A long time coming after Hollywood strike induced delays — we only saw the anime iteration of the titular pair in 2024 — the groundbreaking adult animation returns, and it looks like its back to basics for the Smith family. Keep reading as we explain how to watch Rick and Morty season 8 online from anywhere in the world .
Much of what to expect this season is being kept under wraps for now, but it looks like the latest outing could be the soft reboot the show needed after behind the scenes shake ups and increasingly convoluted storylines.
Judging by the trailer, it looks like the latest season could be more of a throwback to the early days of the show, revolving around Smith family life and relationships, with less of the epic high concept sci-fi rigamarole we’ve seen in the latter outings. Time will tell, but what we know for sure is that after her absence in season 7, Space Beth is back!
Whatever the case, Rick and Morty rarely fails to deliver and its sure to be a hilarious, bonkers and maybe even emotion packed batch of episodes, with Adult Swim teasing: “Life has meaning again! Anything is possible! 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!”
So read on for how to watch Rick and Morty season 8 online, on TV and from anywhere.
