Rick and Morty Season 8 Returns in Full Force—Here’s What to Expect Next
Hey everyone, let’s talk about something that's got all of us sci-fi and animation fans buzzing again— "Rick and Morty" is officially back with Season 8 ! After what felt like an eternity (okay, a year and a half), our favorite chaotic duo—grandpa Rick and grandson Morty—have returned to Adult Swim, and the new season is already off to a wild start.
Season 8 premiered on May 25, 2025 , with the episode titled “Summer of All Fears.” If you haven’t caught it yet, it’s the kind of surreal, twisted ride that only Rick and Morty can pull off. Without spoiling too much, it’s full of dark laughs, unexpected plot turns, and of course, the kind of multiverse mayhem we've come to expect. But now, fans are already looking ahead to Episode 2, “Valkyrick,” dropping June 1 at 11 PM ET/PT on Adult Swim.

The show’s return was first teased during the April Fools’ Day special with a 22-minute “greatest hits” kind of feature, and from there, it’s been full steam ahead. The creators, including Dan Harmon, have promised even more bizarre, off-the-wall adventures with not just Rick and Morty, but also Summer, Jerry, both Beths (yes, still two of them), and maybe even the return of fan favorites like Butter Bot or Space Beth. And yes, if you’re hoping for something on the level of Pickle Rick , who knows—this season might just surprise us.
For those wondering when and where to watch: new episodes air every Sunday night on Adult Swim . And if you miss it live, you can buy them the next day through digital platforms. If you're more of a binge-watcher, hang tight—Season 8 will be available on HBO Max and Hulu in September . That’s when you can catch all ten episodes, from the premiere to the finale, “Hot Rick,” scheduled for July 27.
This season’s episode titles already hint at the kind of absurd fun that’s coming: “The Rick, The Mort & The Ugly,” “The Curicksous Case of Bethjamin Button,” “Nomortland” —you get the idea. It’s clear the writers haven’t run out of puns or interdimensional chaos just yet.
If you fell off the Rick and Morty train during the mid-seasons, now might be the time to hop back on. Fans and critics alike are saying Seasons 6 and 7 brought the show back to form—still wild, still smart, but with a little more heart and a lot fewer filler gags.
So, whether you’re a longtime fan or someone cautiously tuning in again, Season 8 of Rick and Morty is shaping up to be a solid ride through the strange and ridiculous. Just make sure you’re strapped in for Episode 2 this Sunday—things are only getting started, and in the Rickverse, literally anything can happen.
