What is the release date and launch time for Lanterns episode 5 on HBO Max?

Lanterns is about to dial things up to 11. Indeed, after last week's episode not only ended on a major cliff hanger, but also set up myriad showdowns to come, the DC Universe (DCU) TV show's next chapter is primed to be its most explosive one yet.

So, when will episode 5 — titled 'Lights Out' — be released on a streaming platform near you? And what'll happen in it? I'm not at liberty to answer the latter, but I can give you some firm details on the former. Let me grab my Green Lantern ring, then, to shed some light on when this week's entry will premiere.

Lanterns episode 5 will make its bow in the US and Canada on Sunday, September 13 at 6pm PT / 9pm ET.

Meanwhile, those of you who live outside of North America will need to tune in on Monday, September 14 to watch the DCU Chapter One TV series' next installment. Here are the all-important launch times you need to be aware of:

• US — Sunday, September 13 at 6pm PT / 9pm ET
• Canada — Sunday, September 13 at 6pm PT / 9pm ET
• UK — Monday, September 14 at 2am BST
• India — Monday, September 14 at 6:30am IST
• Singapore — Monday, September 14 at 9am SGT
• Australia — Monday, September 14 at 11am AEST
• New Zealand — Monday, September 14 at 1pm NZST

Where can I watch Lanterns episode 5?

Just like the four episodes that preceded it, 'Lights Out' will come out on HBO Max, aka one of the world's best streaming services, where this platform is available.

Unfortunately, the Warner Bros Discovered-owned streamer hasn't landed in every world region yet, so some of you will need to look elsewhere to catch episode 5. Luckily for you, I've tracked down where every chapter of Lanterns will air in your neck of the woods. Read on for more details:

• US — HBO and HBO Max
• Canada — Crave
• UK — HBO Max, Sky Atlantic, and Now TV
• India — JioHotstar
• Singapore — HBO Max
• Australia — HBO Max
• New Zealand — HBO Max
