In any case, season 3 of “Rick and Morty” has the potential to be not only the most solid entry in the show itself so far, but also one of the best seasons in television recently. That’s a pretty bold statement, but the show has definitely demonstrated a lot of potential and its producers are seemingly just starting to realize it fully now.
Are we going to see many of the older minor characters returning for this season? There are many who would be great candidates to help Rick out, and also some who would probably enjoy the idea of getting him out of prison just so they can take revenge on him themselves.
It’s almost guaranteed that some of Rick’s old friends will have a part in his rescue, however that might happen, but there have been no hints about who they might be so far. We might also see some new appearances in the character line-up.
Rick and Morty have managed to build up quite the large crew of friends over the show’s first two seasons, so Morty definitely has some options available to him for asking for help. Whether he’s going to reach out or try to solve the problem on his own is hard to say, but it’s almost inevitable that he will try to get some of his old friends on board, which shouldn’t be hard once he tells them what has happened to Rick.
