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.
If "Rick and Morty" season 8 isn't available where you're currently located, that doesn't mean you have to miss out on this show while you're away from home. With the right VPN (virtual private network), you can stream the show from anywhere.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're visiting the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select a U.S. server from the location list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the show. Head to your streaming service app — so Max, for example — and watch "Rick and Morty" season 8 online from wherever you are in the world.
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.
U.S. viewers on vacation Down Under can use a VPN to stream "Rick and Morty" season 8 just as they would back home. We recommend NordVPN.

BBC Studios, Blink Industries Team Up for New Animated Martial Arts Series, ‘Children Vs Battle SuperStars'
BBC Studios Kids & Family is developing a new animated series aimed at 8 to 12-year-olds, in collaboration with Blink Industries. 'Children Vs Battle SuperStars' (working title) will be the first project under a two-year first-look deal between the two companies, which are will share early details about the title with potential clients at this week's Annecy Animation Festival. The 22-episode series follows a martial arts tournament in a fantastical, modern-day world. It focuses on ordinary children facing off against larger-than-life 'Battle SuperStars.' The show's creators, Remus Buznea and Kyriaki Kyriakou (known professionally as Kiki), are known for their work on 'Rick and Morty' bumpers, 'Primal' and the award-winning short 'Dateless.' More from Variety 'Mary Anning': Swiss Animation Unearths the Childhood Backstory of a Legendary Fossil Pioneer in Annecy Playing Feature International Animation Unions Plan Protest Against AI at Annecy Festival: 'Generative Al Do Not Support Artists, It Destroys Them' Global Constellation Unveils Ambitious Animation Slate at Annecy (EXCLUSIVE) 'The idea for the series was initially sparked by our constant defeats in online fighting game matches at the hands of children and the tremendous turmoil this no-win scenario brought about,' said Buznea and Kyriakou. 'Through a 'tournament' narrative, we wanted to explore the competitive spirit and humorously deconstruct the tropes of the martial arts genre.' Grainne McNamara, VP of development for live action and animation at BBC Studios Kids & Family, described the show as 'comedic and quirky, combining the ordinary with the bizarre.' She added, 'It has the most brilliant characters – from the central trio of friends battling the Super Stars to a mystery fighter which no tournament would be complete without.' Blink Industries, which has won Emmy, Annie and BAFTA awards, will produce the series. Benjamin Lole, Head of Animation and Executive Producer at Blink, praised the creative team behind the project. 'Remus and Kiki's specific brand of humor and standout visual style has created such a unique take on the tournament genre,' said Lole. 'We can't wait to throw our hat in the ring and create something that will compete with anime greats like 'Naruto,' 'Dragon Ball,' and 'Pokémon.''

'Rick and Morty' Season 8 streaming: How to watch, episode release schedule and more
We independently evaluate the products we review. When you buy via links on our site, we may receive compensation. Read more about how we vet products and deals. The Emmy-winning animated series Rick and Morty is back for its eighth season. The irreverent series about a mad scientist and his grandson's adventures across the universe premiered in May on Adult Swim. New episodes are dropping weekly through July 27. The series, which stars Ian Cardoni, Harry Belden, Sarah Chalke, Chris Parnell, and Spencer Grammer will also be airing in over 170 countries, so whether you're in the U.S. or abroad, here's everything you need to know about how to watch Rick and Morty Season 8, including where to stream it and how to watch it with the help of a VPN if you don't have cable. Season 8 of Rick and Morty premiered on Sunday, May 25. The series won't land on streaming in the U.S. until after the entire season wraps up — so if you're used to watching Rick and Morty on HBO Max, heads up that you'll have to wait until Sept. 1 to catch Season 8. Rick and Morty airs on Adult Swim. After an entire season is finished airing, it will eventually stream on HBO Max. It is however already available to stream on HBO Max in Australia... There are several ways you can watch Rick and Morty without cable. Adult Swim is available on several platforms, including DirecTV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV. Warner Bros. Discovery has also confirmed that episodes will be available to stream in the U.S. on Max, but not until Sept. 1. While the new season of Rick and Mortys won't be immediately available on Max (you'll have to wait until it arrives on Sept. 1), you can catch the past seven seasons on demand on the platform now. If you don't have cable but still want to stream Season 8 of Rick and Morty as new episodes are released, all it takes is a VPN. By using a VPN, you can access new episodes of Rick and Morty when they air in other countries and stream them on demand after they premiere. Just note that the premiere dates may vary. For example, it's scheduled to debut June 1 in the U.K. on Channel 4's My4, and May 26 on the Australian version of HBO Max (though you'll still need your US HBO subscription to watch it). Just set your VPN location to the U.K. or Australia, respectively. A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming. Whether you're looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to overseas broadcasts, a VPN can help you out. Looking to try a VPN for the first time? This guide breaks down the best VPN options for every kind of user.

Good Night, and Good Luck: Live Broadcast of Broadway Play Delivers CNN's 2nd-Biggest Night of 2025
'Twas a good night, indeed. CNN's live broadcast of the George Clooney-led Broadway play Good Night, and Good Luck on Saturday night reached 7.34 million global viewers, including streaming audiences on Max and More from TVLine Ratings: Tony Awards Surge 38% to Biggest Audience Since 2019 Yes, George Clooney Has Seen The Pitt - Here's What the ER Vet Had to Say About Noah Wyle's New Medical Show Adolescence Rises to No. 2 on Netflix's All-Time Top 10, Passing Stranger Things 4 - And There It Will Stay The Stateside share of that audience tallied 5.64 million people, with an additional 1.7 million tuning in internationally. On CNN alone, Good Night, and Good Luck drew north of 2 million total viewers, fueling a No. 1 ranking across all of cable for the day, and leading the newser to its second-highest Prime (7 pm-11 pm) delivery of the year in total viewers — trailing only President Trump's address to Congress on March 4. Good Night, and Good Luck gave CNN its third-biggest event of 2025 on the Max platform, viewing peaked at 8:33 pm (during the closing monologue of the performance, suggesting sustained tune-in). Of note, 155,000 total people attended Good Night, and Good Luck performances throughout its nine-week Broadway run. Based on the 2005 film of the same name, Good Night, and Good Luck — which wrapped its Broadway run on Sunday — starred ER alum Clooney as legendary CBS journalist Edward R. Murrow. The true story takes place in the 1950s, as Murrow came under fire for criticizing Sen. Joseph McCarthy, who levied unsubstantiated charges of communism at various Americans during the Cold War. The 100-minute production ran without intermission, as it has since it opened at New York's Winter Garden Theatre on April 3. Clooney directed the 2005 film, in which he played Murrow's producer, Fred Friendly. In the Broadway show, Friendly is played by Glenn Fleshler (True Detective). Clooney and Grant Heslov wrote both the movie and the play. The play's cast also includes Clark Gregg (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Ilana Glazer (Broad City), Carter Hudson, Paul Gross, Christopher Denham, Fran Kraz, Mac Brandt, Will Dagger and Georgia Heers. The production is nominated for five Tony Awards, including Clooney for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play. Note: Though the CNN-provided photos below are black-and-white, the broadcast was in color.
