Who’s ready for another round of Pluribus? If you’re reading this article, the smart money says you are.
You won’t have to wait much longer for the Apple TV Original’s fifth episode to air, either. After rumors spread online last weekend (November 21/22) that it would drop earlier than its forebears, Apple has confirmed Pluribus episode 5 will be released sooner than anticipated.
Here, then, is all of the important information you need to know about the sci-fi mystery drama’s next installment.
What time is Pluribus episode 5 coming out on Apple TV?

As the above X/Twitter post revealed, Pluribus episode 5, titled ‘Got Milk’, will premiere on Wednesday, November 26.
Why the early release date? US Thanksgiving is the most likely culprit. With this year’s holiday weekend beginning Thursday, November 27, it seems Apple TV wants viewers stateside to watch the series’ latest entry before they gorge themselves on turkey and apple pie, and/or spend an inordinate amount of time with their family and friends.
The good news for the rest of the world is ‘Got Milk’ will also arrive a day or two (depending on where you live) before other episodes have, which is a bonus.
However, the bad news is we don’t know the exact time that episode 5 will be released because Apple declined to tell me when ‘Got Milk’ will air in different territories.
So, while episodes have dropped at 6pm PT / 9pm ET in the US, for example, I expect episode 5’s launch time to change for one week only. Here’s when I predict Pluribus‘ next chapter will drop:
- US – Wednesday, November 26 at 12am PT / 3am ET
- Canada – Wednesday, November 26 at 12am PT / 3am ET
- UK – Wednesday, November 26 at 8am GMT
- India – Wednesday, November 26 at 1:30pm IST
- Singapore – Wednesday, November 26 at 4pm SGT
- Australia – Wednesday, November 26 at 7pm AEDT
- New Zealand – Wednesday, November 26 at 9pm NZDT
If Pluribus episode 5 doesn’t air at the aforementioned times, the next best case scenario would be a 6pm PT / 9pm ET arrival stateside. If you live elsewhere, you’ll need to convert one of those to your local time zone to work out when you’ll be able to catch it on one of the world’s best streaming services.
When will new episodes of Pluribus be released on Apple TV?
As I mentioned, Pluribus episode 5’s launch on a Wednesday should be a one-off to coincide with US Thanksgiving. Once this week is done, I suspect it’ll revert back to its usual cadence of dropping on Thursdays in North and South America, and Fridays everywhere else.
