Even episodes leaking in advance couldn’t stop the hurtling capital ship that was the Rick and Morty Season 2 premiere. In the least unexpected move in recent TV history Adult Swim has officially renewed Rick and Morty for Season 3.
Rick and Morty Renewed for Season 3
The July 26 premiere of Rick and Morty Season 2 was No. 1 in its slot among all “key adults and men,” getting more than double the viewers of the Rick and Morty Season 1 premiere.
Rick and Morty Season 2 has so far topped Rick and Morty Season 1, debuting three episodes that each stand amongst the series’ best, while also tackling more serious material, including a shocking attempted suicide in Rick and Morty Season 2 Episode 3.
Created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, Rick and Morty and is about a scientist with a very expansive view of moral relativism who drags his grandson through “high concept sci-fi rigmarole,” often dragging the entire Sanchez family into galactic-level dangers. If you haven’t seen Rick and Morty think Futurama, except a heartless cyborg version with the additional RAM required for enhanced units of comedy and science-fiction.
The enthusiastic fanbase of Rick and Morty have been celebrating the Season 3 renewal:
Considerably more ambitious than Community fans, the Rick and Morty rallying cry calls for 100 years of episodes. But for 2015 the remaining episodes of Rick and Morty Season 2 will have to suffice.
