So many speculations hound the upcoming third season of Adult Swim's well-loved animated series, "Rick and Morty." So far, the latest rumor is that instead of a July premiere, it will be released in August of this year.

A Twitter post from the show's official account caused a string of confusion among fans when it said the wait for "Rick and Morty" season 3 would be 30 minutes longer. For fans, the tweet meant three things – episodes will be 30 minutes longer, there would be a 30-day delay for the premiere episode of season 3, or the episodes for season 3 will be longer than past episodes but will come out 30 days later than the original air date of July 26.

Either way, what is certain is that recording for the show has begun, which means a July release would really be out of the question as the animation and special effects would still need to be integrated into each episode.

Voting for "Rick and Morty's" nomination could be cast via social media sites, including Twitter. The final and official list of nominated programs will be announced on July 14.

Finally, there are speculations that "Rick and Morty" season 3 would finally shed light on the identity or existence of Mr. Poopy Butthole. Some fans say he's a parasite while others support the contrary. A "closure" could hopefully happen in the upcoming season.
