Yes, it was announced today that [Adult Swim](http://www.adultswim.com/) has renewed sci-fi sitcom [_Rick and Morty_](http://www.adultswim.com/videos/rick-and-morty?sr=rick%5Fand%5Fmorty) for a third season. “It’s an honor to see _Rick and Morty_ join the exclusive club of shows with over nineteen episodes,” said co-creator and executive producer [Dan Harmon](https://twitter.com/danharmon) in a statement. “It’s time to demand that the network allow us to draw the characters going to Hawaii.” “I am blown away by the seemingly instant success of_Rick and Morty_. I look forward to continuing their adventures!” said Harmon’s fellow creator and executive producer [Justin Roiland](https://twitter.com/justinroiland), who voices the two lead characters and first first came up with the idea for the show almost a decade ago. The season 2 premiere of _Rick and Morty_, which was broadcast July 26, ranked No. 1 in its time period among all key adults and men. New episodes air Sundays at 11:30 p.m. ET. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/12/rick-and-morty-season-3) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3995115/rick-and-morty-season-3/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3995115/rick-and-morty-season-3/"},"headline":"Rick and Morty Is Returning for Season 3","datePublished":"2015-08-12T20:30:04.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T10:07:36.428Z","description":"Their odd adventures will continue for a third season","url":"https://time.com/3995115/rick-and-morty-season-3/","keywords":["Television","Sitcom"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltac26670c29c1caef/69885efdf887dc83c2e91d84/rick-and-morty.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Clark Collis / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltac26670c29c1caef/69885efdf887dc83c2e91d84/rick-and-morty.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"rick and morty","caption":"rick and morty","creditText":"Adult Swim","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3995115/rick-and-morty-season-3/","name":"Rick and Morty Is Returning for Season 3"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"5 Reasons TV's Top Shows Are So Addictive","description":"Here's a look at how our favorite TV shows—from \"Game of Thrones\" to \"Scandal\" and \"Breaking Bad\"—keep us coming back for more.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/2RqNgPrk/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-01-16T20:47:22.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/2RqNgPrk.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3995115/rick-and-morty-season-3/","duration":"PT2M16S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3995115/rick-and-morty-season-3/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
