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

Rick and Morty fans will know we're at a pivotal juncture. Rick and Morty season 5, episode 5 marks the halfway point, after all, and there's some thorny history surrounding that in previous years.

We can officially reassure you, though: Rick and Morty season 5 is not going on the break. As the release schedule below reveals, we're heading into August with an uninterrupted run of new episodes.

But we're getting a tiny bit ahead of ourselves. For those wanting to watch the new episode on the day of release in the US and UK, we're here to help. Below, you'll find the Rick and Morty season 5, episode 5 release date as well as the air time where you live.

Rick and Morty season 5 has put us (and Morty) through the wringer. But we're all still back for more. Rick and Morty season 5, episode 5 airs on Adult Swim on Sunday, July 18 at 11pm Eastern.

Over in the UK, you'll have to wait a day later. It's on E4 at 10pm on July 19.

While we don’t have official confirmation, it is expected that Rick and Morty season 5 will have 10 episodes. However, the Rick and Morty season 5 release schedule has only been set for the first seven episodes, which you can see below. Some episodes have even been switched around from their original order, which is fairly interesting.

• Rick and Morty season 5, episode 1 ("Mort Dinner Rick Andre") – June 20
• Rick and Morty season 5, episode 2 ("Mortyplicity") – June 27
• Rick and Morty season 5, episode 3 ("A Rickconvenient Mort") – July 4
• Rick and Morty season 5, episode 4 ("Rickdependence Spray") – July 11
• Rick and Morty season 5, episode 5 ("Rick & Morty's Thanksploitation Spectacular") – July 18
• Rick and Morty season 5, episode 6 ("Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion") – August 1

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.
