'Rick and Morty' Season 3 Air Date, Spoilers, News & Update: First Episode Already Done; December 2016 Premiere Confirmed? More Plot Details

Adult Swim had earlier pledged to release "Rick and Morty" Season 3 before the year ended -- albeit showrunners Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland themselves weren't 100 percent optimistic. This quickly became clear as the year drew to a close without official updates or announcements regarding the beloved cartoon's upcoming third installment. This then led fans to ask: Will "Rick and Morty" Season 3 make the end of 2016?

Good news first

It may seem that "Rick and Morty" Season 3 is on its way to completion A series of tweets from writer and producer Dan Guterman teased that he's "done" with the animated series' third season. It also seems as if the first episode of "Rick and Morty" Season 3, as Guterman tweeted that cowriter Erica Rosbe had already seen it and "wouldn't shut up about it."

But, as iDigitalTimes noted, the "Rick and Morty" Season 3 process isn't finished even if the scripts and the animations are already done. It was earlier reported that while the writing process neared completion, the show still had to get the green light from its Canadian animation studio. Still, fans hope that Adult Swim can fast-track the series to make it just in time for the holidays.

And, it may just be the case. Inverse reported that "Rick and Morty" Season 3 will definitely return by the end of 2016.

What to expect from 'Rick and Morty' Season 3

Given all these, what can fans expect from "Rick and Morty" Season 3? The show will be picking up from Rick's time in the Galactic Federation Prison and how he will break out from there. New spoilers and leaks for the show also revealed that the show might feature the multiverse theory, which means fans will be following Rick and Morty in one universe and another in a different universe halfway through "Rick and Morty" Season 3.
