Rick and Morty: Season 3 Premiere Date Revealed
The long wait for Rick and Morty's third season is almost over. Creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon revealed tonight that new episodes will resume on Adult Swim starting Sunday, July 30.
The news came during a special live stream event, where Roiland and Harmon responded to various audience questions even as Harmon busied himself typing out a new script for the series (with plenty of audience input). In addition to the premiere date, they also confirmed that Season 3 will clock in at 10 episodes (the same length as Season 2).
Fans of the series will no doubt remember that Season 3 technically premiered already, with Adult Swim airing "The Rickshank Redemption" several times in a row on April 1 as an unexpected April Fool's Day joke. That episode was broadcast once again leading up to the live stream, though rumors that Roiland and Harmon would debut the next episode, "Rickmancing the Stone," turned out to be false. The good news is that they did reveal a new trailer for Season 3, which you can check out below:
