Season 3 of the American adult animated TV series “Rick and Morty” is still months away from premiering on Adult Swim but it is sure to get a major promotional boost next month.
Apparently, the “Rick and Morty” Season 2 Blu-Ray and DVD sets shall be officially released on June 7, giving fans of the popular TV series an addition to their collection. More importantly, it shall also heighten their excitement for the upcoming Season 3, which, based on recent reports is already in production since February this year.
The box sets shall contain all the 10 episodes of “Rick and Morty” Season 2 and comes with hours of bonus features including animatics or animated storyboards for each episode, deleted animatic scenes, and an alternate version of Season 2 premiere episode, details Enstarz.
The collectors’ item also includes audio commentaries for each of the 10 episodes and shall also have guest commentary tracks.
There is also a video of the “Rick and Morty” Season 2 premiere party, with a live drawing from co-showrunner Justin Roiland.
Although its official release date is still on June 7, fans of “Rick and Morty” can actually pre-order the Blu-Ray and DVD sets on Amazon.
Season 2 cliffhanger
Fans of the adult animated TV series would recall that the Season 2 finale episode showed Rick turning himself in for his many crimes against the universe even as Earth was already being taken over by the Galactic Federation.
Rick has surrendered himself to the Federation to spare his family a vigilante life in the episode entitled “The Wedding Squanchers.”
Co-creator Dan Harmon said that they do not want to do a third season that simply spends a whole bunch of episodes dealing with a situation that they have created at the end of the second season.
He explained that it is a non-spoiler way of saying that things should be okay pretty quickly for “Rick and Morty” Season 3.
Keeping the plotlines under wraps
Reports have it that Roiland and Harmon have been doing a great job in keeping plot arcs tightly under wraps for each episode of Season 3 of “Rick and Morty,” notes the Vine Report.
However, there are speculations that have been going around saying that one of the possible plotlines for Season 3 includes the lead characters, Rick and Morty, weaving through time. There are also reports saying that Rick will create some chaos inside the Galactic Federation jail where he will attempt to break free.
The rumors about the time traveling plotline are reportedly based on the fact that “Rick and Morty” is actually a crude and unorthodox spin-off of “Back to the Future” movie series starring Michael J. Fox.
According to the same rumors, Rick and Morty shall be going on a time-traveling escapade. However, there are also speculations that suggest that it will not be time traveling per se, but a dimension-breaking adventure for the duo.
The report is based on previous speculation citing that the Rick from another universe is actually the one inside the Galactic Federation penitentiary while the original one from the C-137 is still free.
However, all these remain as speculations and it is likely that Roiland and Harmon will just allow fans to speculate further as much as they want because the showrunners will not be giving anything at all about Season 3 of “Rick and Morty.”
Meanwhile, Mr. Poopybutthole is one of the fan-favorite characters on the show and he is also one of the most believable, or so to speak.
During the Season 2 finale of “Rick and Morty,” Mr. Poopybutthole said that the next season of the TV series will air after a year and a half.
