Rick and Morty Season 5 Episodes to Release Mondays on Netflix in India, Starting June 21

Rick and Morty season 5 episodes will air every Monday on Netflix in India, the streaming service has revealed. The fifth season of Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon's animated series premiered Sunday, June 20 at 8pm PT/ 11pm ET on Adult Swim in the US. That translates to Monday, June 21 at 8:30am IST here in India, but viewers in India will have to wait just a little bit longer every week. Rick and Morty season 5 episode 1 dropped Monday, June 21 at 12:30pm IST on Netflix in India, in line with Netflix's default release time in India. Every Rick and Morty season 5 episode will follow on the same time.

A weekly day-and-date release strategy in India (and elsewhere) for Rick and Morty season 5 fits in with Adult Swim's “global premiere” plans that were unveiled with the first trailer back in March. In contrast, the first half of Rick and Morty season 4 was released together after the first five episodes were done airing on Adult Swim, though the second half was made available weekly — but one week after airing in the US. There's none of that wait with Rick and Morty season 5.

Here's what we know of the Rick and Morty season 5 schedule so far:

Rick and Morty season 5 airs Sundays at 8pm PT/ 11pm ET in the US on Adult Swim, and Mondays at 12:30pm IST in India on Netflix.
