Rick and Morty season 5 release schedule: when does episode 3 air on Adult Swim?

Rick and Morty season 5 continues to roll on with its upcoming third episode. For a season that's already brought us clones and more than a heavy dose of temporal shenanigans, it stands to reason that we're focusing on the same time again next week.

But this is Rick and Morty, a show that almost revels in its ability to catch us off-guard. Previous years have seen surprise episode drops and months-long breaks without warning. Because of that, we're here to allay your fears: our Rick and Morty season 5 release schedule maps out the upcoming season (at least, what we officially know so far) as well as gifting you with the exact time each episode drops every week.

Over in the UK, you need to head over to E4 (Freeview channel 13) on July 5 at 10pm.

While we don’t have official confirmation, it is expected that Rick and Morty season 5 will air every Sunday over 10 weeks. However, the Rick and Morty season 5 release schedule has only been set for the first four episodes, which you can see below. The episodes that have already aired are in bold.

• Rick and Morty season 5, episode 1 ("Mort Dinner Rick Andre") – Sunday, June 20
• Rick and Morty season 5, episode 2 ("Mortyplicity") – Sunday, June 27
• Rick and Morty season 5, episode 3 ("A Rickconvenient Mort") – Sunday, July 4
• Rick and Morty season 5, episode 4 ("Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion") – Sunday, July 11

We’ll update this page as soon as we know more about whether the full season will air across June, July, and August or whether it’s going to pull a season four and be split into two halves of five episodes. Here’s hoping it’s the former.
