'Rick and Morty' season 8 streaming: How to watch new episodes, schedule and more
The Emmy-winning animated series Rick and Morty, about a mad scientist and his grandson's adventures across the universe, returned for season 8 on May 25 on Adult Swim. This season consists of 10 all-new episodes that have been dropping weekly on Sundays; the season finale will air 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 the 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 HBO Max, but not until Sept. 1. While the new season of Rick and Morty won't be immediately available on HBO 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 U.S. 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.

Katy Perry's Yacht Glow-up Is Sending Major Vibes After Orlando Bloom Split
It's Katy Perry's time to shine! The 40-year-old pop star has been hard at work on her Lifetimes Tour, and now it's time for her to take a much-needed break between her Australian leg and the U.S. dates. Instead of hitting the rehearsal studio, she spent a relaxing holiday weekend in Capri, Italy, on a yacht. The Daily Mail captured snapshots of Perry lounging in her black bikini, showing off her athletic figure — the glow-up is real! More from SheKnows Orlando Bloom's Post-Wedding Flirt Fest Reportedly Isn't Sitting Well With Katy Perry Perry's holiday isn't a romantic one, though. She was amongst friends, including Canadian talent agent Michael Kives and tech executive Ben Schwerin, and most importantly, daughter Daisy, 4. The media outlet described the yacht excursion as 'lighthearted and relaxed,' and there were no worries about her split from Bloom. While the former couple's representative assured Page Six on July 3 that their core focus is 'love, stability, and mutual respect' for Daisy, there are still reported feelings about Bloom's behavior at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's late June wedding in Venice, Italy. Perry has no problem with her ex pursuing new relationships, but she hoped that he would be more private about his flirtations during this sensitive time. 'If he's going to behave like an acting-up adolescent, that's on him. She's going to continue to work and take care of [their daughter] Daisy,' a source told the Daily Mail, 'Katy knows that he's free to do whatever the hell he wants to do, she hoped he'd do it a little more discreetly and thoughtfully. So, she's disappointed and sad.' But Bloom appears to be in his feelings, too. On July 2, he posted a moody quote from Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung on his Instagram Story, per E! News: 'Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself.' It's been a tough year for Perry with her breakup and the criticism surrounding the Blue Origin launch in April, but she's already showing signs that things are looking up. Her single-gal era might be her strongest one of SheKnows Amber Heard's Entire Dating History: Johnny Depp, Elon Musk, & More 11 of Prince William & Kate Middleton's Biggest Relationship Controversies 13 Celebrities Who Secretly Welcomed Children During Affairs
