The Emmy-winning animated series “Rick and Morty” has officially returned for its eighth season, which started airing on Adult Swim on May 25. Fans of this wildly popular show, centered around the zany adventures of a mad scientist and his grandson, can look forward to new episodes being released weekly until July 27. As the series gains global traction, it will also be available in over 170 countries.
For viewers in the U.S. looking to catch the latest season, they should note that the episodes won’t be accessible on streaming platforms like HBO Max until September 1, after the season concludes. While “Rick and Morty” fans eagerly await its arrival on HBO Max, the past seven seasons are currently available for binge-watching on the platform.
To watch “Rick and Morty” Season 8 without traditional cable, viewers have several options. Adult Swim can be accessed through various streaming services such as Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and DirecTV. Hulu offers a free three-day trial for new subscribers, and the platform includes an expansive library of shows beyond just “Rick and Morty.”
For those considering international viewing experiences, a VPN can be a valuable tool. By using a VPN, fans can access the new season as it premieres in other countries, such as the U.K. or Australia. Each of these regions has its own release schedule, with the U.K. seeing episodes on June 1 and Australia premiering episodes on HBO Max a day earlier.
The anticipation around “Rick and Morty” persists as the show continues to challenge the boundaries of animated storytelling. As the season unfolds, viewers can expect the same irreverent humor and imaginative exploration the series is known for. This adds to the excitement surrounding the series and highlights its ongoing popularity across different viewing platforms.
