Warner Bros. Discovery has officially ended all relations with Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland after domestic violence charges against the creative became public. Roiland is currently facing one felony count of domestic battery with corporal injury and one felony count of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud and/or deceit by the Orange County District Attorney’s office.

"Adult Swim has ended its association with Justin Roiland," a spokesperson said in an official statement on Tuesday. The decision was without question from the network despite the fact that Roiland has been one of the key minds behind their biggest franchise. As of right now, Rick and Morty is expected to continue as is without Roiland, who not only co-created the series alongside Dan Harmon but also voiced the two main characters among others. Adult Swim had previously ordered the series to a massive 70-episode order due to its popularity, meaning it's still on course for 10 seasons at the network. Roiland's role will be recast, and although he'll still be credited as co-creator, Harmon will now serve as the lone showrunner. The series concluded its sixth season late last year.
