RICK AND MORTY Season 3 Coming To TV This Year

Co-creator Dan Harmon was at Magic City Comic Con earlier this year and dropped some really schwifty news: instead of returning in 2017, Rick and Morty will be back on TV this year.

No actual date has been set yet, but Harmon told the crowd:

“I think Season 3 is—we’re targeting around the end of this year,” Harmon said, to cheers from the audience. “You guys do realize we’re at the beginning of this year?”

Regardless of when it comes back this year, anytime will be earlier than when Mr. Poopybutthole said it would be, and I'll take that as a win. It would have been a shame to go all year without a new season, especially with all the hype and amazing reception the show has received. 

Additionally, Rick and Morty will be back with 14 episodes as opposed to the first two seasons of 11 and 10 episodes. This is GREAT news. Perhaps the extra episodes will be used to continue the story that the season 2 finale left us hanging on. Or it might just be more weirdly intelligent fart jokes. Who knows? Who cares? Any and all of the above is fine with me.
