US streaming site Hulu has followed TV channel Adult Swim in dropping Rick and Morty co-creator and voice actor Justin Roiland, over charges of domestic violence against an ex-girlfriend.

Mr Roiland voiced the title characters in Adult Swim's Emmy-winning animated sitcom about a scientist and his grandson.

Hulu and 20th TV Animation said in a statement on Wednesday that it had "ended our association with Justin Roiland", though according to the PA news agency, both of its above shows are expected to continue without him.

It comes after Adult Swim, part of the Cartoon Network, said earlier this week that Mr Roiland's best-known work, Rick and Morty, would go on without its co-creator and star for its seventh season, with his roles reportedly to be recast.

"The passionate team at Squanch will keep developing games we know our fans will love while continuing to support and improve High On Life," they said.

Mr Roiland appeared at a pre-trial hearing earlier this month and is set to return to court in April, ahead of a trial.
