Rick and Morty season 8, episode 6 is set to premiere on Sunday, June 29, 2025, at 11 p.m. ET/PT. The episode will air exclusively on Adult Swim in the U.S., which can be found on Cartoon Network. For those eager to own the episode, digital purchase options will be available the following day. UK audiences will have to wait a week longer, as E4 will broadcast the episode on July 6, 2025.

What Episode 6 Is About

The sixth installment is titled “The CuRicksous Case of Bethjamin Button.” According to the official synopsis, the episode will see “the brohs go to a theme park Rick loves; Beth and Space Beth stay behind and regress or something.” This setup not only promises classic Rick and Morty mischief at a theme park but also a narrative thread revolving around Beth and her enigmatic clone, Space Beth.

Space Beth has become a complex and fascinating part of the show since her introduction in season 4. She reappeared in season 8, specifically in the “Valkyrick” episode, and brings a fresh, layered energy to the Smith family dynamic. Series creator Dan Harmon has spoken about the philosophical underpinnings of her character, emphasizing the unresolved question of which Beth is the clone. As Harmon explained, “It’s a nature versus nurture thing. Notably, we don’t know if it’s Space Beth or domestic Beth that is the clone.” This ongoing ambiguity injects emotional resonance into what otherwise might just be another clone storyline.

Why Space Beth Resonates with Fans

Space Beth remains a fan favorite precisely because of her sporadic appearances and the depth she brings to Beth’s arc. On Reddit, users have discussed how Space Beth “fleshes Beth out a bit more as a character” and appreciate that she isn’t overused, which makes her role in the coming episode even more special. Episodes featuring Space Beth often push the boundaries of both comedy and pathos, highlighting the show’s signature mix of absurd comedy and authentic emotional stakes.

Some notable episodes featuring Space Beth include:

• “Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri” (S4 E10)
• “Mortyplicity” (S5 E2)
• “Solaricks” (S6 E1)
• “Bethic Twinstinct” (S6 E3)
• “Valyrick” (S8 E2)

Changing Voices, Consistent Energy

Season 8 is also the second consecutive season without original co-creator and lead voice Justin Roiland. Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden have stepped into the iconic roles of Rick and Morty, and, after a period of adjustment, the reception has been largely positive. The heart of the show—exploring dysfunctional storytelling, wild sci-fi concepts, and sharp humor—remains intact.

Adult Swim continues to support Rick and Morty’s unique vision, and each episode further cements the show’s status as an animated cult favorite.
