'Rick and Morty' Season 8 streaming: How to watch, episode schedule and more
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 on Adult Swim on Sunday, May 25 at 11 p.m. ET with the first of 10 new episodes that 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.

'Hacks' Season 5 Is Officially Happening — Here's What to Know
Hacks fans have more than just a finale to look forward to. The hit Emmy-winning series starring Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder will officially return for a fifth season. Here is everything we know so far. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE Yes! On May 27, Hacks was officially renewed for a fifth season. Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder celebrated the renewal in a video posted to the 'streamonmax' Instagram account. 'I'm so excited,' said Smart. 'Hacks just got officially picked up for season 5. I'm thrilled! Congratulations to my cast and everybody in the production. And to all of our Hacks fans out there, please join us again for season 5. Yay!' Einbinder echoed those sentiments. 'It's official,' she said. 'We're coming back for season 5, baby! And don't worry, I will continue to pitch the lesbian arc.' For those who closely follow the show, the announcement of a fifth season should come as no surprise. Last year, show creators Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky sat with The Hollywood Reporter to discuss their 'ideal' five-season plan for the series. Statsky said that Smart was likely to be on board, saying, 'She's somebody who's like, "Let's not dilute what it is. Let's make sure it stays high-quality."' Downs agreed. 'When we first met with her, we talked about this plan without being too specific,' he said. 'She and Hannah both read the scripts as they are written. They don't want us to say, "OK, here's what's happening this season."' It's safe to say that Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder will return as Deborah and Ava, respectively. Paul W. Downs and Megan Stalter are also likely to reprise their roles. This story will be updated. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.

And Just Like That Season 4 - News, Cast, Updates, More
While Sex and the City is a beloved, ground-breaking show that fans still rewatch today. It's sequel series, And Just Like That, is loved for different reasons. The series is so wacky and so distinct from the original, that it's addictive in its own way—it's hard not to tune in to find out what totally unexpected or unreasonable thing is going to happen next. (Plus, there's still some great fashion to take in!) So, if you're excited about the third season, you're not alone, and if you're already wondering if there is going to be a fourth, that's understandable. Hell, at this point, let the story of Carrie Bradshaw continue on as long as possible. Here's what we know about the future of And Just Like That. As reported by Deadline, And Just Like That was renewed for a third season in August 2023, only a couple of days before the season 2 finale. At that time, the show was only renewed for one season, so there is no official announcement about a fourth season yet. The good news? If HBO Max follows a similar pattern when it comes to announcing the fourth season, we'll find out very soon. Season 3 premieres on May 29, and according to The Hollywood Reporter, the finale will air August 14. So, maybe we'll get an announcement in August? Love. Friendship. Aging. Family. New York City. Shoes. You know, the usual. It's impossible to know at this point what the specific storylines would be, because season 3 isn't over yet. I mean, season 2 ended with Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Aidan (John Corbett) breaking up and making some sort of vague deal that they'd reunite after five years when his kids were grown up. Didn't see that one coming, so anything can happen! The third season focuses on Carrie, Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), Seema (Sarita Choudhury), and LTW (Nicole Ari Parker.) We know that Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez) and Nya (Karen Pittman) are not returning, so it seems unlikely that they'd be back for a potential fourth season. We also know that Dolly Wells and Sebastiano Pigazzi are returning after joining in season 2, so if their connections to Miranda and Anthony (Mario Cantone), respectively, continue on, maybe they'll be back for season 4, too. And while we got a glimpse of her in the season 2 finale, Samantha (Kim Cattrall) will not be back. Well, probably. In July 2024, Cattrall responded to a post on X (formerly Twitter) about her returning for season 3. She wrote, "Aw that's so kind but I'm not" and added a kiss emoji. Fourth season's a charm? Doubtful. If there is a fourth season of And Just Like That, it's hard to know when it will be released. There was a year-and-a-half gap between the first season and the second, and then there was a two-year break between the release of the second and the third seasons. As noted by The Hollywood Reporter, there was a delay in production of season 3 due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes. So, unless there's another delay, maybe season 4 would have a faster turnaround. For now, take in all that season 3 has to offer, including Carrie becoming a fiction writer, flirtations with new love interests, and rats. Yes, rats. That's new, huh?

Beyoncé closed out her New York shows in style with a bold fashion tribute to Jay-Z
Hear this story AI-assisted summary Beyoncé concluded her New York area shows for her Cowboy Carter and Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour with a performance at MetLife Stadium. The singer debuted several new outfits, including one featuring a tribute to her husband, Jay-Z. The tour continues with upcoming dates in London and will conclude in Las Vegas in July. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter ended her first U.S. stint with a bang in the New York area, serving fresh looks and paying homage to her husband, Jay-Z. The Grammy-winning singer hit the stage for her fifth show at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on May 29. The concert marked Beyoncé's final performance in the New York area — East Rutherford, New Jersey — on her Cowboy Carter and Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She first kicked off her New York area run on May 22. During the show, Beyoncé rocked several new, show-stopping looks, making a fashion statement throughout the evening. One of her notable new looks appeared during her "Alligator Tears" performance. Beyoncé entered the stage in a black cowboy hat, a black furry coat, and black buckled pants paired with a corset. Many fans instantly took note of the ensemble with one saying, " Oh, this new look is the best yet on the entire tour. Once again, I'm gagged." Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Another head-turner came later in the show, when Beyoncé donned an "NY" cowboy hat, sparkly chaps, a fringed varsity jacket, and a T-shirt featuring a throwback photo of her husband, hip-hop mogul Jay-Z, who was born in Brooklyn. The outfit made for a special moment when Beyoncé included a snippet of his 2008 hit "I'm a Hustler" in her set. Beyoncé's tour has been a huge showcase of fashion and creativity, while also putting a spotlight on the Black-owned brand Telfar. Each night, Beyoncé continues to blend high fashion and cowboy couture, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as they anticipate a new look. There's been many looks incorporating Western-glam: sparkly chaps, cowboy hats, boots and piles of fringe. And her New York closer was no different. As fans know, Beyoncé first released the 27-track project in March 2024. It has since made history and broken multiple records. As Beyoncé's first country album, she deliberately featured country legends and emerging Black country artists alike. She became the first Black woman to win best country album at the 2025 Grammys and also took home album of the year. Of course, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. The concerts have been revolutionary shows filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26. Her next stop will be in London at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 5, 7, 10, 12, 14 and 16.
