How Long Is ‘Rick and Morty’ Season 3 Episode 5 Tonight?

Adult Swim

Rick and Morty continues Season 3 tonight with Episode 5, “The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy.” We know from the previews that this is going to be a Rick and Jerry adventure, so that’s pretty exciting. Every week, some fans wonder if there’s any chance that this week’s episode will be extra long (especially since Sunday night’s other popular show, Game of Thrones, has a tendency to throw in different-length episodes at random.) You may also be wondering about this if you looked at the schedule for tonight and noticed that two back-to-back Rick and Morty episodes are airing this evening. (Note: If you’re here looking for live stream information, visit Heavy’s story here.) 

So how long will the episode be?

Tonight’s new Rick and Morty episode 5 will air for its normal length of 30 minutes on Adult Swim, including commercials. So it will begin at 11:30 p.m. Eastern and end at midnight.

If you see a listing for Rick and Morty at 11 p.m. Eastern, it’s not because we’re getting two new back-to-back episodes or because this new episode is extra long. Adult Swim is simply airing the fourth episode of Rick and Morty Season 3, “Vindicators 3,” immediately prior to the premiere of Episode 5. So if you want to refresh yourself on what happened last week, tune in 30 minutes early.

If you’re having some trouble waiting for the new episode to premiere, you can always visit AdultSwim.com and catch up on all the episodes that have previously aired. (Except for last week, because apparently AdultSwim doesn’t want to share that one for free.) Visit the Rick and Morty page here and if you scroll down, you’ll see that all the other episodes are available.

To get ready for tonight’s episode, you’ll want to watch this preview for the episode first. And check out these spoilers about Season 3 here.
