Summary

  • Fans can enjoy a new episode of Rick and Morty season 8, “Valkyrick,” on June 1st, 2025 at 11 p.m. E.T. on Adult Swim.
  • The upcoming episode features Space Beth, sparking debates on the real Beth while exploring family dynamics and sci-fi themes.
  • Season 8 premiere, “Summer of all Fears,” was well-received and anticipated episode 2 is expected to be popular due to the return of Memory Rick.

The eighth season of Rick and Morty debuted on May 25th, 2025, and as always, Morty Smith and his witty and wise grandfather, Rick Sanchez, have been entertaining viewers since the series first premiered in 2013. This animated sitcom continues to deliver amusing and thought-provoking episodes that are reminiscent of Dan Harmon’s other creation, Community, although the subject matter is quite distinct. Each episode presents a unique tale about family dynamics while exploring various scientific concepts, offering an enjoyable viewing experience even though the show often strays from reality.

Looking forward to October 2024, I was thrilled to learn from Variety that my beloved series, Rick and Morty, has been renewed for several more seasons, including season 12. As we’re currently enjoying season 8, this means we can look forward to watching these hilarious characters for at least four more seasons beyond this one – fantastic news! Now, I’m eagerly awaiting the release dates and storylines for Rick and Morty season 8, episode 2. Let’s find out together!

How To Watch Rick And Morty Season 8, Episode 2, “Valkyrick”

Fans can catch Rick and Morty season 8, episode 2 titled “Valkyrick” airing on Sunday, June 1st, 2025, at 11 p.m., Eastern Time, only on Adult Swim, which is part of the Cartoon Network.

The official description reads, according to Rotten Tomatoes:

“Space Beth calls her dad for a ride.”

I’m thrilled to learn that Space Beth, one of the most captivating characters from Rick and Morty, will grace our screens in the upcoming episode. Ever since Rick cloned his daughter Beth Smith (Sarah Chalke) and introduced us to Space Beth in the season 4 finale, “Star Mort Rickturn of the Jed,” fans have been intrigued by the question of which Beth is authentic. This mystery has become a beloved aspect of the show, adding an intellectual twist that keeps viewers guessing.

Beth serves as an excellent vehicle for exploring the concept of family within Rick and Morty, and her complexities make her a fascinating character to follow. Furthermore, the cloning storyline is always a refreshing take on science fiction, given the rich history of movies on this theme. The series’ decision not to provide a definitive answer about the real Beth but instead keep things enigmatic works incredibly well. It’s a smart move that keeps us hooked and eager for more!

Just as viewers have grown accustomed to witnessing multiple incarnations of the beloved character Pickle Rick, fans find themselves at home with the eccentricities and unpredictability of Space Beth in this peculiar, unruly, and offbeat universe. One of her most memorable episodes occurred in season 7, episode 6 of “Rick and Morty,” titled “Rickfending Your Mort.” Here, she expresses exasperation towards The Observer’s repeated showings of moments that she would prefer remained private. Whether it’s Clone Beth or Space Beth, this character frequently endures embarrassment at the hands of her father, resulting in amusing scenes.

In the debut of Rick and Morty‘s eighth season, titled “Summer of all Fears,” the character Summer Smith (portrayed by Spencer Grammer) experiences a trying school day. Many viewers expressed favorable opinions about this premiere on Reddit, with @nightwingprime describing it as “remarkably robust for an opening episode” and even labeling it a “timeless adventure.” Other fans also praised it as a “powerful” start to the season. With season 8, episode 2 set to reintroduce a cherished character, there’s a good chance it will resonate with viewers just as much.

Sarah Chalke Enjoys Playing Two Beths On Rick And Morty

In 2020, Sarah Chalke spoke with Inverse and mentioned her enjoyment of portraying Clone Beth and Space Beth in the Adult Swim show. Simply put, she enjoys acting as these characters.

I absolutely adore it! Experimenting with and portraying variations of the character was an enjoyable process, as I discovered intricate distinctions between them.

Chalke also mentioned the clever Rick and Morty season 4 finale and continued:

As we moved forward, neither I nor anyone else seems to have figured out who’s the original and who’s the clone. It’s fascinating that the creators chose to end it in such a way, with neither Beths showing much concern about their cloned identity.

Fans are fine with not discerning between genuine and fabricated Beths, and this complex storyline definitely adds intrigue. Given that there’ll be ten episodes in Rick and Morty’s eighth season, let’s hope Space Beth makes another appearance. It’s clear that the show remains as entertaining to watch as it was during season 1, with its eccentric and intelligent characters never losing their charm.
