“Rick and Morty” is gearing up for its highly anticipated return to Adult Swim. While no premiere date has been announced, there are indications that the show will surprise fans this month as the animated series is said to premiere season 3 during the most festive time of the year.
As the network and co-creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland are keeping mum about "Rick and Morty" season 3 premiere date, fans have begun to interpret photos and GIFS posted on social media to determine the exact date of the show’s return. According to iDigital Times, Reddit user pixelpushing claims to have cracked the clue on when the new season will begin.
The Redditor claims that based on the GIFS posted on Adult Swim and the “Rick and Morty” Facebook page, it’s likely that a premiere date will be announced on Dec. 18. However, the date came and went, yet no announcement has been made about the series’ return.
Meanwhile, there are theories that "Rick and Morty" season 3 could premiere on Christmas Day. The premiere date speculation is based on a screengrab from the episode “Anatomy Park,” which was posted on the show’s Instagram account last week.
There’s also the fact that the past seasons’ episodes aired on Sundays, which makes the show’s return possible in the next few days. This year, the Dec. 25 holiday will fall on a Sunday, and it’s likely that fans will get a new episode of “Rick and Morty” as a special gift.
Adding fuel to the premiere date rumors is the fact that Roiland took to Twitter to retweet a photo of the “Rick and Morty” crew. The picture, which was originally posted by a production supervisor on the show, was captioned, “@RickandMorty crew photo. Get ready world! Brand spankin’ new Rick and Morty cominatcha! @justinroiland.”
