One of the most highly anticipated events on tv is the "Rick and Morty" Season 3 release date. Fans were initially hopeful that it may happen within this year. Yet with only 20 days to go before the year ends, can the "Rick And Morty" Season 3 air date still happen by then?
'Rick and Morty' Season 3 Air Date Speculations
Currently, the speculations surrounding the "Rick and Morty" Season 3 premiere can be divided into two groups. One group believe and hope that the third season would premiere in the remaining days of 2016 while the other group believe that it is highly unlikely to happen this year and consider early 2017 to be the more realistic possibility.
There are two basis for those who believe in a "Rick and Morty" Season 3 release date before the end of 2016. Of course there was that reveal by co-creator Dan Harmon at the Magic City Comic Con that the team is gunning for a 2016 release, as reported by Den of Geek. Another development that might support the optimistic expectation is the previous revelation by the series' writers that the script for all episodes have been finished as far back as September of 2016.
Meanwhile, those who believe on a 2017 "Rick and Morty" Season 3 air date based their belief on Mr. Poopy butthole's announcement at the end of the second season predicting a year and a half wait or by March 2017 before the third installment arrives. There are also various people online who claim to have insider info on the third season production progress who are predicting that it might be difficult to meet the 2016 release goal. As December progresses, it now appears that the second group could be right, the chances of a 2016 release is getting slimmer with each passing day.
A Surprise 'Rick and Morty' Season 3 Premiere?
Or is it? A previous GamenGuide report hints that its showrunners might be cooking up a surprise. Of course the surprise could mean that the "Rick and Morty" Season 3 release date could be coming sooner than some expectations. And there are twenty days to go before the year ends, more than enough time to stage a perfect Holiday Season surprise to the show's loyal fans.
Fan Reacts To Delayed 'Rick and Morty' Season 3 Premiere
Meanwhile, all this waiting for the "Rick and Morty" Season 3 air date had some fans a bit emotional, probably out of frustration. According to a report, a Twitter fan targeted Dan Harmon's active social presence saying, "Someone take away Harmon's Twitter until he finished season 3."
The implication is that Harmon might not be doing his best to speed up the "Rick and Morty" Season 3 release if he still has time for social media. However, Harmon responded by challenging those who doubt to give a flowchart on how they think animation and TV is done. Fans must understand that it is not only Harmon that is working on the series' completion. The entire team had to work in synch for them to finish and some delays due to revisions and such are all in a day's work
The final say on the matter is either it's showrunners or Adult Swim but neither is saying anything at the moment. Stay tuned to GamenGuide for the official announcement of the "Rick and Morty" Season 3 air date.
