Last week, the show’s penultimate episode of the season pulled in just under 2.5 million total viewers (1.9 million of whom were between the ages of 18 and 49). The most-watched episode before this year was Season 2’s second offering, “Mortynight Run,” with 2.19 million total viewers.

When the series finally returned to cable, on July 30, 2.86 million people tuned in for the Sunday night premiere, according to Nielsen, making it the night’s second most-watched cable program, behind HBO’s ratings monster Game of Thrones (9.2 million).

(The show’s social media following is also very strong and active, with more than 2.8 million followers on Facebook, plus more than 1 million on Twitter and 1.6 million on Instagram.) The streams pulled in 3 million unique visitors, while a similar livestream hosted on Facebook got 8.7 million video views. First, the show briefly returned to TV in an April Fools Day stunt, when Adult Swim surprised fans by streaming the first episode of Season 3 online in a constant loop for four hours on April 1.

In the world of “Peak TV” and countless entertainment options, two years is a long time to stay excited and engaged with a TV show.Īnd, yet, instead of hurting the show, though, Rick and Morty returned from its long absence with a stronger viewership than ever. Indeed, Rick and Morty’s early fans exercised no small amount of patience over the nearly two-year period that lapsed between the end of the show’s second season and the current season’s official return over the summer.
