Rick and Morty Season 9 Episode 5 ‘Jer Bud’ Airs Tonight on Adult Swim

Cord‑cutters can use short free trials or one‑day passes to watch live and the episode is expected to land on Max the next day.

Overview

  • Episode 5, “Jer Bud,” which airs Sunday, June 21 at 11 p.m. ET, will debut on Adult Swim as the latest weekly drop in Season 9.
  • Viewers without cable can watch live using services that carry Adult Swim, with DIRECTV offering a five‑day free trial and Sling selling day‑ or week‑long passes starting around $4.99.
  • Budget streaming options cited by multiple outlets include Philo and Hulu + Live TV, both of which carry Adult Swim in their lineups and may offer short trials or promotional pricing.
  • Episodes from Season 9 are typically posted to HBO Max/Max the day after broadcast, giving viewers an on‑demand option without a live‑TV signup.
  • Coverage frames Season 9 as a tighter, Rick‑focused arc with recast leads (Ian Cardoni as Rick, Harry Belden as Morty) and returning cast and producers, and previews suggest tonight’s plot centers on Jerry coping with a bizarre parasite infection.
