‘Rick and Morty’ season 3 episode 1: April Fool’s prank turned out to be the real episode of the new season

“Rick and Morty” season 3 episode 1 was released as an April Fool’s prank. However, the actual show will not be released yet.

Many fans of the show believed that they were being fooled when the third season’s first episode was released on April Fool’s Day. However, while many fans did not watch it as they believed it was not real, there were others who did watch it. The thread on Reddit had over seven thousand reactions.

This April Fool’s prank was definitely different from the other pranks set out for the day. There were a lot of people who actually did not go and play the video as they believed it was fake. It is true as there are a number of videos online saying that the video is the third season’s first episode. Sometimes, the videos posted are just the replay of the other episodes of the show. This time around though, fans rejoice as they get to see what happens in the first episode of the upcoming season.
