The nearly six-month search for replacements spanned thousands of candidates before landing on two newcomers, who “brought this show 30 more years,” says showrunner Scott Marder. “We just got these eager, young guys who are so excited to attack every episode.
Roiland departed from the show earlier this year amid allegations of workplace toxicity and since-dismissed charges of domestic violence . Roiland, who was also replaced by Dan Stevens as the lead character voice on Hulu’s animated series Solar Opposites, has denied more recent allegations of sexual misconduct.
In a weird way, catering to the idea that there’s been a replacement of a single human being—an auteur—is going to play into the disruption factor. We really want people to keep believing these characters are real.” Pressure to recast the roles was exacerbated by a stunning 70-episode renewal back in 2018 by Adult Swim. “The high-class problem that Harmon and I had was that we were writing season nine—seasons beyond where we’re at right now,” Marder explained.
