True Detective Season 4 Episode 5 Premieres Early to Dodge Super Bowl

HBO adjusts the release schedule for its hit series, maintaining viewership during major sports events.

True Detective Season 4, featuring Jodie Foster, airs its penultimate episode early to avoid Super Bowl LVIII clash.
Episode 5 of True Detective: Night County will premiere on February 9, 2024, on HBO Max and HBO, with the finale scheduled for February 18.
The early release decision follows HBO's strategy to maintain viewership during major sports events, previously applied to The Last of Us.
Fans outside the USA may face difficulties watching the episode live due to regional restrictions, with VPNs being a potential workaround.
The series, now leaning into supernatural themes and featuring female leads, sets the stage for a dramatic finale addressing multiple plot threads.
