Rick and Morty, one of the most successful adult animated television shows, was hit with a massive roadblock when Justin Roiland, who co-created and voiced both the characters since the show began, was reportedly charged with felony domestic violence in Orange County, California. The network soon fired Roiland, leaving the seventh season of Rick and Morty without the primary voice actor.

As of this writing, the network has not revealed the voice actor(s) taking over Roiland's role, despite much speculation. However, a clip released earlier today gave fans a glimpse of the new voices of Rick and Morty, which did not seem very different from Roiland's. Fans were over the moon about this and took to social media to react to the same.
