Rick & Morty Season 5 Updates: The Voice actors have returned for the new season of Rick and Morty along with new voice casts for many characters. The Rick and Morty series is once again rejuvenated for its new Season 5 after a year and a half from its previous season 4.
As expected, season 5 is fully packed with fast-paced fun adventures, pop culture references, signature spoofs, and absurd alien characters everything bought to life by the show’s magnificent voice artists. Season 4 was concluded with a mix of incidents in Smith’s household which includes Rick losing some of his respect and what he’d come to expect from the rest of the family. Other than this, things had returned to normal.
Beth and Jerry were mending their failed marriage and Morty and Summer started growing a bit more independent. These things set up high hopes for season 5, with all old characters still in the game.
The key feature of the series is that the voice cast always manages to put up an entertaining show and the trend continues for season 5. The old voice cast is back voicing their old characters along with the new characters and we can expect a guest cast as usual.
