As if we didn’t have enough reasons to be pissed at 2016, this calendar year will come to an end without the promised third season of Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty. We still expect season three to drop some time in early 2017, but now we’ve finally received a new glimpse of the insanity to come.
Via io9, a new preview of Rick and Morty‘s third season debuted on a live stream broadcast by Adult Swim, which went largely unnoticed at the time. The animatic footage is far from finished, but it does feature Justin Roiland‘s voice as the title duo in a sequence that apparently takes place after last season’s cliffhanger was resolved. There are no hints as to how Rick escaped his intergalactic imprisonment or how the people of Earth will get out from under the control of the Galactic Federation. However, we do see Rick hilariously interfere with Morty’s attempt to speak with a newly single Jessica, the girl that Morty was so desperately infatuated with that he inadvertently helped Rick destroy humanity in their original reality. So, perhaps this interruption was for the best.
But that was just a prelude to the really amazing part of the preview, which follows Rick and Morty on some kind of space-race insemination (we think) before landing on a Star Wars riff. Even though things go smoothly, Morty is driven to reevaluate his life of mad science adventures. And for once, even Rick is shaken by their latest caper.
