What would the series do without Roiland? Well, the quick answer was that “Rick and Morty” was going to move on without Roiland and under the sole guidance of co-creator Dan Harmon.

Everyone’s favorite space-based alien family, the “Solar Opposites,” are returning to Hulu for a third season.

Co-creators Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan both worked on the acclaimed sci-adventure series “Rick and Morty,” with Roiland voicing both lead characters and McMahan writing. Much like “Rick and Morty,” science and technology are at the forefront of the show, but a little bit of magic slips in every now and again.

Does anyone remember “The Animatrix?” Released in 2003, it is an anthology film of nine animated shorts that expanded the universe of the Wachowskis’ “The Matrix” with new characters, varying styles, and unique visions.

Holy Shlorp! Get a taste of the craziness of “Solar Opposites” season two with the official trailer of the all-new season. Last year, the adult animated comedy series “Solar Opposites,” co-created by Justin Roiland (“Rick & Morty“) and Mike McMahan (ex-writer’s assistant on “Rick & Morty”), really took the mature, strange and wacky animated world by storm. Clearly influenced by the model, style, and humor of “Rick & Morty” whence the creators came from, the series centered around a team of four aliens, voiced by Justin Roiland, Thomas Middleditch, Sean Giambrone, and Mary Mack, who escaped their exploding homeworld only to crash land into a move-in-ready home in suburban America.
