Rick and Morty season 5 episode 2 time and channel

Episode 2 of Rick and Morty season 5 — titled "Mortyplicity" — goes live at 11 p.m. today (Sunday, June 27).
It's on Cartoon Network, during the AdultSwim block.

It's time to watch Rick and Morty season 5 episode 2, continuing the rich tradition of giving us a schwifty treat before the weekend ends. Speaking of standing between things, fate and Rick continued to separate Morty from happiness last week, as a space-time gateway and Rick's visiting nemesis halted Morty from his date with Jessica. Isn't that how it always works with family?

So, how will Morty do in season 5's remaining 9 episodes, as it looks like he's getting more and more fed up with Rick's way of disrupting his life. Well, it looks like Rick's the one getting things turned on his head again, as someone seems to be hunting the world's most reckless grandfather down (or so he says). The early trailer suggests that an uninvited guest is there to make life bad for Rick.

Will this be connected to last week's war of the Hooves? Every time Morty walked into that reality, much more time had passed, to the point where an entire race seems to want Morty dead.

That said, we're more ready to expect clones. The season 5 episode 2 title "Mortyplicity" says a lot if you ask us, referencing the 1996 Michael Keaton movie where the star cloned himself to carry out all of his own obligations. Remember Space Beth? 

We wonder if there's a Space Morty who could have a message for our Morty, about how good life could be without Rick. Or maybe Morty's the one cloning himself so he can try again with Jessica.

How can I watch Rick and Morty season 5 online with a VPN?

If you're out of town and Rick and Morty isn't available to watch in your current location, you don't need to be thwarted by geo-fenced restrictions. But, with the help of a virtual private network (VPN), you can watch the new episode live no matter where you are. 

Our pick for the best VPN is ExpressVPN. It meets all the VPN needs and is easy to use and delivers fast internet speeds, making it simple to set up for streaming in no time at all. It also works on practically any device, starting with iOS and Android and including streaming devices such as the Amazon Fire TV Stick and Apple TV. Plus, game consoles like PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Our favorite VPN service, ExpressVPN, is our top choice. It's got a solid mix of safety, speed and ease-of-use. Plus, you get an extra 3 months free if you sign up for a year.

If you've already cut the cord, you can watch Rick and Morty on multiple live TV streaming services including Sling TV, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV and AT&T TV Now.

Of these options, we recommend Sling TV, currently down to $10 for the first month. YouTube TV, however, offers a Cloud DVR with unlimited storage, something for the time-shifting crowd who don't need to watch it live. We do not recommend AT&T TV Now.
