Why is Adult Swim’s panel at Annecy Festival important?

Co-creator of the show, Justin Roiland was recently in the news due to a legal case of domestic abuse against him. Adult Swim ended its association with Roiland to keep the production house clear of any controversy. Justin, who voiced two main characters in the show, has cut ties with the company. Meanwhile, Adult Swim declared that the show would continue and a very hardworking team was coming together.

Under these circumstances, new artists might be needed to fill in the place that Justin vacated. Fans have been worrying about the show since Roiland left. Now that he has been cleared of the charges, fans were hoping Justin would join the team again. Roiland, however, has hinted at moving on from the organization and focusing on bringing back his reputation through other creative projects.

With Justin gone, Dan remains in charge of the Rick and Morty show with new voice artists coming in. Ouweleen and Levy have confirmed that the company is finalizing its recruitment process and the new voiceover would be as good as before. Since the screenwriters have stayed back, they believe that the transition would go well.
