Why Recasting 'Rick And Morty' After The Justin Roiland ... (Forbes)

Squanch and Roiland’s hit High On Life came out in December of last year. But if there was ever a time for a show’s cancellation, this is it. That’s creepy and frankly a whole bunch of fathers out there should have murder in their heart over it. Here’s the problem: Recasting Rick and Morty is going to be nearly impossible. At the same time, Roiland’s brand is beyond tarnished at this point, not only because of the assault charges but Sources say Rick and Morty is set to continue, with Roiland’s voice roles to be recast. Frankly, Adult Swim is trying to have its cake and eat it, too. Pro-tip to all you young creators out there: Don’t drunk message underage girls and talk about sex stuff. 9, Roiland does voicework and also is an executive producer. I guess I’m more of a Gravity Falls guy. Roiland still has several projects ongoing with Hulu, including as the co-creator of the streamer’s Solar Opposites, on which he voices a main character (the show was renewed for a fifth season in October). Now, both of the titular characters are being recast with new actors.
