The seventh season of Sibling Rivalries begins the series' current second revival era, after being revived again following the Season 6 cancellation in 2018.
Season 7 brings back the series to present day, as Season 6 is set entirely during summer 2016 (despite being written in summer-fall of 2018), although nothing changes regarding the characters or their world; the series is simply brought back to its original formula of having its run time coincide with real life dates.
This season was written during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the lockdown granting GTA Nerd more time to work on comics, and thus complete subsequent seasons faster than before. In the comic "Fightin' Irish", the characters must quarantine themselves from a disease named the "Cerberus Flu" (as a reference to COVID-19). Although the comic is set in real time and thus real-life elements are mentioned, the events of the series' flu pandemic only lasted for the entire rest of March with a cure being found, so no other comics are set in a pandemic.

Trivia[]
- This is GTA Nerd's favorite season along with Season 5. He especially likes this season for beginning a new era of the series with higher-quality comics.
- Season 7 is the first to not have any comic titles end in any punctuation marks.
- This season contains the shortest comic titles, with no titles being longer than three words.
- This season only took two months to complete the season, being the shortest time in SR history it ever took to finish a season; GTA Nerd had extra time to work on comics due to COVID-19 closing most outside functions.
- This is the fourth season to have all comics written in the same year, after Seasons 1, 4, and 6.
- Angel appears in all comics of these season, even including cameo appearances, being the first time since he was added as a main character where he was present for all comics. Salvador also appears in every comic, being the third season after Seasons 2 and 3 where he had no absences. Lastly, recurring character Steve Madison appears in all comics of this season, similar to Jose Gonzales appearing in all Season 5 comics despite not being a main cast member.
- This is the third season to not have any "special" comics, which are longer than regular length comics, after Seasons 1 and 4.
- Season 7 was meant to begin several years ago, in late 2018 or early 2019, as "Brothers For Life" was actually meant to be the series opener back when Season 6 was meant to only be six comics long. However, the original Season 7 was cancelled, and "Brothers For Life" was marked as part of Season 6, because GTA Nerd did not think he would write any more comics and did not want to leave Season 7 with only one comic.
