Rick and Morty is back and better than ever if fan reactions to the first two episodes of season 9 are anything to go by. With viewers praising its return to form, the anticipation for the third episode has reached fever pitch. Fans are ready for more quirky sci-fi adventures with their favorite duo.
The upcoming episode, "Rick Fu Hustle," is set to air soon, promising a nod to the cult classic martial arts comedy, Kung Fu Hustle. With a sneak peek already making waves, it’s clear this episode will deliver the humor and excitement fans crave.
“We’re thrilled to bring fans an episode packed with action and laughs," says creator Dan Harmon, hinting at more thrills to come this season.
Mark your calendars! "Rick Fu Hustle" premieres on Sunday, June 7, 2026, in the US via Adult Swim, with the UK audience catching it on Monday, June 8, on HBO Max. This season’s premiere schedule is a bit different for UK fans, as the show transitioned from Channel 4 to HBO Max earlier this year.
Stateside viewers will wait until June 15, 2026, for the episode to drop on HBO Max. Until then, Adult Swim will be the exclusive destination for every new episode.
This ninth season comprises a total of 10 episodes. But don't worry – there’s plenty more Rick and Morty in the pipeline. The show’s future is secure, with seasons guaranteed through to at least season 12.
