Indeed, it turned out to be genuine and the first episode ofRick and Mortyseason 3 is out in the world. Plus, they finally gave a semi-firm confirmation about when the rest of season 3 will air.
In a promo that aired during last night’sRick and Morty season 3 premieremarathon, it was revealed that the new season will debut onAdult Swimthis summer.

We won’t spoil anything, just in case you didn’t see the episode yet, but it is hard to imagine fans will be anything but happy. Not just because this is the first new episode ofRick and Mortysince 2015, but because it was a damn good episode. A lot of questions were answered, what may go down as one of the best jokes in the history of the series occurred and, as usual, it was brilliant. Yes, there are laughs to be had, but it is also pretty dark. Not thatRick and Mortyis a stranger to dark moments, but this episode probably takes the cake. But theepisodedefinitely seemed to be worth the wait. Now we just have to wait a couple more months for the rest of season 3.
