All About Interwebz: What time is Rick and Morty season 5 episode 1 released today?

Need to know when to watch Rick and Morty season 5 episode 1 this weekend? The show airs on Sunday, June 20 on Adult Swim in the US and Monday, June 21 on E4 in the UK. Below, we'll explain the exact times you can watch this new episode, and those that follow. The wait between season 4 and 5 hasn't been as bad this time – the last season ended a little over a year ago, which isn't so bad.

This week's episode is called 'Mort Dinner Rick Andre', which is a not-very-subtle play on the title of classic movie My Dinner With Andre, just in case you didn't get that. The premise sounds nice and simple, at least: Rick's ocean-dwelling nemesis is coming over for dinner – and Morty 'gets the wine', according to the synopsis. Expect the series' usual sci-fi escapades to expand from there.

Rick and Morty season 4 arguably lacked the same number of masterpiece-level episodes as previous seasons – though The Prestige-style twist in 'The Acid Vat Adventure' was certainly the stuff of an all-time great. We remain optimistic about season 5, then, as the team behind the show gradually eats through its 70-episode renewal order that's expected to take the show to season 10.

Here's when you can watch Rick and Morty season 5 where you are.

Will Rick and Morty season 5 be released on Netflix UK?

There's no word on that right now. But if Rick and Morty season 4 is anything to go by, the entire season will likely air on E4 and come to Netflix some months later – assuming the streamer has a continuing deal to keep showing the series.
