It’s been 2 whole years since season 3 premiered on Netflix and now finally season 4 is out… just not in Australia. So, when will Aussie’s get season 4?
Rick and Morty is one of the most popular and highly rated adult animated series which makes the wait for each season excruciatingly painful. Show creator, Dan Harmon, knows that and he has often jokes about it.

At the end of season 2, Mr. Poopybutthole from Season 2 episode 4, who is recovering from a near fatal gunshot wound, says, “Ooh wee! What a cliffhanger — oh boy, oh my — tune in to Rick and Morty season 3 in a year and a half, or maybe longer.”
Why was Rick and Morty season 4 delayed in Australia?
Seems like a year and a half is bare minimum, especially if you live in Australia. Rick and Morty season 4 premiered on Netflix on November 10th and both the showrunners and Netflix remained silent on the Australian premiere date.
Why was Rick and Morty season 4 delayed in Australia?
Your guess is as good as ours, but we assume that it has something to do with our good relationship with the UK. Channel 4 has the rights to the series in the UK and was going to broadcast it in January, 2020, but fans were outraged so they pushed the release date forward to November 10th.
OK Rick and Morty fans…you told us you were none too happy about having to wait till January to see Series 4 on Channel 4. We heard you! So we’re bringing forward its UK premiere to 10pm on Wednesday Nov 20 on E4, then streaming on All 4. Enjoy!

Or it could have just been waiting for classification by the Australian Government. Who knows.
The streaming page for Rick and Morty on Netflix has been updated and the premiere date shows December 22 and Netflix intend on releasing the 6 episodes that will be available on Netflix US simultaneously which means there will be plenty to binge right before Christmas.
