The Last of Us Episode 5: Release Time and Runtime

By Cameron Bonomolo

The Last of Us episode 5 kicks off early ahead of Super Bowl LVII. While HBO's live-action adaptation of the Naughty Dog and PlayStation video game typically airs new episodes weekly on Sundays, the next episode will be available to stream early on Friday to avoid a ratings competition with the big game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. Since its record-breaking series premiere on January 15th, The Last of Us has seen three consecutive weeks of audience growth: the most recent fourth episode, titled "Please Hold My Hand," scored another series high with 7.5 million viewers across HBO Max and linear telecasts on HBO.
