The good news is that “Rick and Morty” are expected to return for a third season. The bad news is that showrunners are still at a loss on what to focus on next.
Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon did touch on the state of “Rick and Morty” season 3 at the San Diego Comic Convention 2016, unveiling two new clips that hint at a possible release later this year.
For those who are not familiar with series, the first two season covered more on storytelling but Roiland and Harmon seem to be angling at something different for the "Rick and Morty" season 3.
'Rick and Morty' Season 3 to follow Interdimensional Cable plot?
One of the possible thing to look forward to is an interdimensional cable plot for “Rick and Morty” season 3. Storytelling will still be done though the difference is that both characters would end up reacting to what they are actually watching.
Admittedly, Adult Swim is currently working on the possible plot for season 3. To help out, Roiland went as far to include the fans on their take. With audience participation, “Rick and Morty” season 3 could turn out different and improved.
But the reality of it all is that the writers behind “Rick and Morty” season 3 are currently busy trying to pen out their ideas and eventually connect them. Until some form of affirmation on how season 3 will go, the release date of “Rick and Morty” will likely be held off.
'Rick and Morty' Season 3 air date
With much of “Rick and Morty” roll in the air, fans can look as early as November for a possible "Rick and Morty" season 3 release. If the showrunners are still undecided, the worst case scenario could be by February 2017. That window should be reasonable with the more important factor being the show itself.
