Breaking news: Adult Swim has fired creator/star of Rick and Morty, Justin Roiland. This is after news broke last week that Roiland is being charged with battery and domestic abuse.
“Adult Swim has ended its association with Justin Roiland,” Adult Swim/Cartoon Network/Boomerang svp communications Mairie Moore said in a statement.
The roles of Rick and Morty – that Roiland voiced – is set to be recast, and production on the series will resume. Roiland’s other series, Koala Man, debuted on Hulu earlier this month. Its fate has not been reported on yet.
