"Rick and Morty" Season 3 is said to have been delayed yet again as fans are starting to get impatient about the show's upcoming premiere date. Previous reports confirmed that the new season of the animated sci-fi series from Adult Swim is going to air before the year ends. However, new reports have emerged suggesting that its premiere episode has yet to have a schedule air date, and rumor has it that it will be moved in early 2017.
Although this has yet to be confirmed by the people behind the show, the continued silence of the network and the production team has brought disappointment to the regular viewers. Now, instead of a December air date, fans will have to wait until January before they can start watching "Rick and Morty" Season 3.
It was previously revealed by the co-creator of the show, Dan Harmon, that the production team is doing its best to make sure "Rick and Morty" Season 3 will premiere before or during the holiday season of 2016. Harmon teased fans at the Magic City Comic Con, which happens at the beginning of the year that the first episode will be available in December.
According to another report, rumor has already started to spread saying that the delay of "Rick and Morty" Season 3 may have caused by the petition of several organization with regard to the show's censorship. However, this has yet to be confirmed by the Adult Swim.
Meanwhile, according to a report by iDigitalTimes, Harmon has already backpedalled from its previous announcement that "Rick and Morty" Season 3 will arrive before the end of the year. The co-creator of the animated franchise recently wrote during a Reddit AMA that he is not authorized to provide any concrete details with regard to the air date of the show's next season.
As of the moment, there is really nothing fans can do but to wait for the official announcement from Adult Swim with regard to the release of "Rick and Morty" Season 3. Stay tuned for more news and update.
