As expected following yesterday's news that Adult Swim had severed all ties with Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland, Hulu has now parted ways with the creative. He was the co-creator and one of the leads on the acclaimed comedy Solar Opposites as well as an executive producer and voice actor on Koala Man. Both are now expected to go on without him and his roles will be recast.
"We have ended our association with Justin Roiland," 20th Television Animation and Hulu Originals said in a joint statement. Roiland is currently facing up to seven years in prison after being charged with one felony count of domestic battery with corporal injury and one felony count of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud, and/or deceit.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Although Rick and Morty is Roiland's most ubiquitous work, he was a major factor in Hulu and 20th Century Animation's long-term plans as well. He and Mike McMahan, one of the writers for Roiland's flagship series, teamed up with the streamer to release Solar Opposites on May 8, 2020. Roiland stars as Korvo, the "leader" of the family of aliens living on Earth, and provides a number of other voices as well.
Roiland Also Resigned From His Video Game Company In the Wake of the Charges On Tuesday, it was also revealed that Roiland stepped down from Squanch Games, the video game developer he co-founded alongside former Epic Games executive Tanya Watson. Originally formed under the name Squanchtendo with offices in Burbank, California, and Raleigh, North Carolina, the studio published a number of comedic gaming titles including Accounting+, Dr.
The future of Squanch Games after Roiland is somewhat uncertain as he eventually became the sole CEO of the developer. Updates on previously released games are expected to continue as planned, however, particularly for High on Life which the company assured would not be left behind. "The passionate team at Squanch will keep developing games we know our fans will love while continuing to support and improve High on Life," a statement from the development team read.
