If you are a true Rick and Morty fan, you know how hard the wait for the next season can be, especially with season 4 being so good. Even though the fifth season was launched by Adult Swim in June and is available on cable and on some streaming platforms, it might take a bit longer for Hulu users to get a hold of the latest season of Rick and Morty.
The eventful science-fiction black comedy sitcom created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland follows the life of super-intelligent scientist Rick and the adventures he has with his grandson Morty (and lately with his whole family). The sitcom deals with science stuff and alien worlds, so there's a lot of room for creativity, but it can be absolutely enjoyed and appreciated by anyone who likes to see the bigger picture of life and an absurd, quirky, and irreverent show for adults.
It is almost a tradition for cable TV shows to wait around 6 months since airing before appearing on streaming platforms. This is the delay that Rick and Morty season 5 has to go through as well before being available on Hulu.
Adult Swim is owned by Warner Brothers, which also owns HBO, so it means that the show is already available on HBO GO in some countries and sure to be aired on HBO Max and Hulu at the same time later on, so there is no need for any doubt at all on whether Rick and Morty season 5 will be available on Hulu.
The finale of Rick and Morty season 4 was released by Adult Swim on May 31, 2020, and the same was available on HBO Max and Hulu on November 1, 2020. The release of the season finale of Rick and Morty season 5 is scheduled to be aired on September 5, 2021. If the pattern is to be repeated, then the final season of Rick and Morty will be available somewhere around the end of January or the beginning of February 2022 on Hulu.
If you have a Hulu Live TV subscription, then you are in luck - there is no need to wait, as you can watch the latest episodes of Rick and Morty season 5 right now. And if you do not have a Hulu Live TV subscription and also cannot get a hold of the cable connection, this is the perfect time to binge-watch the first four seasons that are available on Hulu right now.
