Where to Watch Rick and Morty Season 8
Rick and Morty Season 8 is exclusive to Adult Swim, so you can catch all the new episodes there. That's not all. The show has also been greenlit for seasons 9 and 10, so Adult Swim is now the show's home.
"It'll feel like a return to form and kind of like a 'we're back, baby' kind of feeling, and hopefully, season 9 will be that but, you know, even more so," co-creator Dan Harmon tells The Verge. "But it'll be because it's been a gradual process of just trying to get our wind in our sails again."

"While he may be known for playing a significant role in shaping the woman our National Hero Rihanna has become, the truth is that his journey here on earth has touched many more lives," Mottley wrote. "Ronald was a father, a friend, a neighbour, and a proud Barbadian. Indeed, his path, like so many in our community, was not without struggle, but it was also one marked by love, growth, and a deep connection to the people and place that shaped him," the prime minister continued. "To Rihanna, her mother Monica, her brothers Rorrey, Rajad and Jamie, sisters Kandy and Samantha, and all members of the Fenty family, I offer my deepest sympathies. I equally extend my condolences to Ronald's friends and loved ones, both here in Barbados and abroad," he added. "In this time of mourning, we stand united with the Fenty family, offering our prayers and support. May his spirit rest in eternal peace, and may all who loved him find comfort in that love and the memories they were blessed to have shared."
