This news is coming directly from an original and legitimate source: Justin Roiland has specifically denied that "Rick and Morty" Season 3 will be premiering on January 9 (Monday). To remind the readers, Justin Roiland is the co-creator of the show, as well as a voice actor for the series. 

It was earlier presumed that "Rick and Morty" season 3 would go on air in January 2017. The IMDB page for the show had marked January 9 as the premiere date for "Rick and Morty" season 3. However, these claims were refuted by Roiland, who voices the main protagonists, Rick and Morty. He clarified the news on Twitter.

What is "Rick and Morty" all about? It is an adult swim series that comprises Rick Sanchez, a science genius who is also an alcoholic. It also stars his grandson, Morty, who is always up for adventurous and dangerous tasks.

In a recent tweet, Roiland said, "As far as I know (and I would know) season three does not air Jan 9th." In the same tweet, Roiland made an interesting pun and tweeted, "Go ahead and [Jodi] Arias me." Roiland made a nice little reference to Jodi Arias who was convicted of the murder of her boyfriend and was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2013 for his death.

After the premiere date rumors were refuted, IMDB took down the January 09 listing. Many fans have been eagerly waiting for the third season of hit and popular series "Rick and Morty." They expected it to resume in December 2016 but needless to say, that did not happen.The IMDB January listing gave the dedicated fans a lot of (false) hope, but that turned out to be a rumor as well.

However, Roiland wasted no time in dismissing such wrong listings. No official announcements were made by the producers or creators of the show. However, even in the absence of such announcement, a trailer was allegedly revealed just before the New Year's eve. This trailer teases several plot possibilities which could transpire on the show.

The trailer hints that maybe Morty will try hard to become a close friend of Jessica, especially after she stopped dating Brad. Is he obsessed with Jessica? Certain speculations also suggest the same. The fans of "Rick and Morty" will hopefully get their wishes fulfilled by the upcoming release of the third season of the show.
