During a panel celebrating the show's tenth anniversary, producer Steve Levy addressed the recent rumors surrounding voice actor changes on Rick and Morty. Following the firing of co-creator Justin Roiland, who voiced the titular characters Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith, fans have been eager to know how the show would handle the recasting, IGN reports.

“We are closing in on the end of our process of the recast,” Levy revealed during the panel, “It’s going to be great… I’m thoroughly impressed… That’s the thing I don’t want to be overshadowed.”

He assured the fans that the recasts would be soundalikes and that the characters would remain true to their original personalities. Unlike another show that severed ties with Roiland earlier in the year, Rick and Morty would maintain continuity in their characters' voices.

Hulu's Solar Opposites chose to entirely replace Roiland's voice with British actor Dan Stevens for the character Korvo, making it evident they had cut ties with Roiland. However, Rick and Morty aims to seamlessly continue the series with the same familiar characters.
