After significant domestic violence allegations against Justin Roiland surfaced earlier this month, the co-creator, executive producer, and star of Adult Swim’s flagship animated comedy Rick and Morty has parted ways with Warner Bros Discovery. The popular comedy, which Roiland and Dan Harmon co-created, acquired a large 70-episode order in 2018, the same year that Adult Swim renewed its long-term contracts with Roiland and Harmon. Six seasons of the sitcom have now aired, with 4 more to go as part of the Season 10 renewal.
Additionally, Roiland is a performer on the animated comedy Koala Man and the co-creator/executive producer of the animated series Solar Opposites on Hulu. Information on his participation in such performances would be released soon.
