On August 12, 2015, shortly after a successful second - season premiere, Adult Swim renewed the series for a third season. Talking about the show 's renewal, co-creator Dan Harmon said that it is `` an honor to see Rick and Morty join the exclusive club of shows with over nineteen episodes. '' Female writers were added to the staff for the first time, and -- counting out the co-creators of the show, Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon -- the writing room was gender - balanced. Sarah Carbiener, one of the new female writers, said that she managed to learn many things from her experience as a member of the writing team. She explained that a story that for other shows would have been an entire episode, for Rick and Morty it will be only its first few minutes. Therefore, the team had to write a large amount of story in a short time. Dan Harmon, talking about the writing process, said that the episodes were written collectively by the staff, and that the name of the writer that appears in the credits of an episode is usually that of the person who has been assigned to prepare the episode 's outline. Writing began on November 2, 2015, and the first episode was recorded on February 18, 2016. In July 2016, already behind on schedule, the production team admitted that the success of the series had increased pressure to meet the expectations of the viewers. The creative freedom provided by Adult Swim entailed taking responsibility for product quality, and as the bar had risen higher, work had become harder, improvements were constantly being sought, and this often resulted in delays. Writing was finally completed in November 2016. In February 2017, Dan Harmon, answering questions regarding the delayed release, announced on his podcast, Harmontown, that the season was in the animation process, after a long period of writing. When production of the season had been completed, Harmon wrote a series of posts on Twitter, explaining that the writing process took that long to complete, because of his perfectionism. As a result, the third season of Rick and Morty consisted of only ten episodes instead of fourteen, as was initially intended. Home media and streaming services Following the conclusion of the show 's third season, Adult Swim made a livestream marathon of Rick and Morty available to watch on its official website in select regions, hoping to dissuade viewers from watching other illegal livestreams. The season was released on DVD and Blu - ray on May 15, 2018, with special features including exclusive commentary and animatics for every episode, `` inside the episode '', the origins of Rick and Morty, and an exclusive `` inside the recording booth '' session. Uncensored versions of the season are available to purchase on various digital platforms, including iTunes, Amazon and Microsoft Store. The digital release also includes commentaries on every episode, as well as seven more short videos featuring co-creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland. The season is available to watch on Netflix in a number of countries outside the United States, including the United Kingdom. Reception Critical response The season currently holds a 97 % approval rating from the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes based on 16 reviews, and a rating average of 8.76 out of 10. Jesse Schedeen of IGN described the third season of the show as darker and more unpredictable than the first two, and praised its high - concept storytelling and character development. Schedeen gave the season an 8.8 out of 10 rating, saying that it `` did n't quite reach the heights of Season 2, but it is the series ' most consistently entertaining and ambitious season yet ''. Holding a different view, Mike Cosimano of Comics Gaming Magazine disagreed with other critics about the third season being dark ; he said that it used `` cheap gut punches to elicit that very reaction ''. Cosimano also said that too many episodes of the season were weak and the character development is `` front - loaded to the first half of the show, '' resulting in an uneven season. He considered the season to be `` a disappointment, '' rating it 6.5 out of 10. On a thematic level, Kayla Cobb of Decider focused on the dynamism displayed by Beth and Summer, as the characters broke the stereotypical conventions of the first two seasons. Cobb stated that `` Season 3 is the first time Rick and Morty really handed over the reigns ( sic ) to its leading ladies, and it was a horrifying delight. '' Julia Alexander of Polygon highlighted the philosophical conflict between nihilist realism and life in ignorant bliss as the season 's main theme, and noted that `` after an introspective season built on the importance of self - realization and reflection, Rick and Morty 's third year ended on a total reset, '' with Beth and the kids reuniting with Jerry in the season - finale, as they seek comfort through escapism and ignore the realities of their lives. Once again, Rick becomes the outsider figure in the Smith household, with Beth noting that from this point `` things will be like season one '' again. Zack Handlen of The A.V. Club, however, appeared skeptical about the character 's statement, noting that `` the problem with going as far as season three went is that bridges stay burned ''. Handlen considered Jerry 's return to be an anticlimax from a character standpoint and `` a necessary corrective to an arc that was in danger of going off the rails completely ''. Ratings Rick and Morty completed its third season with overall viewership numbers increased by 81 % over the previous season, and delivered the highest ratings in Adult Swim 's history. Rick and Morty was the most popular television comedy within the 18 -- 24 and 18 -- 34 age ranges in the United States, based on `` Live + 7 '' ratings data spanning from December 2016 to September 2017. This rating system tracks live viewership plus streaming and on - demand viewing over an initial week - long period, and provides a more accurate picture of delayed viewing as compared to `` Live + Same Day '' ratings. Considering that episodes of the third season originally aired at 11 : 30 p.m. on Sundays, it is very likely that people would have watched them on - demand the next day or several days later. Christina Miller, the president of Adult Swim, told Fortune that Rick and Morty `` goes beyond just appealing to millennials, '' as numbers suggest that people of all ages are watching the show. The second episode of the season, which aired nearly four months after the unannounced premiere, was the season 's most - watched episode with 2.86 million viewers, and the second - best on cable for the day it aired in adults 18 -- 49, behind the weekly episode of Game of Thrones. The season finale was watched by 2.6 million live plus same day viewers and it was the most - watched telecast across all age groups.

Cultural influence The Szechuan sauce reference in the season premiere brought huge online attention for McDonald 's discontinued promotional product. Internet memes spread rapidly on Reddit and Twitter, more than 40,000 people signed a petition at Change.org, asking for the return of the sauce, while an eBay auction resulted in a 20 - year - old packet of this teriyaki sauce being sold for $14,700. On October 7, 2017, McDonald 's served limited quantities of Szechuan sauce, with the company calling it `` the year 's most talked - about dipping sauce.
