If you’re traveling outside of the United States, watching Rick and Morty shouldn’t present a problem if you use a reliable VPN service. Several TV networks and streaming services will give you access to Rick and Morty’s high-speed comedy adventures from anywhere in the world.

‘Rick and Morty’ Season Seven Release Date

The seventh season of Rick and Morty premiered October 15 in the United States and will eventually be seen in more than 130 countries and in 38 languages. In the U.S., each new episode will be available for purchase from digital retailers the day after its premiere on Adult Swim. A new episode will be shown each week on Adult Swim at 11 p.m. EDT or 8 p.m. PDT.


What is the Plot of the New Season?

The sixth season ended with an episode that started at Christmas before segueing into an interdimensional travel adventure.

Adult Swim has released an announcement teaser featuring the characters Summer and Beth and a trailer for Season Seven. The videos suggest fans can expect a continued storyline following Rick and Morty’s pursuit of Rick Prime, the evil doppelganger responsible for killing Rick’s wife.

They also foreshadowed an evil Morty comeback, Jerry finally getting a job, intergalactic war, zombies and the return of old fan-favorite characters.


Season Seven Cast Changes

New voice actors are taking on the roles of Rick and Morty for Season Seven, after Adult Swim cut ties in January with the show’s co-creator Justin Roiland over domestic abuse charges against him. The charges were later dropped.

Roiland had provided the voices for both main characters during the first six seasons. In a news release about the upcoming season, Adult Swim teased fans, saying, “Rick and Morty are back and sounding more like themselves than ever!”

The new actors are Ian Cardoni (Rick) and Harry Belden (Morty).

How To Watch ‘Rick and Morty’ With a VPN

Various streaming and cable TV services will allow you to enjoy Rick and Morty Season Seven from within the U.S. If you’re traveling abroad, however, you may face some barriers when attempting to access U.S-based streaming services. Streaming services typically block users from watching their programming outside the regions where they have licenses.

If you use a virtual private network or VPN, however, the streaming service will work as though you’re home in the U.S. rather than in another country. You can access any of your streaming services from wherever you are with a stable internet connection.

Affordable plans from NordVPN (starting at $3.19 per month, with a 30-day money-back guarantee) and TorGuard VPN (starting at $9.99 per month, with a seven-day money-back guarantee) are two options you can use to watch Rick and Morty Season Seven from anywhere.

How To Set Up a VPN

Setting up a VPN involves a simple, straightforward process that puts Rick and Morty on your screen a lot faster. First, you must create an account with your chosen VPN provider after downloading the app on your computer or smart device.

Once you do that, the app will connect you to the nearest VPN server or allow you to choose from a list of servers. Select a server in the U.S. to route your internet traffic there.

Once you receive confirmation of your new connection, you can use your device to watch streaming services as if you were stateside. When you’re done, disconnect from your VPN or switch your server from the home screen.
