We’re deep into season two of The Last of Us, and things are ramping up. Warning to readers – if you haven’t caught up on episodes 1 through 4, big spoilers lie ahead.
After Joel’s shocking death in the early episodes, Ellie (Bella Ramsey) is out for blood. In episode four, she and Dina (Isabela Merced) finally made it to Seattle, where a brutal war between the W.L.F. and the cult-like Seraphites is seen tearing the city apart. With the infected more terrifying than ever, things are only going to get more intense.
Premiering this weekend, episode 5 of the hit HBO show will introduce deadly spores to the series for the first time as Ellie and Dina continue their search for Abby (Kaitlyn Dever). Here’s when and how you can watch The Last of Us season 2 episode 5 in the UK.

The Last of Us airs exclusively on Sky Atlantic here in the UK. It is broadcast at 2am BST every Monday morning. The fifth episode of season 2 will begin broadcasting on 12 May at 2am, premiering simultaneously with the US broadcast on HBO.
For viewers unwilling to stay up that late on a school night, even for The Last of Us, the latest episode of the show airs again at 9pm every Monday evening on Sky Atlantic. But you can, of course, always catch it on Now or on demand on Sky Go.
If you’re not already a Sky customer, you can get a Sky Stream box (£15 per month, Sky.com), which comes with a Sky TV entertainment package and a free subscription to Netflix and Discovery+ – the home of Eurosport.
The Sky Stream doesn’t require a satellite dish, as it streams Sky directly over your broadband connection. It’s the cheapest and easiest way to get Sky TV, giving you access to Sky Atlantic, Sky Showcase and Sky Max, as well as on-demand content.
How to watch ‘The Last of Us’ in the UK on Now TV
If you don’t already have Sky or don’t want to buy the Sky Stream box, but still want to watch The Last of Us, you can stream it live on the Sky-owned Now streaming service (formerly Now TV), or watch it on catch-up.
You’ll have to subscribe to Now’s entertainment membership. The pay-monthly streaming service includes access to shows from Sky Atlantic, Sky Documentaries, Peacock, MTV and more, including House of the Dragon and The White Lotus.
A Now entertainment membership costs £9.99 per month, but you can also get a six-month Now entertainment and Now cinema membership at a discount (was £19.98 per month, now £13.99 per month, Nowtv.com).
What is ‘The Last of Us’ season 2 episode 5 about?
The Last of Us season 2 episode 5 will air on Monday 12 May at 2am. The episode is titled ‘Feel Her Love’ and is the shortest episode of the season’s run at just 45 minutes.
In the teaser trailer, Ellie and Dina come across a decomposed infected body which exhales a cloud of spores. Spores were a crucial part of the story and gameplay of the video game series, but so far, the show has omitted spores, as the writers said they didn’t want the actors covered by gas masks.

The Last of Us season 2 has seven episodes in total. That’s slightly shorter than the length of season 1, which had 9. Episode 6 has the longest runtime at 60 minutes, and episode 5 has the shortest at 45 minutes.
The final episode of The Last of Us will be broadcast on Monday 26 March 2025 in the UK. Here’s the full release schedule for The Last of Us in the UK:
