Rick and Morty Season 9 is Here: Episode Release Dates and What to Expect
Get ready, Rick and Morty fans! Our favorite interdimensional duo is making a grand return this Sunday with the highly anticipated ninth season. We had the chance to preview the new episodes, and it looks like the show still has plenty of entertaining surprises to offer. According to reviewers, this season kicks off strong, with several episodes possibly being among the best the series has delivered so far.
As usual, the new episodes will air on Adult Swim before they become available for streaming on HBO Max. Whether you’re planning to catch the new episodes live or prefer to binge-watch later, here’s the scoop on when to tune in.
Rick and Morty Season 9 Episode Release Schedule
The season premiere is set for Sunday, May 24, at 11 PM EST, exclusively on Adult Swim. Following that, a new episode will drop weekly at the same time, bringing the total to ten episodes. Here’s a quick rundown of the release dates and episode titles confirmed so far:
- Episode 1: “There’s Something About Morty” – May 24
- Episode 2: “Ricks Days, Seven Nights” – May 31

Unlike previous seasons, where episodes became available for streaming the next day, Season 9 will not hit HBO Max until the entire season has aired on Adult Swim. Fans remember the long wait for Season 8, which took three months to arrive online. However, this time around, Adult Swim has confirmed that episodes will be available to stream on HBO Max and Hulu starting June 15. So, mark your calendars for that binge session! Expect new episodes to land in batches as the season rolls on.
According to early reviews, keeping a show like Rick and Morty fresh after nine seasons is no small feat, but it seems they’ve managed to do just that. Season 9 is being praised for being a step up from the last, blending clever sci-fi concepts with quirky humor. The series continues to delve into Rick Sanchez’s complicated character and the chaotic dynamics of the Smith family. With three more seasons already confirmed, there’s still a lot of excitement to look forward to!
Back in 2018, Rick and Morty was renewed for a whopping 70 episodes, shortly after the third season wrapped up. Following a recent renewal in 2024, the show is now set for a whopping twelve seasons. So, after Season 9, we still have at least 30 more episodes on the horizon. Stay tuned for more updates, especially with voice actors set to appear at events to share more about what’s next!
