A lot of fans are awaiting the release of the upcoming new season of the "Rick and Morty" show. Unfortunately, there is still no official word about it right now, but it seems that some reports are saying that the new season will start off sometime early December.

According to Ecumenical News, the rumors from the reports are stating that since the first season of the show started on December 2, Adult Swim will follow the same pattern and launch the third season of "Rick and Morty" around the same time this year. 

Still, it is worth noting that the rumors haven't been addressed by the network or the show's creators. The closest thing fans have for an answer when it comes to the release date of the "Rick and Morty" season 3 is from the series' co-creator, Dan Harmon. He said that the series will be looking forward to a late 2016 release date earlier this year.

Regardless, there are some speculations that the new season will give some answers to the questions posed by the previous season of "Rick and Morty." One of the things fans are curious about is the fate of Krombopulos Michael, who has supposedly died before. As such, it is believed that he will return in the new season in order to get Rick out of the maximum security prison where he is locked up. 

Meanwhile, Game N Guide reports that the new season of "Rick and Morty" will be far-reaching, since the loss of Mrs. Sanchez has become one of the best puzzles for the show. With this, she is expected to show up in one of the show's episodes in the upcoming season.

As of now, the only thing confirmed about the show is that it will be shown in December 2016 and will have a total of 14 episodes.
