Rick and Morty season 8 release schedule – when are new episodes out?
The unlikely duo are back in action for 10 weeks of chaos.
Fans had to wait a long time for Rick and Morty season 8, but now it's finally here, and airing new episodes weekly, both in the US and the UK.
Season 8 sees the titular duo and the rest of the Smith family going on more multiversal, sci-fi adventures, often leaving mayhem in their wake.
"Rick and Morty is back for Season Eight! Life has meaning again! Anything is possible!" reads the official plot synopsis. "Look out for adventures with Summer, Jerry, Beth, and the other Beth. Maybe Butter Bot will get a new task? Whatever happens, you can’t keep Rick and Morty down for long. People have tried!"
Thankfully, this isn't the end for Rick and Morty – in fact, far from it. Last year, Adult Swim renewed the show for a number of future seasons, keeping it on the air until at least season 12.
But for now, here's the release schedule for Rick and Morty season 8 in the US and the UK.

Is Rick and Morty season 8 coming to Netflix?
After a window of exclusivity on Channel 4 (the UK home of Adult Swim content), previous new editions of the sci-fi comedy have later migrated to Netflix months down the line, where all previous seasons remain available to stream right now.
It's seems plausible, then, that Rick and Morty season 8 will also eventually land on Netflix – but as it stands, new episodes are only available to watch via E4 in the UK.
Rick and Morty season 8 is airing weekly on E4.
