The latest run of the hugely popular animated show drops us in right at the point of Season 5's stirring cliffhanger that left us pondering Evil Morty's exit from Rick's Central Finite Curve. With the Rick and Morty left marooned in space and Evil Morty possibly out of the show for good, all bets are now off as to which direction the show now goes in.

The finale's epic event's also mean Rick is no longer the smartest being throughout the universe, and his once all-powerful portal gun no longer works. How the dysfunctional duo work their way out of the mess remains to be seen, but expect more relentless mocking of Jerry, poop jokes aplenty and a fair helping of dangerous explosions.

Read on to find out how to watch Rick and Morty season 6 no matter where you are in the world with free viewing options in certain countries.

How to watch Rick and Morty season 6 FREE

If you're in the UK, then catching new episodes of season 6 will be an absolute breeze. New episodes air weekly in the UK for free thanks to E4.

This means Rick and Morty season 6 is also free to stream (for those with a valid TV license) on the channel's All 4 service - just make sure you have a valid TV license. Away from home?

Use a VPN to watch All4 from abroad.

Rick and Morty episodes are first aired at the same time as in the US. So, while that's 11pm ET, it's a slighty less convenient 4am BST when they land in the UK. Thankfully episodes will be available to watch at your connivence on demand on All4 after they've been broadcast.

If you’d rather catch it again on TV, episodes will also be shown every Sunday at 10pm BST from September 11.
