Rick and Morty Season 5 Cast and Character Guide
Sophia Petrillo: The matriarch of the show which is always making time with her grandson Jerry’s son Ben (Jerry Jr.). Although she doesn’t have a whole lot of screen time on the show, Sophia has been quite active on Twitter lately, teasing fans about Rick and Morty’s season five release date.
Christina Hendricks is playing the role of Tammy, a woman who runs an organization that organizes rick’s adventures.
Dan Harmon will be voicing Rick Sanchez while Justin Roiland voices his grandson, Morty Smith Spencer Grammer, plays summer and Beth Smith (Morty’s mother) and Jerry Smith (Beth’s husband). Other confirmed cast members are Sarah Chalke, Chris Parnell, and Brandon Johnson.
Main Characters in Season 5
Rick Sanchez: a genius scientist who is generally irresponsible when it comes to his family, though he does love them. His grandfather was also much like him in that sense. He’s gone through some difficult changes. Since we last saw him as a human being. As well as maintaining his intelligence and inventiveness. At the same time, they stripped of all other things about himself. Or even any other humans for the company (except Jerry). It has not yet been confirmed if he’ll be present at all in Season Five. But this would make an interesting story arc; that might see Rick come full circle. And regressing to his human form.
Jerry Smith: Rick’s son-in-law, husband of Beth, and father of Summer. He’s a simple man. Who has been content with living in Rick’s shadow; for most of the series’ run? But it was announced that he would have an expanded role in Season Five.
Beth Smith: Rick’s daughter – Ronny galaxies girlfriend. As well as wife/mother to Jerry Jr., not much is known about her character other than she always seems too exhausted or preoccupied with the kids to really do anything interesting outside of catering to them, which could be explored ideas of the house.
Summer Smith: rick’s granddaughter from Jerry and Beth; she has a strong bond with her grandpa Rick but is still very much grounded in reality as opposed to rick, who often takes Summer on adventures that are beyond strange or immoral (so not ricks fault).
Randy Springer: A character introduced at Season Four’s end, he seems like an incompetent fool for most of his appearances – though it might be revealed that this act is just how he gets by because we know nothing about him yet other than him being friends with rick.
Filming and Production of Rick and Morty
The production of Rick and Morty Season Five has been a bit complicated for Dan Harmon. There have been reports that the showrunner was fired before Adult Swim executives rehired him after an employee called him “an abusive bully” on Twitter. The network confirmed that they had taken this action due to unspecified offensive behavior but defended their decision saying that it would be detrimental to not have Mr. Harmon at the helm of rick and Morty series five, given his integral role in its success so far.
The plot of Season Five
Rick and Morty season five is expected to be a ten-episode series that will air on Adult Swim before this year. It has been confirmed by co-creator Justin Roiland that there are more rick and Morty episodes past season five. However, he also said, “I don’t know if we can sustain it much longer than that.” Formal plot points have not yet surfaced, but fans would love to see some similarities in plots as seen with other seasons like “A Rickle In Time,” which involved time travel, or “Big Trouble in Little Sanchez,” where they were both transported into a video game.
