The long wait is over as "Rick and Morty" has a thrilling treat to their fans. With a live stream event happening later this week, the supporters of the animated show could expect juicy updates after the show's sizeable hiatus.
After an unannounced premiere of the hit series' third season on April Fool's Day, a mysterious live stream was announced to take place on Thursday, June 29, at 9 p.m. EDT. Information about the event are limited, but it looks like the strong followers of Adult Swim's phenomenal sitcom are in for more surprises.
The official Twitter account of "Rick and Morty" posted an invitation to the event, teasing that it will be a "spontaneous evening." It could mean live readings of the scripts and, interestingly, a release of the second episode of the current season.
Prior to the out of the blue announcement of the live stream activity, series creator Dan Harmon took to Twitter to share his thoughts about the delayed release of the third season. He apologized for the late airing of the new episodes and explained that it is taking them long to write the scripts because they want to make the storylines more entertaining and want to produce a fantastic season 3.
The long break that the show took sparked rumors suggesting that the series might have gotten cancelled due to the alleged fight between Harmon and co-creator Justin Roiland. Harmon has dismissed such rumors, clarifying via Twitter that he and Roiland never engaged in a fight. "I tell you, as a self-destructively honest guy, Justin and I have literally never fought. Season 3 isn't late because of "fighting," he said.
"Rick and Morty" season 3 consists of 14 episodes with the pilot episode aired on April 1. The exact release dates of the remaining episodes have yet to be announced.
