Why It’s Important: “Rick and Morty” is a hit adult animation comedy in which Roiland voices both the titular characters, Rick and Morty. Roiland’s roles will be re-cast and co-creator Dan Harmon will take over as the show’s sole showrunner, according to The Hollywood Reporter. 

The show is currently working on season seven.

While Roiland’s association with Adult Swim and Squanch Games has ended, he still has several ongoing projects with Walt Disney Company‘s (NYSE:DIS) subscription streaming service Hulu, the report noted.
