Season 3 of the American adult animated TV series “Rick and Morty” is bound to underpromise but overdeliver with its upcoming episodes, says co-creator Justin Roiland.
Roiland, who also lends his voice to both Rick and Morty in the TV series, made the statement when he was recently asked about the status of the hit show on Adult Swim.
He said that he and co-creator Dan Harmon and the production team are well into the thick of production of “Rick and Morty” Season 3.
While he did not disclose any spoiler for the upcoming season, Roiland thinks that the episodes that they have come up in the hopper for the show’s third season are some of the best that they have ever done, cites Game & Guide.
After the Season 2 finale of “Rick and Morty” last year, the speculations were saying that the TV series would return to Adult Swim by March 2017, based on the hint of Mr. Poopybutthole that the show would return after a year and a half.
Since production for the TV series began in February this year, the subsequent rumors came out saying that “Rick and Morty” could come out ahead of its schedule and possibly before the end of 2016.
Now, the latest rumors are saying that it could actually come out in January 2017. However, all these remain as speculations pending the confirmation from Adult Swim or perhaps an announcement from either Roiland or Harmon or both.
An Evil and Good Morty
There is also an interesting rumor about the possible plotline of “Rick and Morty” Season 3 featuring an Evil Morty and a Good Morty.
Reports have it that the addition of an Evil Morty is a clear indication that several adventures and twists are coming for the forthcoming series.
There are also speculations that the ex-wife of Rick is also reportedly making a return to the show, which would surely add more drama to “Rick and Morty” Season 3.
Latest reports also have it that the second, third, and fourth episode of “Rick and Morty” Season 3” will be part of a three-part premiere episode.
Spoilers galore
With most of the episodes of “Rick and Morty” already completed and done with in the production phase, spoilers have started making the rounds online.
However, these could also be a misdirect as the show and its production team has been trying their best to keep everything under wraps in order to avoid what happened during Season 2 last year when the first two or three episodes of the TV series already leaked online even before they were aired on Adult Swim.
Accordingly, the second episode of “Rick and Morty” Season 3 shall feature Rick becoming the kingpin of the interdimensional prison. But Morty is said to be missing Rick and he would be employing Nancy and Aberdoff Lincler’s private investigators to help him find a person from Rick’s past, details The Bitbag.
The third episode alludes that a fake Rick and a real Morty shall go on vacation aboard an asteroid. The Evil Morty shall take the real Rick to the base of his operations which indicates that Rick is probably kidnapped.
The fourth episode, on the other hand, will see the reunion of the real Morty and the real Rick. The two protagonists of the TV series shall save the rest of the Smiths from the Intergalactic Federation even as the Evil Morty resumes his role as a villain in the show.
Meanwhile, the official “Rick and Morty” Twitter account made a recent post that ultimately sow confusion among fans of the TV series on Adult Swim.
The tweet from the show’s Twitter account recently said that the wait for Season 3 is now 30 minutes longer.
Some fans took it to mean that the episodes of Season 3 of “Rick and Morty” shall be 30 minutes longer while some others assumed that the airing of the TV show will be delayed.
Although the previous reports have it that Season 3 will likely return to the Adult Swim later in 2016, there have been rumors lately saying that “Rick and Morty” could actually air as early as July 26.
