Having to wait a whole week to see the next of the new smash hit The Last of Us has been a struggle, but the wait will be a little easier with episode 5 set to release on Foxtel and Binge on Saturday 11 February at 1.00pm AEDT.

HBO has made the decision to move the episode forward to avoid going head-to-head with Super Bowl LVII, the biggest American sporting event of the year. It is not uncommon for shows to move or more often take the week off to avoid poor ratings in comparison, so we can be grateful that they decided to release the show early instead of making us wait longer. Episode 6 will return to the usual Monday timeslot on the 20th of February so there will be an extra two-day wait between episodes 5 and 6.

Let us know if you’re excited to watch episode 5 of The Last of Us and be sure to check out our spoiler discussions of each episode over on Platinum Explosion.
