Fans of the series "Rick and Morty" continues to wait in agony as to when season 3 will finally air. Numerous reports state that production team is still in the works so air date could be moved until next year. In one of the recent interviews with the show's writer, they explain that the story has already been written but the animation department needs more time to complete their part.
According to "Rick and Morty" writer, Erica Rosbe, the written story has been completed about 4 weeks ago and the animation department is doing their best to finish animating. Hopefully, in 2 weeks or less, the office will be able to screen the episodes and finalize it.
The finalizing process should not take long to do their part. According to the writer, as soon as the animation department is done, it will be forwarded right away to the "Rick and Morty" production offices for screening. If everything is done as scheduled then the series might just make it before the year ends.
However, the problem lies in the animation department and the fact that there is no specific date when they can finish their part. This means that nothing is still certain and there is a big possibility that the show will air next year. In one of the interviews with Dan Harmon, he mentions how hard the entire team of "Rick and Morty" animation department is working and how they take their job seriously. The show has been recognized for their high standard of production value so they're not lowering their standard for any reason.
One of the reasons why "Rick and Morty" are loved by many is because of its unique method of presenting their show such as retro-scripting or ad-libbed dialogues that make the series more funny and relatable. In conclusion, it looks like there is still no specific date or month when "Rick and Morty" will come out and fans will just have to wait for updates from the show's production team.
