"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.
