Justin Roiland looking at 7 years in prison for domestic violence.

[TimeIsAPredator]

Given how all his coworkers seem glad to be rid of him I don’t see him coming back from this even if the charges are dropped.

And there was those weird texts to teenage girls.

 

[thribs]

He’s been cleared of all charges so he can get back to work on Rick and Morty.

 

[Jayson1]

They won't bring him back. To much water under the bridge now. It does make it easier to land other jobs though. After going away for a couple of years I would imagine.

Solar Opposites.

Originally created for the Fox Broadcasting Company, the project was shelved before being bought by Hulu and given a two-season order consisting of 8 episodes each. The series premiered on May 8, 2020. In June 2021, the series was renewed for a fourth season.[3] In October 2022, the series was renewed for a fifth season.[4]

Personally I tuned out after 30 seconds.

Gut reaction.

Technically yeah, but after everything that's been said, I really can't see it happening.
And to be clear, they aren't dropping the charges because they actually think he's innocent, they're only doing because they don't have enough evidence to win the potential court case.
It's pretty clear from all of the stories that have come out since the accusations, that he's a complete scumbag, so even though he's not going to jail, this whole thing has probably still killed or at least severely damaged his career from this point forward.

I would think the fact that he would come to work drunk probably means he's not coming back. That and the explicit texts to minors probably means that ship has long sailed away.

He has not been "cleared." Charges have been dropped because prosecutors did not think they would win in court. That is not the same thing as being found innocent.

 

[The Wormhole]

Yeah, he may be avoiding jail time, but he won't be coming back to Rick and Morty either. And getting off on a technicality is not the same as being cleared of all charges.

 

[JD]

In a case like this, if they found more evidence later, could they charge him again, or would that fall under double jeopardy? I can never remember how all of that works.

I believe, and I could be mistaken, that double jeopardy only applies if he's found not guilty after a trial.

Whoever replaces him is almost certainly going to cost much less, even if it's two people. There's really zero incentive to bring him back.

You can't replace him in this instance. Rick and Morty might as well change their names to Coy and Vance. Of course they still want to make money so they are going to ride this now dead show as far as they can. I think they have already been picked up for two more seasons.

"Beth and Beth, they're not lesbians, it's just remote masturbation. "

Full title for the spin off on every billboard.

 

[Jayson1]

I think Jerry is the more interested character to spin-off. His ordinariness being thrust into these fantastical experiences would be fun.

Travelling the multiverse looking for a new Beth who will settle for him.

 

[Jayson1]

I kind of like that. You could have Beth be part of the show but he would always be meeting new Beths. Only for them to reject him. Sometimes meeting other Jerry's as well. Maybe he could even have a arch nemesis in a dark edgy evil Jerry.

 

[Tosk]

You can't replace him in this instance.

Of course you can. There are multiple examples of non-professionals doing near-flawless versions of the voices. There's nothing unique about his voice, literally or creatively.

 

[Jayson1]

But he didn't just do the voices. He created the show. The shows often warped and edgy world view no doubt comes from him. You might get some passable stories but it will never match the heights of when it was a great show.

He hasn't written for the show for years. He's only been doing the voices, completely written by other people.

 

[Sci]

He is utterly replaceable.
