Fans who have been waiting for "Rick and Morty" Season 3 might finally be in for some good news. The beloved animated series could be set to premiere in January 2017. In addition to that, the show will be extended to 14 awesome new episodes.

So when exactly is the "Rick and Morty" Season 3 air date? Although creator Dan Harmon teased that the Adult Swim series will be back by the end of the year, fans will need to wait a little longer for the actual premiere.

'Rick And Morty' Season 3 Premieres In January 2017?

People were initially expecting to see the return of "Rick and Morty" sometime in spring next year. However, creator Dan Harmon had excellent news when he revealed at the Magic City Comic Con that "Rick and Morty" Season 3 could premiere by December. After all, most of the episodes are almost done and it would be a great way to end the year on Adult Swim.

Unfortunately, it looks like Dan Harmon may have been a little optimistic about the show's debut. Still, there are speculations that Adult Swim will announce the "Rick and Morty" Season 3 air date before the end of the year and the lengthier series could premiere by January 2017.

'Rick And Morty' Season 3 Set For 14 New Episodes

It looks like everyone's patience will be rewarded greatly. According to Den of Geek, Dan Harmon also confirmed that "Rick and Morty" Season 3 will feature 14 new episodes. Some fans even believe that Adult Swim might order more episodes when the series finally airs in early 2017.

But what to expect in the 14 episodes of "Rick and Morty" Season 3? The series is set to move forward after the cliffhanger in the previous season finale. This could mean that Rick and Morty will be off to new adventures when the show returns on Adult Swim next year.
