While Adult Swim is still mum on the return date for Rick and Morty season 3, they did offer us Rick and Morty claymation spots to hold us over.
It's not enough. We're itching for new episodes, brah!
In a move surprising pretty much nobody, Adult Swim announced that Rick and Morty season 3 is happening... only three episodes into the second season. It's probably because of how much higher viewership numbers are this year. This means they can keep kicking the rest of cable television right up its boring, stupid ass! Who even cares about True Detective, huh? Who even cares?!
“It’s an honor to see Rick and Morty join the exclusive club of shows over nineteen episodes,” quipped co-creator Dan Harmon. Other co-creator Justin Roiland commented, “I am blown away by the seemingly instant success of Rick and Morty. I look forward to continuing their adventures!”
Harmon also added that “It’s time to demand that the network allows us to draw the characters going to Hawaii."
You heard it here! In Rick and Morty season 3, they're going to Hawaiiiii, biiiiiitch!

Finally, a clip! It lacks color and proper animation, but it's something!
Rick and Morty Season 3 Release Date
At the end of season two, Mr. Poopybutthole said Rick and Morty season 3 wouldn't happen for another year and a half... so March 2017. Dan Harmon, it seems, isn't going to listen to Mr. Poopybutthole. The co-creator teased the premiere date during a panel at Magic City Comic Con, stating that they're "targeting around the end of this year."
A few other Rick and Morty writers confirmed that episodes were completed as of Sept. 28th, pending review from their animation studio. At this point, it seems as though Rick and Morty season 3 will release in early 2017. Damn you, Mr. Poopybutthole!
Rick and Morty Season 3 Teasers

Rick and Morty Season 3 Writers Room Notes and Interviews
Think making great television is easy? At San Diego Comic-Con, Dan Harmon spoke with Den of Geek about the perfectionism that goes into the production of Rick and Morty.
Justin Roiland filled us in on the potential return of a fan-favorite theme episode, and possibly more Mr. Meeseeks.
The Rick and Morty writers room is getting more diverse, dawg! Hear it from Dan Harmon himself:
“We hired a bunch of new writers,” Dan Harmon told Den of Geekin an exclusive interview. “There was a craving for a gender balance in the writers’ room that we had never had, but I’m also very proud of the fact that we didn’t compromise ourselves following that craving. We just looked harder and I don’t know if it was coincidence or because the show was popping up on the radar of a lot of great female writers noticing, ‘Well, they don’t have any women writers in there. I’m gonna submit something.’ It was probably a combination of all those factors.”
Speaking on season two's cliffhanger, Harmon said Rick could, probably, maybe, be okay:
“I don’t think anybody wants to do a third season that simply spends a whole bunch of episodes dealing with a situation that we created at the end of the second season. So I think that’s a non-spoiler way of saying things should be okay pretty quickly.”
Rick and Morty Season 3 Episodes
In the same Magic City Comic Con panel were Harmon revealed that the production schedule is pointing to a late 2016 premiere, he said that Rick and Morty season 3 will comprise 14 episodes. Season 1 ran for 11 episodes, while season 2 was cut down to 10.
