Rick shares the release date for Season 2 with Morty, but doesn't tell you. Williams Street

Finally Cartoon Network has set the release date for the premiere of Rick and Morty Season 2. No, you can’t know it. Still, after it came out that Rick and Morty Season 2 release date has been locked down the Rick and Morty Twitter account offered the following update:

SEASON TWO UPDATE: Still coming out this summer.
- Rick and Morty (@RickandMorty) April 26, 2015

It all began when @PortableAndre tweeted at the Rick and Morty co-creators, Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon.

@danharmon @JustinRoiland please sober up from the power you're drunk on and give us a Rick & Morty Season 2 release date
- Andre Radojcich (@portableandre) April 26, 2015

Surprisingly, Justin Roiland, who originated the Rick and Morty characters in a series of profane short films for the Channel 101 festival, responded to the challenge.

@danharmon @portableandre the powers the be are asking refrain from announcing the date

Yes, it seems that Adult Swim knows exactly what the Rick and Morty Season 2 release date will be.

In a strange twist, while Rick and Morty co-creator may know the release date for Season 2, co-creator Dan Harmon seems to be in the dark.

@JustinRoiland @portableandre he just admitted he knows it though, am I right

@matthewRvincent @JustinRoiland I have denied myself the date, like Gandalf refusing to touch the ring as he puts it in the envelope

So there you have it. Rick and Morty Season 2 will be out this summer. Enough of Rick and Morty Season 2 is complete that they have a confirmed release date. Too bad we don’t get to know it.

Another week. Another post about season 2 coming out THIS SUMMER!

While we wait for Cartoon Network to finally tell us when Rick and Morty Season 2 will premiere, you can catch most of the first season of Rick and Morty on the Adult Swim website. Rick and Morty was also a key component in a new deal between Hulu and Cartoon Network, so we’ll also be able to watch Rick and Morty Season 1 on Hulu beginning May 1.
