We’re about to hit the halfway point when it comes to Rick and Morty Season 5. If you’ve been able to watch this new season the whole time, that’s a bittersweet revelation. But if you’ve completely abandoned cable and have yet to see an episode, that’s a frustrating one. Wondering when you’ll be able to watch Rick and Morty Season 5 on HBO Max and Hulu? We don’t have a definite answer,
but we have some good guesses. Here’s what we know. Season 5 is expected to go to HBO Max and Hulu… eventually. That last word is the key here. Because of windowing restraints when it comes to streaming it’s expected to be a while. Let us explain. Since WarnerMedia owns Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, and HBO Max, we’re absolutely sure that
Rick and Morty Season 5 will be coming to this streaming service. That’s the good news. The bad news is it’s going to take a long time. Typically cable shows follow a specific and long schedule before they’re eligible to go to streaming. After the final episode airs, the season enters what’s known as a SVOD blackout period. During that time the season will only be available for digital purchase or rental. After that period is up, which takes on average seven to nine months, that
season can go to streaming. That time period seems to be a bit shorter in Rick and Morty‘s case.Will Rick and Morty Season 5 Be Coming to HBO Max and Hulu?

For example, Season 4 of the series concluded on May 31, 2020. But that season wasn’t available to stream on Hulu and HBO Max until November 1 of that same year, about five months later.
We don’t know exactly when Rick and Morty will come to streaming, but we can make some educated guesses. Assuming that this season continues with a weekly rollout, we can expect Season 5 to end on Sunday, August 22. If this season is like Season 4, it will likely take about five months before it can come to streaming. That means we’re looking at Rick and Morty Season 5 to come to HBO Max around February of 2022.
When Will Rick and Morty Season 5 Be on Hulu?
Hulu is playing with the same rules as HBO Max. Considering the SVOD blackout period, we can likely expect Rick and Morty Season 5 to come to Hulu’s basic plans in February of 2022.
But if you have Hulu’s live TV options, you’re in luck. You can currently watch Rick and Morty Season 5 on Hulu + Live TV, whether or not your plan has commercials. That’s the bonus you get for paying a lot more.

Now past the halfway in this season, Rick and Morty season five has continued to develop its usual style. Military turkeys? Sure. A spaceship with a murderous tendency? It's there. An evil merman who is both Rick's arch-enemy and has the ability to control police with his hips...surprisingly this season has it.
And, like in previous season's Dan Harmon and his team have roped in a host of celebrity features including Alison Brie, Timonthy Olyphant and Christina Ricci, all playing some wacky characters.
Plus, since way back in season 3, the Rick and Morty writing team has diversified greatly, bringing in a bigger split of gender for its writers, something that has led to a greater involvement of both Summer and Beth.
Whether you're looking to start this season from the beginning or are just looking for the latest episode, you're in the right place. Read on to find out how to watch Rick and Morty season 5 no matter where you are in the world with free viewing options in certain countries.
