Friday March 31, 2017: The wait for "Rick and Morty's" third season has been an agonizing one for many fans. So are the folks behind the show planning something special for when the next episode is aired?
That would seem to be the case, at least according to the show's IMDb listing.
Specifically, the listing for the first episode of the third season indicates that it will run for about one hour, which is worth noting since these animated offerings typically go for about 22 minutes at a time.
Now, there seems to be some sense in making the first episode of Season 3 one hour-long, especially given how eagerly anticipated it is.
Turning the first episode into an hour-long affair could generate more interest in the upcoming season and also bring back fans who may not be thinking about the show as much during this extended break.
Going big with the first episode of Season 3 could also provide the people behind the show with enough time to provide answers for many of the lingering questions left at the conclusion of Season 2.
As iDigitalTimes noted, that hour-long runtime could even allow showrunners to go deep into what has happened to Rick and even how the universe around him has changed.
Season 3 of "Rick and Morty" may also be able to build up even more storylines once it officially debuts, especially since it is expected to feature more of that coveted content fans have been seeking in comparison to previous seasons.
According to the show's Wiki, Season 3 is expected to last for 14 episodes. Notably, the first season of the show was made up of 11 episodes, while the second season ran for 10.
Unfortunately, there is still no specific premiere date known just yet for Season 3 of "Rick and Morty," but more details about when that eagerly anticipated event could happen should be shared soon.
