In January, Adult Swim parted ways with the Emmy-winning show's co-creator, Justin Roiland, who also voiced Rick and Morty in the first six seasons, as he faced charges of felony domestic violence against a former girlfriend. Two months later, the Orange County District Attorney's office dropped charges against him due to insufficient evidence proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
