In January, the Orange County District Attorney’s office announced that Roiland had been charged with one felony crime of domestic abuse with bodily injury and one felony offense of false imprisonment by threat, violence, fraud, and/or deceit. Roiland has entered a not-guilty plea to the accusations.
The lead characters Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith are also voiced by Roiland, who co-created the adult animated sci-fi sitcom with Dan Harmon. Reportedly, Roiland’s voice parts will be replaced for upcoming seasons. In 2018, Adult Swim placed a 70-episode order for the popular show and inked long-term contracts with Roiland and Harmon.
After season 6’s airing concluded in December, the show was renewed for ten seasons, with four more to go. Other works by Roiland include co-creating the Hulu series Solar Opposites, in which he plays the lead role of Korvo. In October, the show received a fifth-season renewal.
