It's been confirmed that while episode 5 will still air at the same time as usual on Sunday 12th February on HBO, it will stream early on HBO Max from 9pm Eastern Time on Friday 10th February.
It's likely this decision has been made due to the episode's HBO broadcast coinciding with the Super Bowl, meaning fans can watch the episode early rather than having to choose between the two.
In the trailer for the episode, Melanie Lynskey's character Kathleen can be seen saying: "Things have gone great. Haven't you heard? Kansas City is free," while later asking: "They told me to forgive, but where is the justice in that?" as carnage ensues.
Lynskey's Kathleen was introduced in episode 4, as the leader of a group of bandits looking for a young man named Henry.
