How to watch 'Rick and Morty' season 8 premiere: Stream online across the world
"Anything is possible!" screams Cartoon Network's Adult Swim channel. "Look out for adventures with Summer, Jerry, Beth, and the other Beth. Maybe Butter Bot will get a new task? Whatever happens, you can't keep Rick and Morty down for long. People have tried!"
Here's how to watch "Rick and Morty" season 8 online from anywhere with a VPN.
► Date: "Rick and Morty" season 8 premieres on Sunday, May 25 at 11:00 p.m. on Adult Swim. All episodes will then be available to stream on Max the following day. • U.S. — Adult Swim via Sling/Max• CAN — Adult Swim/StackTV• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN risk-free
You know what to expect - and that is not to expect anything that you might know to expect but this time the whole feel is looser than ever. Each episode is self-contained rather than belonging to there main arc (apart from episode 3, "The Rick, The Mort & The Ugly") - and that works in isolation.
Some reviews have said the season is less manic than usual and others have said it is less edgy but they all agree that it is still up to the very high bar it has set itself in terms of humor and intelligence (in particular with an Easter adventure to remember). As the channel puts it, "Life has meaning again!"
Ready for a brand new adventure ? Read on to find out how to watch "Rick and Morty" season 8 online and from anywhere.
Episodes will premiere every Sunday beginning May 25 at 11:00 P.M. ET on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, which can be accessed with one of the best TV antennas, a cable TV package or a live TV streaming platform like Fubo, Sling TV, Hulu with Live TV or YouTube TV. Japanese language episodes will follow at the same time every Saturday on the channel.
Alternatively, episodes of "Rick and Morty" season 8 can be streamed the day after transmission on Adult Swim via the Max platform, starting Monday, May 26.
Max prices start at $9.99/month if you don't mind ads, going to $16.99/month for ad-free and $20.99/month if you want the option to watch content on up to four devices and in 4K. For even better value, you can pay for a whole year upfront and effectively get 12 months at a discounted price on any of its tiers.
Traveling outside the States? You'll need to use a VPN to unblock Max when abroad.

In Canada, episodes will air on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim on the same schedule as the U.S. and be available to stream the following day via the STACKTV add-on with Prime Video, which grants access to programming from Global Television, the Disney Channel, National Geographic, Showcase, W Network, and Adult Swim.
A Prime membership costs CA$9.99 each month, and a Stack TV subscription costs CA$12.99 on top, but both offer free trials to new users.
Those on vacation away from Canada will need one of the best VPNs to use their usual streaming service when abroad. We recommend NordVPN.
There's nothing confirmed for "Rick and Morty" season 8 in the U.K., however, when it does arrive we'd expect it to be available on the free Channel 4 streaming service very soon, which is where every episode of the original series premieres in Blighty, before moving over to Netflix.
Those on vacation away from the U.K. will need a good streaming VPN to log in back home to use Channel 4 as they will be geo-blocked when not at home. We recommend NordVPN.
"Rick and Morty" season 8 arrives in Oz on Max on Monday, May 26.
In Australia, Max pricing starts from AU$11.99, with a AU$10 increase for premium.

Prime Video Developing STEVEN UNIVERSE Spinoff LARS OF THE STARS
Steven Universe, one of the most beloved, highest rated animated series of all-time, said goodbye in early 2019. Later that year Steven Universe: The Movie arrived. But after the limited-run Steven Universe Future ended in 2020, it seemed like that might truly be the franchise's onscreen end. Turns out, thankfully for fans, it wasn't. It's officially getting ready to return to airwaves once again. Cartoon Network Studios has announced its developing a spinoff series, Steven Universe: Lars of the Stars, for Prime Video. Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios, and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe made a huge announcement during its Studio Showcase presentation at this year's Annecy International Animation Film Festival. Cartoon Network Studios revealed it is currently developing what it calls a 'follow-up' to the beloved series. Only, this new show will instead follow a different character from the original show, Lars Barriga. A different main character isn't the only major change. Unlike the original series, which aired on Cartoon Network for five seasons and 160 episodes, Steven Universe: Lars of the Stars is heading to Prime Video. It will also give viewers a chance to go both backwards and forwards through its own universe. Here's the show's official synopsis: From executive producers Rebecca Sugar and Ian Jones-Quartey, Steven Universe: Lars of the Stars explores the past, present and future of the Steven Universe universe. The sequel series follows Lars Barriga, eternal teenager and space outlaw, as he and his pirate crew smuggle contraband, evade the authorities, and uncover the darkest secrets of the fallen Gem Empire. This sequel/spinoff wasn't the only big news announced during the presentation. Cartoon Network also revealed Teen Titans Go! is a go for season 10. That's a really good day for animation fans for very different reasons. One of those show's we expected to return. The other we weren't sure we'd ever see again. But it's just hard to keep a good (Steven) universe down.

Cartoon Network slayed the anti-Pride trolls in their own comments
With all the anti-gay and anti-Pride rhetoric happening, at least Cartoon Network (CN) isn't backing down from their allyship. We may be seeing pullbacks from major corporations like Target, but CN posted a carousel of images of fan-inspired artwork from their queer characters that showed their support of LGBTQ+ identities. Captioned 'You are an EXPERIENCE!' with a Pride flag, they went on to say, 'Pride is a reminder to live bravely in your authenticity - use your voice, stand up for others, and spread love.' They closed it with a heart in each color of the flag. This, of course, sent some people into a tailspin in the comments section, but the animated network didn't hold back from scolding people for their homophobic and pearl clutching responses. Most of the negative comments revolve around how people feel like their 'childhood is gone' and complaining about how CN has turned woke. In return, CN has responded with various reactions that revolve around how it doesn't seem like any of these people have grown up. After a wave of hatred, CN commented that 'some of yall need to rewatch some episodes and it shows,' which further upset the haters but elevated its support from non-bigots, as well. They further trolled people by saying, 'Watching comments be mad about characters from a show that aired 15 years ago' after people initially blew up about the post. It wasn't only the hatred they responded to, either. Some users have called out the homophobia and hate crimes that have seen an uptick this year. One user said they were happy that 'at least CN is here for us,' to which they responded, 'always.' The network's willingness to stand up for what they believe in—and the backbone they have not to back down when confronted—has left users calling for a 'raise and extra vacation days' for the people who run the account. Their responses, for their part, have also largely turned around the conversation in lieu of more support than anger. One user commented that they 'came here to fight with someone' but found a 'surprising lack of negative comments now,' which also helps move the conversation forward in a more positive light. All in all, it's nice to know that some companies still stand with us in the face of the unknown. It's even better that they're not willing to bend the knee and stray from who they are and what they believe. Here's to hoping more companies have a spine like this, and that the conversation becomes more positive and inclusive as it has in this comment section.

SEVENTEEN Have a Good Time Being a ‘Bad Influence' in Futuristic Video For Pharrell-Produced Single
SEVENTEEN slink into a gloomy, post-apocalyptic world filled with old school technology in the video for their Pharrell Williams-produced single 'Bad Influence.' The 13-member K-pop boy band dropped the visual from their new HAPPY BURSTDAY album on Wednesday (June 11) and fans will surely be picking through the arresting clip directed by Beomjin for days looking for Easter eggs. The video for the English-language single opens with the singers locked in reflective glass pentagons as they sing about wanting to have a good time while seeming like they're not having one at all. After escaping from the enclosure, they get chased around a brutalist structure by robot dogs singing, 'And I had time to think about it/ But life would be so much better without it/ I don't want it at all/ But, hey, I wanna have a good time' over Pharrell's insistent, fuzzed-out beat. More from Billboard DJ Akademiks Denies Taking Payola From Drake During Kendrick Battle Raekwon and Ghostface Killah Release Trailer for 'Only Built 4 Cuban Linx' Documentary Orlando Bloom Says This Rocker Inspired His 'Deep Cover' Character Who Takes Himself 'Too Seriously' And while the song is about having a good time, the action makes it seem like that is a stretch. Dressed in Blade Runner-like leather jackets designed by Japanese fashion house sacai, they stand around while an unseen member plugs an analog cord into a headphone jack that reads 'Good' as an old school dot matrix printer spits out the lyrics and a few of the guys ghost ride their old school muscle cars. The sci-fi action takes a bizarre turn halfway through when they enter a red zone filled with white mannequin heads wearing blindfolds as one of the singer's puts a checkmark next to 'bad' on a checklist that includes 'lost,' 'sad,' 'raw,' 'happy,' 'innocent' and other emotions. There is also an M.C. Escher-like stairway to nowhere, a bath in a swamp of vintage audio tape, contemplative posing on a pile of tires and moody standing around in dimly lit rooms in the dream sequence-like series of shots that leave more questions than answers HAPPY BURSTDAY debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 album chart, landing the group their seventh top 10-charting album.
