It's been a while since fans heard any official announcements about Adult Swim's "Rick and Morty" Season 3. The lack of updates and news has since worried its avid fanbase, who have held on to Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon's promise that the black comedy animated series will be returning to television before the year ends.
But as the year comes to a close and no "Rick and Morty" Season 3 in the horizon, fans are beginning to speculate that the show will be doing a time jump and skip the entire part where Rick Sanchez escapes the Intergalactic Federation Prison. Instead, he is expected to travel to Hawaii and China, where he will begin to embrace the blossoming paternal feelings he has toward his family.
Spoilers for 'Rick and Morty' Season 3
The silence of "Rick and Morty" Season 3 cast and crew regarding its return has led to several reports and online forums regarding its return. One Reddit thread speculated that "Rick and Morty" Season 3 showrunners might be messing with their fans, and are planning on two big surprises for the season premiere.
First, "Rick and Morty" Season 3 will be doing a surprise premiere as an early Christmas gift to fans, and second, they will no longer be doing the part where Rick Sanchez escapes from prison. This is in line with previous pronouncements that the showrunners didn't want to spend too much time busting him out of jail.
'Rick and Morty' Season 3 goes traveling
Another important update on "Rick and Morty" Season 3 involves traveling around the world. As previously reported, Rick Sanchez and his family will be traveling to Hawaii, perhaps to do some soul-searching especially now that he's beginning to get attached to his family. Reports also speculated that they will also be going to China, albeit no official announcements yet on this particular storyline.
