In 2013, Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon teamed up to release "Rick and Morty," an Adult Swim series about an interdimensional scientist named Rick Sanchez and his grandson Morty Smith. Loosely inspired by the dynamic of "Back to the Future" for the framework of its core dynamic, "Rick and Morty" has been on for five seasons, with more on the way. Over the course of its run, the show has explored Rick's dark backstory, the truth behind his partnership with Morty, and most recently, the reason for the Central Finite Curve. Roiland provides numerous voice roles on the retro scripted series, but the two biggest roles are the two titular characters.

Though Roiland has provided his voice to numerous fan-favorite series over the course of his career as a voice actor, there is a strong argument to be made that his work on "Rick and Morty" is currently the defining work of his career. The show took off with its 1st season on Adult Swim and has retained a loyal fanbase ever since. Much of that can be attributed to Roiland's work as both Rick and Morty, which walks a fine line between unhinged sci-fi insanity and genuine pathos.
