The wait for Rick and Morty Season 9 is almost over. The popular animated series returns to Adult Swim on Sunday, May 24, 2026, at 11 p.m. ET/PT. But for viewers who want to watch on Hulu and HBO Max, there is good news. The streaming release date has been moved up by more than two months from the original plan.
The new season features 10 episodes that will air weekly on Adult Swim. The streaming platforms will begin adding episodes on June 15, 2026, not at the end of August as first announced. This change means fans can watch new episodes on Hulu and HBO Max much sooner than expected.
The show’s official description for Season 9 promises “certified bangers” with “no AI slop” and calls the episodes “Grade A organic slop, made by real humans with real human traits like back hair and cysts.”
