Adult Swim has cut ties with Rick and ai 18+Mortyco-creator and star Justin Roiland, and is moving forward with the cult show's new season without him. The announcement comes in the wake of felony domestic violence charges against Roiland being made public.
Roiland's presumably involuntary departure was revealed in a post on the official Rick and MortyTwitter account on Tuesday. The post was subsequently retweeted by the official Adult Swim account.
"Adult Swim has ended its association with Justin Roiland," the account wrote in a black and white text image. "Rick and Mortywill continue. The talented and dedicated crew are hard at work on Season 7."

In addition to co-creating and executive producing Rick and Morty, Roiland has provided the voice for both title characters for all six seasons of the show thus far. A spokesperson for Adult Swim's parent company Warner Bros. Discovery has said these roles will now be recast.
Roiland was charged with domestic violence in May 2020, however the public wasn't made aware of the case until he appeared in court for a pre-trial hearing earlier this month. NBC News reported that the 42-year-old has pleaded not guilty to two felonies: domestic battery with corporal injury, and false imprisonment by menace, fraud, violence, or deceit. His hearing is currently scheduled for Apr. 27.
