Key Takeaways:

• Adult Swim offers a free 24-hour Rick and Morty marathon on their website (U.S. only), but you can’t choose episodes or access controls like fast-forward and rewind.

Where to Watch Rick and Morty: Release Date on Adult Swim

U.S.-based Netflix users may be disappointed to find that Rick and Morty isn’t available on U.S. Netflix. The good news is that it is available in other Netflix libraries, with the first five seasons on Netflix U.K. and Netflix Japan. If you’re in the U.S., you can use a VPN to get around the regional restrictions and access a Netflix library where Rick and Morty is available. 

Unfortunately, season six will arrive on Netflix at a yet-to-be-announced later date, so if you want to watch the new episodes as soon as they come out, you’ll need to watch them on Adult Swim, Hulu or HBO Max.

Which Streaming Services Have Rick and Morty?

If you’re in the U.S., you can find Rick and Morty on Hulu and HBO Max.

In addition to Netflix, Rick and Morty is available on a variety of streaming sites across the net. Just bear in mind that some platforms only have Rick and Morty up to season four. We’ve scoured the web and have found the series on the following platforms: 

• Netflix — France (seasons 1 through 4)
• Netflix — U.K., Japan (seasons 1 through 5)
• HBO Max — U.S. (seasons 1 through 6)
• Hulu — U.S. (seasons 1 through 6)
• YouTube TV — U.S. (seasons 3 through 5; only select episodes available) 

Other Ways to Stream Rick and Morty

You can pay for or rent individual episodes or whole seasons of Rick and Morty on Amazon Prime Video. With Amazon Prime U.S., you can also catch up on new episodes of Dexter, six seasons of Grimm, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and other shows and movies.

Rick and Morty is also available on Vudu, iTunes and Google Play. If you’re a bit more traditional, you can buy the series box sets on DVD or Blu-ray on Amazon. 

Where Can I Watch Rick and Morty for Free?

Adult Swim lets U.S. website visitors tune in to a free 24-hour Rick and Morty marathon.

Rick and Morty’s parent channel is called Adult Swim, which is regarded as the adult equivalent of Cartoon Network. At the time of writing, there is a free 24-hour Rick and Morty marathon available on Adult Swim’s website, but you can’t choose the episodes you want to watch. You don’t have access to controls like fast-forward or rewind, either.

If you’d like to watch the marathon but aren’t in the U.S., you can connect to a U.S. VPN server to access it. For VPN suggestions, check out our best VPN for streaming article, or sign up with the 30-day money-back guarantee of ExpressVPN, our number-one VPN from that list.

If you have a cable box, watching Rick and Morty on TV shouldn’t be too difficult, as Adult Swim regularly airs reruns.

In addition to this, some streaming services offer free trials. At the moment, HBO Max doesn’t offer a free trial, but Hulu does with two plans — Hulu and Hulu (No Ads). As Hulu is a U.S. streaming service, you need a U.S. payment method to sign up. If you don’t have a U.S. payment method, you’ll have to use a VPN in combination with a gift card.

How to Stream Rick and Morty With a VPN

Stay tuned as we show you how to stream Rick and Morty with a VPN (virtual private network) in a few simple steps. There are a lot of VPNs to choose from, so if you’re new to VPNs, we recommend ExpressVPN — our favorite VPN for Netflix.  

1. Get ExpressVPN

   Open the ExpressVPN App and click the three horizontal dots to choose or search for a server.

Regardless, click on the server and then click the “power on” button to connect.

Final Thoughts: Rick and Morty Season 1 to Season 6

Whether you want to watch a single episode or an entire Rick and Morty season, with a quality streaming VPN and a Netflix account, you can watch it from anywhere. 

That combination unlocks infinite entertainment options: you can watch Bourne movies, The Office and other movies (see our entertainment archives). Unfortunately, Netflix viewers will have to wait a little while for season 6.

If you usually live in the U.S. but are traveling, you can also use a VPN to access your regular U.S. streaming services like Hulu and HBO Max while you’re away — which you’ll need anyway if you want to watch season 6 on its release date.

Besides Rick and Morty, you can watch the whole Harry Potter series and Pretty Little Liars on HBO Max. Alternatively, you can watch Atlanta, Abbott Elementary and other flicks on Hulu.

Moreover, a good streaming VPN like ExpressVPN lets you access streaming services not available in the U.S. For example, you can access ITV Hub to watch Love Island U.K. or Peacock to watch Love Island USA. If you want to recap the six seasons of House of Cards, all you have to do is use a VPN to open Netflix in the U.S., France, Canada, U.K. or Japan.
