Adult Swim has played some pretty good April Fools’ jokes over the last few years, but yesterday they played the ultimate prank when they preyed on everyone’s skepticism and posted the third season premiere of Rick and Morty.
After a year of stringing fans along, Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland’s grandpa/grandson team made a long-awaited return last night as Adult Swim suspended regular programming and aired the first episode of the new season on a loop.

โจFans will have to wait for the rest of the episodes to premiere this summer, but the new episode should tide fans over until then.
Adult Swim also treated the viewers to some brand new promos that played with some of the greatest moments and characters in the show’s short history, with features on Mr. Meeseeks and Gear Head, as well as puppeteering clips starring Beth, Summer, Rick, Morty, and fan-favorite Mr. Poopy Butthole.

Rick and Morty is Adult Swim’s most scientifically accurate animated comedy. Created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, it catalogues the bizarre misadventures of a bored scientific genius/drunkard and his socially awkward grandson, Morty. Their exploits tend to have unintended consequences for Morty’s dysfunctional family, especially his unfailingly mediocre father, Jerry. Watch Rick and Morty battle everything from interdimensional customs agents to Cronenberg monsters.
