It’s been roughly a month since the last time we’ve seen a new episode of Rick and Morty. But this week we’re finally back.
Leave it to Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland’s sci-fi comedy to keep things unpredictable. After releasing new episodes on a weekly basis, Rick and Morty changed up everything for its finale. We’re about to see the first ever two-part finale for this wild show. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch Rick and Morty Season 5 Episodes 9 and 10.
When Is The Rick and Morty’s Season 5 Episode 9 and 10 Release Date? When Does Rick and Morty Come Back?
You waited patiently, and now the fruits of your labor have paid off. This Sunday, September 5, marks the two-part Season 5 finale of Rick and Morty. “Forgetting Sarick Mortshall” will premiere first. This one is sporting the logline, “Two Crows, broh. These guys are mad smart.” That will be immediately followed by “Rickmurai Jack”, which can be described as “Tryin something new broh. Doin it big.” A big finale means big expectations.
What Time Is Rick and Morty on Tonight? When Does Rick and Morty Season 5 Episode 9 and 10 Release?
It’s going to be a later night than usual. Why? Because we’re getting not one but two new episodes. Episode 9 premieres on Adult Swim this Sunday, September 5 at 11/10c p.m. It will then be immediately following by Episode 10 at 11:30/10:30c p.m.
Where Can I Watch Rick and Morty Season 5 Online for Free?
Now is a truly wonderful time to be a Rick and Morty fan. At the moment all eight episodes are available to watch on Adult Swim’s site for free. But if you want to watch the final two episodes live, then you’re going to need access to live TV.
If you have cable, you’re already set. Make sure your TV is turned to Cartoon Network on or before 11 p.m. ET tonight. You can even watch if you’re going to be away from your TV. As long as you have a cable username and password you can watch Rick and Morty live from anywhere. As an added bonus, you can also use that cable username and password to watch the first eight episodes of this season.
Are you a cord cutter who still loves live TV? Then you’re still set. YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and Sling TV all come with Cartoon Network, which means they have Adult Swim. You can also use these services to watch past episodes.
What if none of this applies to you? Then you better hope Adult Swim is feeling generous. At the moment the first eight episodes are available to stream for free on the network’s website and apps. Episode 9 and 10 will likely be locked under a cable username and password, at least for the first week. If all of those options fail, you can always hope the final two episodes will air during Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty 24/7 live stream.
Is Rick and Morty on Hulu?
It
is, but probably not the season you’re eyeing. The first four seasons of Rick and Morty are on all versions of Hulu. As for Season 5, it’s only available through Hulu’s live TV skinny bundle package, Hulu + Live TV. As we’ve covered before, Season 5 is expected to come to Hulu, but it’s going to take a few months.

Is Rick and Morty on HBO Max?
With HBO Max, you’re looking at the same deal as Hulu. The streaming service does have Rick and Morty Seasons 1 through 4, and Season 5 is expected to come to it. But that won’t happen until after this season and Rick and Morty‘s SVOD blackout period has ended. Bottom line? It’ll be a few months.
How Many Episodes Are in Rick and Morty Season 5?
Altogether there are 10 episodes in this season, which means after tonight we’re all done.
How Many Seasons Are in Rick and Morty? How Many Seasons of Rick and Morty Are There?
Five down and at least five to go. In 2018 the animated comedy was given a 70-episode renewal. Ten of those episodes made up Season 4, and 10 more were Season 5. That means we have 50 episodes to go.

Tonight we watch the Rick and Morty season 5 finale to say goodbye (for how long? who knows?) to the broadcasts. So we've got what you need to watch Rick and Morty season 5 episode 9 and 10 online.
Rick and Morty season 5 finale time and channel
Episodes 9 and 10 of Rick
and Morty season 5 is airing at 11 p.m. ET today (Sunday, Sept. 5).
The episodes air on Cartoon Network's [adult swim] block, and are titled "Forgetting Sarick Mortshall" and "Rickmurai Jack."
As for what's going on, there is a bit to talk about here that involves some live action chicanery that AdultSwim posted to Twitter. But we'll get to that in a second. For starters, let's look at what we know about Forgetting Sarick Mortshall.
The episode starts off with Morty using the portal gun without Rick's permission, and accidentally getting it on his hand. We're sure that's not going to end well for everyone involved. But at least it's more tame than some of the things he's done this season.
On Friday, AdultSwim released a music video for the song "Borrowed Time" by the band Tennis — which appears to have been deleted. The video, which looks like it could preview the end of the season (or just the end of episode 9) sees Rick and Morty at a bit of an impasse.
That's not all, though, as a live-action Rick and Morty clip with Christopher Lloyd clip also dropped on Friday. Is this a segment of the season 5 finale? Considering the use of portals we're not ruling it out.

How to watch Rick and Morty season 5 online from anywhere
If you're out of town and Rick and Morty isn't available to watch in your current location, you don't need to be thwarted by geo-fenced restrictions. But, with the help of a virtual private network (VPN), you can watch the new episode live no matter where you are.
Our pick for the best VPN (opens in new tab) is ExpressVPN (opens in new tab). It meets all the VPN needs and is easy to use and delivers fast internet speeds, making it simple to set up for streaming in no time at all. It also works on practically any device, starting with iOS and Android and including streaming devices such as the Amazon Fire TV Stick and Apple TV. Plus, game consoles like PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN (opens in new tab) is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to your website or streaming service of choice and tune in.
