Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

After returning with season 3 episode 1, 'The Rickshank Rickdemption', and 2, 'Rickmancing the Stone', Rick and Morty airs its third episode on Sunday night,'Pickle Rick'.

It featured heavily in the season trailer, and we know it will open with Morty looking for Rick in the garage.

Flipping a lone pickle over with a screwdriver, it shouts at him: "I turned myself into a pickle, Morty! I'm Pickle Riiiiiiiiiiiiick!"

The synopsis for the episode is as follows:

'Pickle Rick is a version of Rick (C-137) first seen in the Season 3 teaser of Rick and Morty. His only functional body parts are his eyes and a mouth. This situation forces him to create gruesome means of transportation.'

Not only gruesome but violent, by the looks of it, with a giant Pickle Rick being seen fighting enormous rats.

It will be broadcast on Adult Swim and through its website at 11.30pm ET on Sunday 6 August, appearing on Netflix for viewers outside the US the following Sunday.

The episode was written by Jessica Gao, and will be followed by episode 4, 'Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender'.
