'Rick and Morty' season 3 news: Morty attempts to talk to Jessica in new clip

(Facebook/RickandMorty)A new 'Rick and Morty' clip has been released.

In order to appease the legion of fans anxiously waiting for the third season of "Rick and Morty," a short clip featuring the titular duo on another adventure was released. The animation is still in its storyboard stage, but fans are satisfied nonetheless.

The video starts out with Morty in school. While at his locker, he overhears Jessica talking to her friends about having broken up with her boyfriend. They question her on who her next boyfriend is going to be, but Jessica seems to want to stay single for a while unless "someone special comes along."

Morty sums up the courage to walk up to her as the girls' conversation turns vulgar. However, just as Morty is about to say something, Rick arrives and tells the girls to "f*** off." Rick takes his grandson on another crazy adventure — one that involves flying a ship in outer space while fleeing and fighting attackers. The scene that follows is of Rick and Morty getting honored while the "Star Wars" theme song plays in the background. While everything looks fine and dandy at first, the two of them immediately break down when they find themselves alone.

Series creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland recently spoke to Den of Geek to voice out their gratitude for the success of the show. 

"It's an honor to see 'Rick and Morty' join the exclusive club of shows over nineteen episodes," joked Harmon.

"I am blown away by the seemingly instant success of 'Rick and Morty,'" Roiland chimed, adding, "I look forward to continuing their adventures!"

As for its release date, "Rick and Morty" season 3 was initially speculated to arrive in late 2016, with some fans even theorizing that it could have a surprise premiere in December. No specific date was ever announced, and that continues to be the case up until now. However, an early 2017 release is rumored.
