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."

Wendy's Launch New Limited-Edition Meal
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Wendy's is set to launch a new limited-edition meal inspired by Netflix's hit series Wednesday. The "Meal of Misfortune" will be available at participating Wendy's restaurants across the United States starting August 4, 2025, two days before the premiere of the first part of Wednesday Season 2 on Netflix, per a Wendy's press release. Wendy's has been contacted via email for further comment. The limited edition 'Meal of Misfortune,' inspired by Wednesday Addams. The limited edition 'Meal of Misfortune,' inspired by Wednesday Addams. Wendy's The Context Season 1 of Wednesday, released in 2022 and starring Jenna Ortega, was Netflix's most watched English-language TV show with 252.1 million viewers according to Netflix's companion site, Tudum. The company is rolling out several new meals and initiatives this year, including the "Meal of Misfortune," a "100 Days of Summer" program, and a collaboration with Takis snacks. What Is in Wendy's 'Meal of Misfortune'? A press release from Wendy's says that the meal was "designed by Wednesday Addams." The "Meal of Misfortune" centers on four new mystery "Dips of Dread"— You Can't Hyde, This Will Sting, Grave Mistake, and Nowhere to Woe. Each meal comes with two randomly selected sauces. The bundle includes "Rest in 10-Piece" Nuggets, small "Cursed & Crispy" Fries, and the debut of the "Raven's Blood" Frosty, a vanilla Frosty with a dark cherry swirl. The press release states that people will have to buy multiple meals in order to try all four sauces. The meal will be available through restaurants and the Wendy's app in the U.S. from August 4, followed by releases in Canada starting August 11 as well as in Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, and Guam. Wendy's has not specified an end date for the promotion. Who Is Wednesday Addams? Wednesday Addams is a gothic child who first appeared in American popular culture in 1938 as a member of the Addams family, a cartoon family invented by artist Charles Addams for The New Yorker. The Addams family was then turned into a sitcom in 1964, and has had its stories rebooted in several films and TV shows since. Wednesday is the latest iteration of Addams family lore. It focuses on Wednesday's teenage school years at Nevermore Academy, a fictional school for outcast and quirky children. What People Are Saying Liz Geraghty, international chief marketing officer for The Wendy's Company, said in a press release: "This isn't a typical collaboration, because not just any brand could scheme up a Meal of Misfortune with Wednesday Addams. But for a brand that's proudly customer-obsessed and unapologetically bold, it was a match made in dark, dry-witted heaven." The character of Wednesday Addams was quoted in the press release, saying: "Normally I'd be against this kind of capitalistic corporate synergy, but when the fast-food-slinging pigtailed provocateur said I could do whatever I wanted to her customers, I couldn't resist." What Happens Next The first half of Wednesday Season 2 airs on Netflix on August 6. Wednesday has already been renewed for a third season.

Millennial Planning for 20th High School Reunion, Uncovers Viral 2005 Relic
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A candid lip-synch video captured during a student's last week of high school in 2005 has become a viral sensation on TikTok, after the now-38-year-old parent rediscovered the lighthearted footage and decided to share it online. The footage, shot by then-18-year-old Kyle Philippi (@kylephilippi), involves a range of senior-year students and teachers each lip-synching and dancing along to "Let's Get It Started" by The Black Eyed Peas, which had been released two years earlier in 2003. The 2000s backdrop, clothing and gadgets paired with the animated dance moves and gestures has left viewers online in hysterics. To date, the post has been viewed more than 617,000 times. "During my last week of senior year in 2005, I ran around the school, getting everyone to lip-synch to this song," Philippi, who is based in Tennessee, told Newsweek. "It was pretty unusual for a student to have a video camera back then, but everyone was happy to play along!" From left: Kyle Philippi, now 38, poses for a headshot outdoors; and a clip from the high school lip-synch video he shot in 2005. From left: Kyle Philippi, now 38, poses for a headshot outdoors; and a clip from the high school lip-synch video he shot in 2005. @kylephilippi The video, which featured the overlaid text "enjoy this millennial core," has sparked a wave of nostalgia among viewers, many of whom are younger that Philippi, as Gen Z continues to romanticize aspects of the 90s and 2000s. "Remember when people used to be fun?" one viewer commented, while another added: "Can we bring back not being called cringe just for having fun." "The most millennial part of this is people not being too cool for fun," a third viewer posted. "Remember when we had light in our eyes?" one added, while a different viewer commented: "Genuinely the last time life was good." "This is real millennial core," one said. "The world just isn't like this anymore," another added. Philippi reflected on the joy the short clip has brought to viewers across the world, two decades after it was filmed at his high school. "It is fun to see this video have a second life," Philippi said. "When I made it during my senior year, everyone geeked out over it—we even sold DVDs of it, and it was featured on the local news. "Then it sat buried for 20 years!" he added. As his 20-year high school reunion approached, Philippi, who now has two children, decided to post it on social media for the first time. "Back in 2005, there was no way to share a video like that online, so it only circulated on DVDs," he said. "To see it get this kind of reaction 20 years later is really exciting. "I think there is something really special that millennials share in our upbringing, because our memories were not shared on the internet until college, with Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube all emerging in our adulthood." Philippi's love for cameras and filming as a teenager has paid off. He now enjoys a successful career as a content creator and nonprofit director.

When It Comes to Cheese, This New Burger Is Thinking Outside the Bun
is a senior reporter at covering restaurant trends, home cooking advice, and all the food you can't escape on your TikTok FYP. Previously, she worked for Bon Appétit and VICE's Munchies. A new style of burger that's hitting restaurants across the country leans even heavier on the cheese in the word 'cheeseburger.' You'll find it at the Japanese TokiDoki Burger in Minneapolis. For $5, give any burger on the menu a 'fondue' upgrade. Cooks pour cheese sauce onto a sizzling cast iron platter, slice a burger in half, and place it cut-side down in the pool of bubbling cheese. Diners are meant to swipe the burger through the hot cheese, but nothing's stopping them from giving their side of fries or chicken wings the same treatment. It's a burger with all the head-turning appeal of a hissing and crackling platter of fajitas. At TokiDoki Burger, the majority of cheese goes outside the burger instead of in it. Ramen Kazama/TokiDoki Burger In the hometown of the Juicy Lucy, 'I wanted to make something special that nobody [else] has,' says chef and owner Yuichiro Matthew Kazama — thus, cheese outside the burger instead of in it. Naturally, Kazama's cheese sauce uses cheese curds, though he adds dashi and kombu to anchor the resulting product to the rest of the flavors on the menu. It's a hot plate. The same idea is known as the 'Futo Sizzler' at Bar Futo in Portland, Maine, where the patty is grilled over binchotan. At the San Antonio ramen restaurant Noodle Tree, the 'Tokii burger' comes either in a truffle cheddar sauce or a spicy version with additional sliced jalapeños. Order the 'Shoji burger' at San Francisco's buzzy, new Bar Shoji, and your server will pour the cheese sauce into the hot platter in front of you. Does calling them cheeseburgers do them justice, or are they more like burgers with cheese? Call them what you want, they're burgers for the era of made-for-video menus, when the only way to usurp the ubiquity of the cheese pull is to up the ante further. To Bar Futo chef and co-owner Cyle Reynolds and many others — especially tourists — Portland, Maine, is a lobster roll town. So while the seafood staple appears on the restaurant's lunch menu, the Futo Sizzler was meant to appeal to the local crowd as a leveled-up version of an approachable dish. 'I want to be a restaurant that's loved by locals, and I think it's that kind of stuff that does it,' he says. It makes sense that, for the most part, this burger style is making its first appearances in the United States at Japanese restaurants. Tokyo's smashburger-focused American Diner Andra appears to be the originator of the trend, having served a similar burger in silken cheese since 2022. In Japan, the category of food known as yoshoku refers to Western food with a Japanese twist. The trend first gained traction more locally, with restaurants in the Philippines, Guam, and Pakistan offering the sizzling burger before it hit the U.S. The sizzling burger's new presence stateside marks a moment of full-circle cultural exchange, however: an American-themed diner in Japan influencing Japanese restaurants in the U.S., and doing so through one of the most stereotypically 'American' foods. The burger has long been a symbol of globalization, and as that same dish trends on opposite sides of the world, it shows just how permeable the boundaries between food cultures have become, thanks mostly to social media. At Da' Burger Wing Hub in Wahiawa, Hawaii, chef and owner Arjay Mijares doubles down on the sizzling cheeseburger's fajita-like appeal. His take is a cheeseburger with peppers and onions that's served in pepper jack cheese sauce, then piled with onion rings and pico de gallo. It's not even the restaurant's flashiest burger: Mijares has also served a mac and cheese burger that gets cheese sauce poured over the top, and burgers on sizzling platters that are set on fire. Located away from the city and with a largely military base clientele, the goal is to offer burgers that 'no one has had before — the bigger, the better,' Mijares says. It's essential, as a newer restaurant, he says, to leave diners looking forward to the theatrics of the next special. The 2010s brought us absurd, shock-and-awe burgers: unreasonable toppings, huge patties, buns dyed weird colors, flecks of gold foil, and so on. The 2020s, so far, have seen a swing back toward simpler smashburgers. The sizzling cheeseburger, in all its gooey glory, suggests that the pendulum is swinging back again, into the realm of showy performance and captivating cheese.
