'Rick and Morty' Season 8 streaming: How to watch, episode schedule and more
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.

‘Rick and Morty' Teases an Emotional Season 8 Finale—and That New Spin-Off
'Hot Rick,' the season eight finale of Rick and Morty, hits Adult Swim July 27. At the show's San Diego Comic-Con panel, the cast and creators teased the emotional impact it'll make—while also sharing a clip packed full of the show's trademark humor—particularly as it relates to Rick's arc this season. Speaking about Rick's evolution, not just this season but since the show's 2013 debut, executive producer Dan Harmon was reflective. 'Having a character that starts off so edgy and nihilistic, it's kind of painful sometimes if you get the sense that the character growing or changing is going to be received by some people as the character softening or getting more sterile or sanitized,' he said. 'I would just ask people to consider the alternative, which would be like—things don't age well, especially edginess from a 52-year-old guy. I can only ever just follow my instincts about, like, would I continue to be a crotchety old man that thinks he's smarter than everyone in the room? I'm still a nihilist, but I think that the nihilism, when we started the show, it felt like a tentacle of trust going between an audience that was very disillusioned by the kind of artifice of television. And that it made them trust us to start the conversation with, okay, let's go with your worst fear. What if nothing means anything? … But the show was never trying to say, 'Let's all now surrender to meaninglessness.' It was just saying, 'I know how you feel.'' Showrunner and executive producer Scott Marder hinted that 'Hot Rick' will offer 'a good explainer for why [Rick's] just the way he is,' with some payoffs coming for intentional story choices made throughout the season. Sarah Chalke, who plays Beth (and Space Beth), called season eight one of her all-time favorites. '[It's] so well written and so funny and smart and great … One of the things about the show is that it can just punch you in the gut, and all of a sudden you're so emotional, and the finale did that. That's one of my favorite episodes.' There's more Rick and Morty to come—as well as the spin-off President Curtis, which was announced at the panel with the help of star Keith David. 'Here's what you're supposed to do when you have an amazing show that runs for a million years and makes everyone happy. You make a spin-off,' Harmon—who's also an exec producer on President Curtis—explained. For his part, David sounded delighted about the project. 'It's always great being with Rick and Morty, and then to spin off and create another kind of universe where [my character is] less about the bureaucracy of government than going above and below this world to do great things.' Harmon offered a few nuggets about the characters David's co-stars Jim Rash and Stephanie Beatriz will be playing. Rash is Special Agent O'Doyle, who is 'a half-leprechaun, so he has all your standard leprechaun powers… it's more a sci-fi version of what a half-leprechaun would be.' Beatriz plays Curtis' chief of staff, and 'she's got AI implants that try to maximize her neuroplasticity. She's not a robot, she's not cyborg, but she's a medical freak with the ability to learn and unlearn things at her discretion.' Harmon described President Curtis as 'more X-Files than Doctor Who' on 'the level of sci-fi that would only be boring to Rick, which allows us to go deeper into it. It is the president's world. I think Rick feels he's above that. We are not going to do a bunch of alternate dimension hopping in this show. This show takes place in one universe where the president's got one planet to run—don't tell the rest of the countries he thinks that—but he's protecting it from forces that would otherwise usurp it.'

TVLine's Performer of the Week: Sarah Jessica Parker
THE PERFORMER | Sarah Jessica Parker More from TVLine And Just Like That EPs Tell All About That Taylor Swift Needle Drop, Why It Was Perfect for Carrie's Big Moment Resident Alien's Alan Tudyk, Corey Reynolds and More Mourn Series' Cancellation, Promise Fans 'Will Still Get a Complete Story' Resident Alien Cancelled, Will End With Season 4 THE SHOW | And Just Like That… THE EPISODE | 'Present Tense' (July 24, 2025) THE PERFORMANCE | Like Carrie said a couple weeks ago, she and Aidan are '20 years in' to their relationship — if you don't count the time they were married to other people — and there's a lot of water under that bridge by now. But this week on HBO Max's sequel series, that water started to flood over, and Parker gave us vintage Carrie Bradshaw, digging deep and finding an inner strength and courage as she stood up for herself and cut things off with Aidan for good. As the episode opened, Carrie noticed that Aidan's old jealousy was coming back as he needled her handsome neighbor Duncan, and Parker's furrowed brow and sour expression spoke volumes, telling us that Carrie's worst fears about Aidan were coming true. She was later stung by Aidan kicking her out of bed for smelling like smoke, but Parker didn't back down, with Carrie bluntly telling him the next morning: 'Aidan, you're worried about me and another man.' It all came to a head when she and Aidan met for lunch, with Carrie picking up on the fact that Aidan said he 'has' trust issues, not 'had.' She stood her ground, frustration gathering in Parker's voice as Carrie told Aidan, 'I have done nothing!' (When he excused his trust issues with 'Well, can you f—king blame me?' she fired back: 'Can you stop f—king blaming me?') She finally realized they had to call it quits, with Carrie sadly declaring: 'I can't give you any more than I have, and it wasn't enough.' In a way, it was a callback to Carrie's best moments on Sex and the City, like when she told off Big after he got engaged to Natasha. ('I don't get it.' 'And you never did.') And it was exhilarating to see Carrie take control of her future once again, a Taylor Swift song playing as she headed back out onto the New York City streets to meet her girlfriends. Parker tapped into the untamed spirit that made us fall in love with Carrie Bradshaw in the first place — and showed us that her story is far from over. Scroll down to see who got Honorable Mention shout-outs this week… HONORABLE MENTION: Anson Mount As Enterprise captain Christopher Pike on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Anson Mount has always looked the part of the dashing action hero, and he filled that role admirably this week as Pike and M'Benga beamed down to a hostile planet overrun by zombies to retrieve a rare flower. But the reason why they needed that flower — to try to save the life of Pike's Gorn-infected girlfriend Marie — added a poignant emotional layer to Pike's actions, with Mount infusing a palpable edge of anxiety into Pike's reckless drive to complete the mission. Then when Pike reunited with Marie on the ship, Mount showed more vulnerability than we're used to seeing from a Starfleet captain as Pike confessed how scared he is about Marie's fate. It's nice to see a Star Trek captain save the day, of course… but we're also happy to see Mount delve into what's truly important to this captain. — D.N. HONORABLE MENTION: Ebony Obsidian As any Sistas fan can attest, Karen's pregnancy has been a wild ride for everyone involved. Not only has it lasted more than five seasons, but what began as a simple 'who's the daddy?' mystery eventually gave way to a soap-tastic 'twins from two different fathers' scenario. And up until now, we've all enjoyed watching the saga unfold, relishing each ridiculous twist and turn. But there was nothing to enjoy about Wednesday's episode, save for the incredible performance delivered by Ebony Obsidian at her character's darkest hour yet. It was devastating enough watching Karen struggle to have her concerns taken seriously by her racist doctor, but the actual moment she learned that one of her twins had died will haunt us for quite some time. Obsidian was given the incredible task of portraying an expectant mother's absolute worst nightmare — from the initial haze of confusion and disbelief, to the sudden wave of insurmountable grief — and she fully rose to the occasion, finding new ways to break our hearts in each scene. Karen may be historically prone to dramatic outbursts, but we've never seen Obsidian forced to give so much of herself, and we're grateful for her sacrifice. — Andy Swift HONORABLE MENTION: Corey Reynolds Corey Reynolds has been a delight throughout Resident Alien's four-season run playing Patience's leading alien skeptic Sheriff Mike. But ever since Mike started to believe, the actor has soared even higher with stellar one-liner deliveries and the flaunting of his character's egotistical bravado around town. In Friday's episode, all of that and more took center stage after Mike and Liv finally learned that Harry was, in fact, the town's 'resident alien.' Reynolds had us in stitches as Mike attempted to purposely sweat out pheromones, compared his own 'delicious' qualities to a baked potato (with the works!) and entered into the silliest of stare-downs with Harry. Reynolds has always served up excellent comedic timing, but watching him go toe-to-toe with Alan Tudyk raised the stakes even higher and brought the brightest of smiles to our faces. — Nick Caruso Which performance(s) knocked your socks off this week?

Jennifer Love Hewitt on 'A Killer Among Friends' doc: 'I'm very intrigued by trauma'
From fictional scream queen to true crime. Jennifer Love Hewitt has become one of the iconic 'final girls' in horror movies, thanks to her role in the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' franchise. And now, she's sharing the stories of true murders. Hewitt, 46, narrates and executive produces the true crime ID docuseries 'A Killer Among Friends,' airing Mondays (10 p.m. on ID and streaming on HBO Max). 'I was shocked at how many people in my life are obsessed with true crime – and I didn't know it until I said that I was going to be doing the show. And they're like, 'We can't wait to watch it!' I'm not a true crime buff, per se…I was really interested in this show, more because of the human condition of it all,' Hewitt exclusively told The Post. 8 Jennifer Love Hewitt at the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' premiere in LA on July 14, 2025.

ID Each episode of 'A Killer Among Friends' follows a murder case where the culprit turns out to be someone who knew the victim. '[It's] not something that I've done before, so I was excited for that,' the 'Party of Five' actress said of narrating. 'I feel like that's what we're supposed to do in life: constantly challenge ourselves to do new things.' She 'wasn't sure about' joining the project initially, however. 'I'm used to relying on my face for all the emotions, and bringing those out in that one specific way,' Hewitt explained to The Post. 'So to challenge myself to pay homage to the people lost in these stories and their families and friends who are still here…. I wanted to sound graceful, and to not be in the way of this story. But, to just be the vehicle for the story with my voice.' 8 The ID series 'A Killer Among Friends.' 8 A photo from the trailer of 'A Killer Among Friends.' ID 8 Jennifer Love Hewitt in '9-1-1-.' Disney via Getty Images Hewitt, who was labeled 'a sex symbol' when she was still a teenager in the 1990s, has since spoken about how watching documentaries about Britney Spears in recent years helped her process her complicated feelings about that. 'I think for me to realize later in life that maybe some of the things that were talked about in and around me or directly to me as a young female weren't as they should have been,' she said. In an infamous 1996 interview on 'The Tonight Show' when she was 16, Jay Leno asked about her love life and age. 'I don't hold the people asking those questions responsible – it was more that was the thing that was allowed at that time,' she explained. 'Grown men were allowed to ask young girls questions that now, if we looked at that, we would not allow. We were just sort of a part of that time.' She added, 'I do think that these documentaries in general and documentary series really allow people to see things and look at things differently than maybe they do in a magazine article.' 8 Jennifer Love Hewitt at the '9-1-1' ABC premiere event on March 11, 2024.

'I'm very intrigued by trauma, and… how people continue to move through that and find a life after it,' she said. 'So in this series, I'm interested in these young people and how they've gone on to live lives, even though they've been through these traumatic experiences.' Recently, Hewitt also reprised her role as the traumatized Julie James in the latest 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' reboot, which is currently in theaters. The horror flick's end-credits scene suggested a third movie in the franchise could happen. 'Oh my gosh, I have no idea. I mean, truthfully, I was just excited to be asked back for this one. So I don't want to be too greedy,' Hewitt told The Post. 'But as long as there's a really interesting, fun story to tell, and as long the people still care about the characters, I'm always happy to hopefully find my way back there.'
