Rick and Morty Season 8 Debuts at Number One, Surpassing James Gunn’s Show
After a tumultuous Season 7, Rick and Morty has made a triumphant return with its Season 8 debut on HBO Max, securing the number one spot globally on the streaming platform. The show’s success has even surpassed James Gunn’s own series, a detail ironically highlighted by the fact that Gunn himself had a cameo in a key episode.
A standout episode, “Ricker Than Fiction,” is noted for its clever cameos, including appearances by both James Gunn and Zack Snyder. This episode’s success helped propel Rick and Morty past Gunn’s Peacemaker Season 2 in the U.S. charts. The show’s popularity isn’t limited to the U.S., with strong viewership in countries like Australia, Belize, Poland, and Slovakia.
While some fans were initially frustrated by the delay between the TV finale and its streaming availability, the wait ultimately made the binge-watching experience all the more satisfying.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
