, through to a tenth season. At a New York Comic Con panel in 2024, it was announced that the series had been renewed for an additional two seasons, renewing the show through season 12.
As of December 17, 2023, 71 episodes of Rick and Morty have aired, concluding the seventh season. The eighth season is slated to premiere on May 25, 2025
