‘Youth’ Episode 6 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview
HBO’s ‘Youth’ reaches its sixth episode on Sunday, October 18. The comedy was created by and stars Sharon Horgan, who plays Alex, a 50 year old pursuing sex and love while caring for her ailing parents and parenting her should be grown up son. The series has settled into a steady weekly rhythm, and the schedule is easy to follow.
Anyone searching for the ‘Youth’ sixth episode release date, along with the airtime and streaming options, will find the details below. The season runs for eight episodes, and Rupert Friend, Sharlene Whyte, Aran Murphy and Robbie Gee also star. A look at where the story stands rounds out the picture.
‘Youth’ Sixth Episode Release Date
HBO launched the series on Sunday, September 20 with two episodes back to back, followed by one new episode every Sunday through November 1. That pattern has held from the start. Episode three arrived on September 27, episode four on October 4 and episode five on October 11.
The sixth episode is set for Sunday, October 18, with episode seven following on October 25 and the season finale on Sunday, November 1. That means two more weeks of new material remain after this installment. The home stretch is close.
International audiences have had access from the premiere as well. In Canada the first two episodes were available to stream from September 20 on Crave. Australian viewers can stream the series on HBO Max from the same September 20 premiere date.
What Time the New ‘Youth’ Episode Airs
New episodes of ‘Youth’ air on Sundays at 10 p.m. That slot is listed as ET and PT on HBO. Viewers planning a Sunday night around the show can count on a consistent start.
Each episode also becomes available on HBO Max, which makes it easy to catch up if Sunday night is already crowded. Subscribers who prefer to skip the live broadcast can simply stream it later. The timing has not shifted since the premiere.
Listings differ on length. One preview puts the running time at 29 minutes, while another schedule report says HBO has not published runtimes. It is safest to treat the shorter figure as a guide until the network confirms it.
Where to Watch ‘Youth’ on HBO and HBO Max
‘Youth’ airs on HBO and also streams on HBO Max, so subscribers can watch live or save it for later. In the United States it can also be streamed through the HBO Max Prime Video Channel or by adding HBO Max to Hulu. Those options give viewers some flexibility depending on which services they already use.
Outside the United States the answer depends on the territory. Canadian viewers can watch the series on Crave. HBO Max carries the show in Australia.
Episodes can be downloaded through the HBO Max app on plans that support offline downloads. The series is rated TV-MA and is not suitable for children. Anyone who missed the opening weeks has plenty of time to catch up.
Preview of What Comes Next for Alex
One schedule report notes that HBO has announced the dates and rollout pattern but not individual episode titles or runtimes. A confirmed synopsis for the sixth episode is therefore hard to pin down. Even the listing for the fifth episode, called The Holiday, had no plot summary at the time.
What is clear is where the story stood heading into the later episodes. The fourth episode closed with Alex telling Ruari about her breakup with Michael and suggesting the two head to Ibiza together. Earlier in that episode, her attempt to get back with Patrick quickly fell apart.
The show has drawn warm notices for its tone. RogerEbert.com wrote in its review that the pairing of Horgan and Friend as Patrick is full of charged chemistry. The Daily Beast said the series is funny in a more realistic way than the sitcom style comedy Adults. With Ibiza on the table and Patrick still unresolved, do you think Alex finally makes a choice for herself in the sixth episode, or will Ruari’s situation keep pulling her off course?
