After months and months of teasing on the internet, Season 3 of Rick and Morty finally has a premiere date.

The new season will debut on Sunday, July 30. The news was announced on Thursday evening, during a livestream hosted by Adult Swim.

The first episode of Season 3 was already streamed online for April Fools' Day.

Co-creator Justin Roiland said there will be 10 episodes in Season 3, and also dropped hints of another season after that -- although he stopped short of confirming it.

"Not to say there's a Season 4. There's a PR person freaking out right now," Roiland said.

A trailer for the newest season, somewhat appropriately soundtracked by Dizzee Rascal and Armand Van Helden's "Bonkers," was also released on Thursday.

As to why the third season took so long to come out, the explanation is simple, co-creator Dan Harmon explained on Twitter Monday.

He didn't want it to be worse than the first two seasons.

Guess you can't rush a good thing.
