“True Detective: Night Country” Episode 5 Will Premiere Two Days Early

We’re all in the Night Country now. To avoid the Super Bowl takeover this Sunday night, we’ve learned “True Detective: Night Country” Episode 5 is coming sooner than expected.

Episode 5 will premiere Friday, February 9 at 9pm EST on both HBO and Max. Episode 6, the finale of “True Detective: Night Country,” will then debut on Sunday, February 18.

“True Detective: Night Country” has proven to be a massive hit for HBO and the Max streaming service here in 2024, with the viewership rising on a week-to-week basis.

From writer/director/showrunner/executive producer Issa López (Tigers Are Not Afraid), “Night Country” stars screen legend Jodie Foster alongside newcomer Kali Reis.

“When the long winter night falls in Ennis, Alaska, the eight men who operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanish without a trace. To solve the case, Detectives Liz Danvers (Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Reis) will have to confront the darkness they carry in themselves, and dig into the haunted truths that lie buried under the eternal ice.”

Issa López serves as showrunner and writer and directs all episodes.

This will be the show’s first season without creator Nic Pizzolatto. Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson return as executive producers, with Foster also exec producing.

“True Detective” premiered on HBO back in 2014, with the stellar first season being followed by second and third seasons that didn’t quite garner the same acclaim as that initial outing.
