True Detective: Night Country - season 4 release schedule: When is episode 6?
What secrets await in the season finale?
The latest episode of True Detective: Night Country ended on a jaw-dropping note as one character met a violent end.
The shocking events have left the future of police chief Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and state trooper Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) in jeopardy, whether they can solve the murder of local midwife Annie K or not.
This latest edition of True Detective has proved polarising, with some enjoying its markedly different take on the material and others finding it too distant from the original vision.
In a recent comment piece, we argued whether HBO failed Night Country by making it a True Detective series, as the series would likely have had a smoother reception if it wasn't forced to carry the baggage of the franchise.
Hopefully, a barnstorming final chapter will help ensure that the conversation around the show ends on a high note, with big revelations and momentous moments for our characters all but guaranteed.
If you're excited to see it, here is where the finale lands on the True Detective: Night Country release schedule.
When is True Detective: Night Country episode 6 on Sky and NOW?
True Detective: Night Country episode 6 (the season finale) premieres on Sky Atlantic at 2:05am on Monday 19th February 2024, occurring simultaneously with the US broadcast on HBO.
However, if you're happy to wait, the episode will be repeated on terrestrial at the more manageable time of 9pm that same day.
The drama series is back on its usual schedule following a staggered rollout last week to avoid clashing with the Super Bowl, a mega event in the US broadcast calendar.
How many episodes are in True Detective: Night Country?
True Detective: Night Country is notably shorter than the previous editions of the anthology drama, clocking in at a mere six episodes – and they really have flown by!
In contrast, the previous three seasons have each been eight episodes in length, with the shortened duration coming in alongside a new creative team – writer-director Issa López takes the baton from series creator Nic Pizzolatto.
