Rick and Morty Season 9 is coming, but waiting until August for Max feels brutal
Rick and Morty Season 9 premieres on Adult Swim on May 24, but according to the official Warner Bros. Discovery press release, it won’t be available for U.S. streaming until August 31.

As someone who mainly uses Max for HBO shows, Adult Swim stuff, and animation, that wait feels kind of painful.I know this is probably normal licensing/windowing stuff, but it still makes my Max subscription feel weirdly useless for a show that feels like it belongs in the Max ecosystem. I’m interested in the new season, but I’m not interested enough to chase a live Adult Swim option just to watch it weekly.
So now I’m stuck in that annoying streaming situation again: keep paying for Max while waiting, or cancel and come back in August when the season actually lands on streaming.This is becoming the main reason I rotate subscriptions now. I like Max, but there are too many months where I’m paying for future access instead of actually watching anything new.
Anyone else just waiting until August for Rick and Morty Season 9? Or are you watching it weekly on Adult Swim?
