‘Treasure Island’ Episode 5 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch, and Preview
The fifth chapter of ‘Treasure Island’ arrives on Sunday, November 8, under the title Skeleton Island. The series premiered on October 11 and runs for six episodes, with its finale set for November 15. That places this installment at the start of the final stretch.
For viewers planning their weekend, the essentials of this ‘Treasure Island’ episode come down to when it airs, where it streams and what the official synopsis reveals. The listing describes a search for the treasure that is shaped by tension and paranoia as the island’s dark history emerges. Here is what has been confirmed so far.
‘Treasure Island’ Release Date Across Regions
The episode is listed to air on November 8. The series follows a weekly release schedule, with new episodes arriving every Sunday in the US through November 15.
Viewers in the UK and Ireland get the episode a day later. Paramount+ lists the fifth chapter for Monday, November 9, as part of its weekly Monday rollout. The finale follows on November 16 for those audiences.
The gap between regions is worth noting for anyone trying to avoid spoilers. A Sunday night viewer in the US will be a full day ahead of British subscribers, so social media discussion may begin before the Paramount+ release.
Episode Release Time and Broadcast Details
An exact time for the fifth chapter has not been confirmed in the listings. One schedule notes that the time has not been announced for the November 8 date. The previous installment offers a useful guide, though.
The fourth chapter aired on linear television on Sunday at 10 p.m. Eastern Time. Digital subscribers in the United States could stream it on demand starting at 12 a.m. PT, which is 3 a.m. ET, on the same day. If the pattern holds, the fifth chapter would follow the same rhythm, although viewers should check the MGM+ schedule closer to air time.
That fourth chapter ran for 45 minutes. A runtime for the next installment has not been published in the sources reviewed.
Where to Watch ‘Treasure Island’ in the US and UK
In the United States, the series streams exclusively on MGM+. Viewers can also watch through the MGM+ Prime Video Channel, and new subscribers can use a seven day free trial.
In the UK, ‘Treasure Island’ streams exclusively on Paramount+, with the option of watching through the Paramount+ Prime Video Channel. The series was commissioned as a joint original by Paramount+ UK and Ireland and MGM+ in the US, with Fifth Season handling global distribution outside those territories.
Episodes can be downloaded through the MGM+ app on supported mobile devices when the download feature is offered for the series. That makes it simple to catch up before the finale.
Skeleton Island Preview and the Cast Driving the Story
The official synopsis says Jim leads the search while jockeying for control pushes the group toward the fortune, but an unexpected force intervenes before anyone can claim it. The previous installment had signaled that tension would propel the survivors toward the perils of Skeleton Island. That sets up a confrontation that has been building since the voyage began.
David Oyelowo stars as Long John Silver, Hayley Atwell plays Bess Hawkins, Jack Huston is Aaron Graham, Tomer Capone is Billy Bones, and Tom Sweet plays Jim Hawkins. The series was created by Robert Murphy, who adapted Stevenson’s story for television.
The adaptation has also reshaped some of its characters. In an exclusive interview, TV Insider spoke with Atwell and Oyelowo about the changes, noting that Bess was little more than a footnote in the original text and that Silver is now a former Caribbean slave. The production was filmed in Bristol, England, and Tenerife, Spain. Whether the unexpected force on Skeleton Island will tip the balance toward Jim, Bess or Long John Silver is a question worth debating in the comments.
