HBO Moves ‘Industry’ and ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ to Friday Streaming to Avoid Super Bowl

Linear HBO airings remain on Feb. 8 in regular prime-time slots after an HBO Max drop at 12:01 a.m. PT on Feb. 6.

Overview

  • Industry Season 4, Episode 5 (“Eyes Without a Face”) and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1, Episode 4 (“Seven”) will stream Friday, Feb. 6 at 12:01 a.m. PT/3:01 a.m. ET on HBO Max.
  • The episodes will still premiere on HBO on Sunday, Feb. 8, with Industry at 9 p.m. ET and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms at 10 p.m. ET.
  • HBO advanced the streaming window to steer clear of Super Bowl Sunday’s TV audience.
  • The network has used similar early-release tactics before previous Super Bowls, including for True Detective: Night Country in 2024 and The Last of Us in 2025.
  • Those who watch on Friday will face a nine-day gap before the next episodes, and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ six-episode first season is already renewed with Season 2 in production.
