Rick and Morty Season 9 Blu-ray/DVD: When Can We Actually Expect It?

Oh boy, Rick and Morty fans, aren't we just a patient bunch? Every time a new season wraps up, or even just when we're deep into a hiatus, the questions start popping up like interdimensional portals: "When's the next season dropping?" and, inevitably, "When can I get my hands on the Blu-ray or DVD?" Well, if you're already wondering about a physical release for Rick and Morty Season 9, let's take a deep breath together and manage those expectations a little bit.

Here’s the honest truth, straight out of the Cronenberg Dimension: there isn't a release date for the Rick and Morty Season 9 Blu-ray or DVD, not by a long shot. And really, there’s a perfectly logical reason for that. We haven’t even seen Season 8 hit our screens yet! It’s like asking for dessert before the main course has even been prepped, you know? While the show is certainly a powerhouse, even Rick and Morty can't bend the space-time continuum quite that much for its home video releases.

Historically, the pattern for Rick and Morty physical media releases has been fairly consistent. We usually see the Blu-ray and DVD sets arrive roughly four to five months after a season's grand finale airs. For instance, the most recent physical release was for Season 7, which became available for purchase on March 12, 2024. That gives us a pretty solid roadmap for how Adult Swim tends to handle these things.

So, with that in mind, let’s do a little projection. Season 8 of Rick and Morty is currently slated to air sometime in late 2024 or perhaps early 2025. Once those episodes conclude, we can then apply that familiar four-to-five-month buffer for its Blu-ray and DVD release. That means we're probably looking at mid-to-late 2025 for the Season 8 physical edition. It’s a bit of a waiting game, to be sure, but that’s just the nature of these highly anticipated shows.

Now, circling back to Season 9 – the season you're really here for – its eventual airing is still quite a ways off. Considering the gaps between seasons, which have sometimes been considerable (partially due to the sheer complexity of animation, writing, and, let’s not forget, recent industry strikes), Season 9 is likely to premiere sometime in 2025 or even 2026. Following that established four-to-five-month window, we're talking about a potential Blu-ray/DVD release date that would likely fall sometime in 2026. Yes, that feels like a long time from now, doesn't it? But hey, at least we know more Rick and Morty is coming; the show has been renewed for a good number of future seasons, so there's plenty to look forward to.

In short, while the enthusiasm for Rick and Morty Season 9 on Blu-ray and DVD is totally understandable, we're still a good ways off from seeing it on shelves. For now, enjoy the anticipation for Season 8, and maybe rewatch your favorite classic episodes. Because when it comes to the adventures of Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith, good things (and physical media releases) definitely come to those who wait.
