The Last of Us: Episode 5 won’t air on Sunday – When will it premiere?
The “Super Bowl” is to blame for this
As it became known, the 5th episode of The Last of Us will not be shown on Sunday – like the previous episodes, but a little earlier. And that’s why the Super Bowl is to blame, which will open this year’s curtain on Sunday, February 12 and will have all the spotlight on it.
So, as confirmed by HBO, the next episode will arrive earlier and specifically on Friday, February 10 at 9:00 PM (US time). The American network has also released the preview video and wants to give you a little taste of what’s to come with Joel and Ellie in Kansas City.
