For decades, networks have tried switching up the talent of specific characters on their popular series, but futilely tried to do so without fans and viewers alike noticing too much. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air tried it with Aunt Viv and, more recently, Ayo Edebiri replaced Jenny Slate for the voice of Missy on Big Mouth. Solar Opposites is trying a whole new tactic, complete transparency, since the ousting of series co-creator Justin Roiland and his disturbing domestic abuse charges unveiled just months ago.

Korvo, the lead alien in Solar Opposites that used to be voiced by Roiland, will now be voiced by UK phenom Dan Stevens (who has done everything from Legion to a Beauty and the Beast remake) with his actual British voice. Even though Stevens is talented enough to nail Roiland’s often hardened American cadence, Solar Opposites has opted to have a clever plot device to essentially retcon Korvo as a posh, yet still angry, alien.

For our money, it kind of really works (though, we’re not sure what sort of precedent this is setting for other series down the line?) Get a taste of what’s to come for yourself with the new new Solar Opposites coming to Hulu on Mon. Aug. 14th here.
