'Rick and Morty' reveals replacements for Justin Roiland in Season 7 premiere
The seventh season of Rick and Morty premiered Sunday night and the identities of the new voice actors for titular characters Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith have finally been revealed.
Ian Cardoni is the new voice of Rick and Harry Belden now voices Morty. Their names appeared in the credits after the episode.
The trailer for the show's seventh season was released in September without revealing who would voice the titular characters.
"We want the show to speak for itself. We believe in the strength of the season and our new voices and we want to preserve the viewing experience for fans," a spokesperson for Adult Swim said in a statement to USA TODAY at the time.
Justin Roiland departs Rick and Morty after allegation
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.
