With previous speculations pointing to a December "Rick and Morty" Season 3 release date, fans of Adult Swim's animated series must be thrilled waiting for the show's third season to air any day now. But is it really going to happen before 2016 ends?
What Happened To The Rumored December 'Rick And Morty' Season 3 Release Date?
Previously, GamenGuide reported that there were those who are expecting for the "Rick and Morty" Season 3 release date to happen by December 2016. The rather optimistic expectation was based on reports that writers of the show already announced last September that they were already done writing all episodes for the entire season.
But now that it is already December, Adult Swim as well as the official social media accounts for the show still remain ominously silent on the "Rick and Morty" Season 3 air date. In fact, not even a single trailer was aired, which should have been up and running by now to drum up interest if a December launch us indeed part of the plan. Does this mean that the expectations of a December premiere date were just too optimistic?
March 2017 'Rick And Morty' Season 3 Release Date More Realistic?
That seems to be the case. Show creator Dan Harmon previously made an announcement early this year that the "Rick and Morty" Season 3 release date would happening within 2016, reports Citizen Oracle. But then he had since withdrawn the said announcement in a Reddit post, saying that he has no authority to reveal such info.
It now looks like previous predictions of a March 2017 "Rick and Morty" Season 3 premiere date could be the more realistic expectation. Previously, Mr Poopy Butthole made the prediction for the March 2017 release, a prediction that seem to be backed by others.
For instance, the March timeline seems to be corroborated by a Reddit user popDavid, who claim to have inside knowledge on the production status of the third season being an assistant . According to popDavid, only nine of the fourteen episodes have been written while the animation team has only finished a single episode. Of course, that means that chances of a December 2016 "Rick and Morty" Season 3 release date are rather slim though not totally impossible, reports CSN.
It may be too early to say that "Rick and Morty" Season 3 premiere will not be happening this December 2016. After all, there are still four weeks to go before the month is over, the highly anticipated release just might happen anytime. Stay tuned to GamenGuide for the latest update on the animated series.
