Everyone shout wubba lubba dub dub! But not in any joyful Rick way, more in the way it’s intended in Birdperson’s native tongue: “I am in great pain, please help me.” Because if you were looking forward to Season 2 of “Rick and Morty” your wait just got a bit longer.

'Rick and Morty' Premiere Date News

We now have a tentative release date, thanks to a post on the show’s official Facebook: “Summer, 2015. Tell every single person that you know.”

In light of the previous season’s December 2, 2013 premiere, and the Comic Con panel that suggested that work on “Rick and Morty” Season 2 was proceeding apace, it’s disappointing that we won’t get any new episodes of “Rick and Morty” until midway through next year. Isn’t 2015 like way deep into the future that science fiction shows are supposed to be set in? Won’t the real world be intruding on the show’s material? C’mon guys! Are you really going to let “Terminator: Genisys” beat you to theaters? What if they steal all the alternate world jokes?

Cartoon Network and Adult Swim are doing their best to keep the “Rick and Morty” spark alive, with all of season 1 available to watch on the Adult Swim website. The show has been a ratings hit, and the network is hoping that they may have the first Adult Swim property since “Robot Chicken” to cross over into mainstream awareness.

It’s unfortunate then that “Rick and Morty” seems to be angling for the same kind of on-again, off-again production schedule that we’ve become used to seeing from so many independent and creator-driven shows.

For now all we have of Season 2 is a twinkle in Dan Harmon’s eye and the clip played at Comic Con, which seems to indicate that the show is still in fine form. Hopefully we can all find productive uses for our time until next summer.
